Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Teachers' Lounge Food + Drink offers a unique dining experience in a converted school setting, praised for its "amazing ambiance" and "delicious food." The attentive service, highlighted by standout servers like Katie, enhances the experience. However, the "slow service" and "limited menu" may affect some visits. Ideal for pre-show dining with a cool theme.

    We had such a wonderful time! The service was AMAZING!!!! We enjoyed our breakfast in a fun location. Since we are both teachers, we enjoyed the ambience. My friend had been in the building when it was still a school. So she got to reminisce while celebrating her birthday. Our server even brought her a birthday chocolate mousse with a candle to celebrate!!! So fun! I plan to be back later this month. Thank you!!!

    What a hidden gem in the city! This cool restaurant is in the old Emily Griffith Opportunity School that was built in the early 1900's. It's been converted into a hotel called Slate. I love the ambience and the meshing of old and new. I can still see remnants of the old school but with a modern vibe now. The food was awesome, and our wait staff was so friendly. Love this place! We'll be back.

    The food is always good here, but in the past, the service/timing has been pretty slow. Last night was very good. Our waiter was professional, prompt, efficient and friendly. Thanks!

    Not a lot of food choices and two of the three entrees were fairly bland. Cute idea for a theme but the server seemed to be a little out of it and overall it was just ok.
