    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.

    I am giving overall a 3 star. Went for their special valentine dinner and made a reservation a week in advance. Was seated in the bar area right next to a band playing jazz. Normally I would like this but it was too loud to have a conversation with my date. Actually had to turn down my hearing aids! But thankfully that only lasted about 20 minutes, which was the amount of time ( it felt like) for the waiter to even acknowledge us and take our drink order. We both got the special which consisted of a beet and goat cheese appetizer, filet Oscar, and a raspberry mousse for dessert. The app was pretty good if you like beets, the filet was ok, nothing special. It was served with those potatoes sticks you buy in a can. SMH! The dessert was good and the wine pairings were good as well. Love the concept and the history of the place, just overall an average place . The service made it worse imo.

    Service was incredibly slow. Took over 5 minutes just to be acknowledged at the check in stand. Took an unacceptable amount of time for drink and dinner orders. When the food finally came it was just okay. Was never asked if we wanted another round of drinks. Building is super fun but would not recommend the restaurant.

    Service and food was amazing. Menu is simple and small but what the do, they do great! A bit loud but that is to be expected with the traffic to rooms, open layout, and tile floors. Lovely hotel restaurant.

We appreciate your understanding of the noise from the open layout and traffic – it can get lively at times! We're thrilled you had a great experience, and we hope to welcome you back to our lovely restaurant soon!

    We have eaten here before we attend a speaker at Bellco. The food is excellent. My only complaint would be that it takes a long time to receive your food.

    The Teacher's Lounge has great food, friendly and very, very hard-working waitstaff and the SLOWEST kitchen on earth. We are trying our best to find another convenient location to have dinner, I'm sorry to say. It's just too frustrating when you have someplace else to be.

    This is a great place to eat prior to a show at the convention center, but make reservations early!

    So glad we found this place!! Great food and atmosphere. Had we not looked up places to eat and looked for it specifically, you would never know it was there in the old Emily Griffith school. I feel like they need to add a sign on the side so others know.
