My husband and I both had the Chicken Parmesan. The waitress said it was her favorite thing on the menu. It was outstanding! Easily the best chicken parm either of us had ever had. Chili oil on the fettuccine made it slightly spicy (but not...too much), chicken was cooked perfectly with an amazing crust on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The layers of cheese as well as pesto sauce and marinara sauce was excellent! We had so much we had to take the rest home and had it for dinner the next night…still delicious!! We didn’t have the steak, but saw it delivered to several others around us and it looked incredible as well. If only we were in Revelstoke longer!More

One of the most enjoyable meals we have had in awhile! Delicious food, lovely Syrah, engaging busy bartender/server, Nick. First time there and even without reservations waited just 20 minutes for seats at the bar. Highly recommend!

Thank you Jennifer E for the great review!

A very good dining experience. As the name suggests it is actually in what was once, and still looks the part, a public school with all its quirkiness. Among the handful of top fine-dining choices in Revelstoke this is probably the most reasonably priced, perhaps...because it is not "downtown". In a city as small as Revelstoke though that is hardly a problem. Our food was very good indeed. If you want a burger that truly tastes like a burger, created from scratch with care and imagination this is the place, though fancier options certainly exist. If we had a hesitation in our enthusiasm it had to do with service. Yes it was fairly prompt and accurate. But we had the real impression that two distinct types of service were in evidence. One for regulars/friends of the owners and one for the rest of us. It gave us a feeling on being second-tier.More

Amazing! Great variety and incredible flavours. The squid was incredible (and polenta fries a great accompaniment), and the mains so filling: steak perfectly cooked, poke bowl came with incredible amounts of lovely salmon, and even the Thai soba noodle salad was huge. We all came...home in a food coma! Definitely no need for dessert. Servers were lovely - attentive but not intrusive. Overall a great evening.More

Dinner after our arrival in Revelstoke, which was our overnight stop on the way to Banff/Calgary. So glad we stopped in the charming ski town. Dinner here was fantastic and my eggplant parmesan was literally the best I've ever eaten. Make reservations ahead of time....They get crowded.More

Great atmosphere. I selected grilled chicken burger and it was delicious. The Korean sauce on the side was delicious and should be bottled. I chose house salad as a side and dressing was very good. Dessert was Miso salty caramel cheese cake. It was delicious....I will return.More

This place has only been open a few years but we have eaten there every time we've visited Revelstoke since 2019. Its really easy to get to and has its own car park. The restaurant forms part of an old converted school house so you...get that "school house" vibe from the interior design which is really stylish and classy (great bathrooms too!). The menu is fabulous, highly recommend the pork bau buns as a starter and the laksa. Limited selection of wines by the glass but what I had was perfectly acceptable but really, it is the cocktails that are the showpiece in my view. staff are friendly and efficient. Casual dress code; we went in with snow boots and beanie hats and didn't look out of place. This place is just cool...go there...you won't be disappointed!More
