School Restaurant

My visit here was amazing, we went for breakfast for my son's birthday, the food was great we enjoyed our meal and the fantastic service.

That was a while ago, today I had a very urgent personal matter to take care of, I had visited a few places but I was turned down.
Someone on the street suggested I ask The School House. After having been turned down several times I didn't have high hopes, Omgoodness they couldn't have been kinder and compassionate to me. Thank you so much to the very kind server, you turned my day around from what could have been a disaster to such a wonderful and feel good experience

Blueberry flapjack pancakes were a delight and loaded with blueberries that won't leave your taste buds.

We got the classic chicken and waffles. Loved the sweet and spicy seasoning on chicken which was juicy and tender but did find bit over salty . Also in house sweet/spicy sauce

Reason for 4 star rating because we waited for over 30 minutes to serve food . Service wasn't up to the bar compare to food which we highly recommend.

Absolutely mind blowing awesome! But also expensive. One of the best brunches in the city. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Unfortunately we were let down with this one. The pancakes had 4 pancakes which came out cold. The restaurant was empty when we were there and our food came out cold. There was not enough toppings or syrup for the pancakes and the apple crumble was dry. The chicken was good but the waffle was cold and soggy. Unfortunately we won't be coming back here but hoping it was just an off day for us!

Stopped by during a trip to Toronto. The service was great and food came out in a timely manner. I had an iced vanilla latte, which was good and did not water down quickly so the flavor was strong (if you are an iced coffee drinker you know).

The biscuits were good and had a little kick to them. The chicken and waffles were decent. I was disappointed, however, because while the coating of the chicken had a lot of seasoning, the chicken itself did not have any.

Let's start with the good stuff...
Creativity (5/5): they serve you juice in lab beakers, that should tell you enough.
Service (4/5): efficient, and the waitress kindly told me not to eat the apple on the table.

And end with the not so good stuff...
Food (2.5): was very underwhelmed, the chicken and waffles were small and too plain (you can get a more delicious and substantial serving from Cluck Clucks for $10 less). The Synonym Toast was pretty good, though a bit dry in the centre. The drinks we tried (Mango Tangerine and Peach Mint Lemonade) were average.
Also be prepared to wait for a good 15+ minutes to be seated (more on weekends).

Finally trying for years to get a seat here, finally made it waited 1 min to get a seat. Be prepared for long line ups for brunch on the weekend. Once inside there's a very small space to line up, the space is open that the kitchen is visible. You can see them cooking right there.

The interior is filled with various school related statement pieces like books as lamp shades, apples on each table, letters etc.

The menu was one page, you get option for savoury and Sweet. We opted to try crispy French Toast & Golden Hashbrown Poutine.

The crispy French Toast was delicious, the peach and raspberry compote is what makes this extra delicious. For sweet lovers.

The Hashbrown poutine on the other hand was a bit of a disappointment, the flavours were bland, the consistency of the mashed potatoes with runny eggs wasn't for me unfortunately.

The vanilla and maple latte were delicious!

The service was great, we were in and out within an hour.

The food and service at School was 10/10. I enjoyed a delicious brunch and carafe. The cheesy French toast was amazing and other worldly. Everything was super fresh and delicious.

This is a super cute school themed restaurant (as is the name) but they've gone above and beyond with the decor! My boyfriend's mango juice thing was served in a glass beaker. How cute is that?? The spinach dip was bomb, my boyfriend's savory French toast was really good, and my chicken and waffles were super tasty especially with the brown sugar butter and maple syrup they came with! The server was really nice and friendly too.

I was very lucky that my friends decided to brave the 30 minute line up before I arrived. The long weekend brunch line has always been a deterrent.

Once inside however it was quite cozy with a cute aesthetic. Everything felt classic about this place - including Everybody Love Raymond playing on a TV.
Music was loud enough to share Saturday night debauchery amongst friends.

I shared the Synonym French Toast with my friend. The actual French Toast was not my favourite, but the toppings were good. The toast was a little too doe-y for me.

I also had the hot chocolate - which was delicious :)

Servers were really kind.

This is not somewhere I'd wait outside for 30 minutes in winter for, but the rest of the year, for sure!
