Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Teachers' Lounge Food + Drink offers a unique dining experience within The Slate Hotel's lobby, praised for its "great food," "amazing service," and lively atmosphere. While dishes like the lamb French dip and cocktails receive high marks, some guests note a slower kitchen pace. Ideal for pre-show dining near DCPA.

    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.

    We had great service and the food was really good. The space is in the hotel lobby. The hotel is beautiful. But the restaurant is kind of boring. The furniture is nice but blah.

    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.

    Live band was a nice touch. A quaint hotel restaurant with a solid vibe for socializing and a limited menu for foodies.

    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 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.
