    This is a hotel lobby. It is not a restaurant. If you are looking for a dining experience - this is not it.

    DO NOT EAT HERE for Thanksgiving or any holiday function. My husband and I ate here for our Thanksgiving meal and we were very disappointed with the food and service we received. Our chicken pot pie soup was cold as well as our turkey and gravy entree. The only meal we received that was warm was our dessert that we ordered to go because it took 30 minutes for it to be prepared. Our waitress recognized the service we received and did comp our drinks. If you really want a nice, quality, holiday dinner, do not eat here. 
    Teachers’ Lounge Food + DrinkResponded on December 4, 2024
    Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the experience you had during your Thanksgiving meal. We deeply regret that the food and service didn’t meet your expectations. This is certainly not the standard we strive for, especially on such an important holiday. We're grateful that your waitress took steps to make things right by comping your drinks, but we understand that it didn't make up for the overall experience. We take your comments seriously and will be addressing these issues with our team to ensure improvements are made. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.

    The food was excellent and so were the cocktails! The little details that show how the space was once a school are exciting, from the menus to the names of the cocktails to the fact that they retained so many classic components of the school make the space really exciting!

    This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Located in the old “Emily Griffith School“ building which is now the Slate Hotel. Breakfast was excellent!
