we went to "Skool", for my birthday tea as had been many times previously and loved it. Sadly we were all really disappointed, I thought it was meant to be an Elegant restaurant,The staff were dressed in jeans,no effort ? There were 5 of us & we all thought our meals were Very average,its lost its name & wow factor.

Now called Skool, we arrived and were greeted by a great waiter of french origin. That gets a tick. Lovely decor and impressive Menu. Wine list is outstanding. As it is now under new management I wasn't quite sure as it was a birthday outing for a fusspot. Thanks Skool, all deliverd with ease and grace. Will return soon.

Our meals were delicious and the desserts amazing. The service was also very good. It was a stormy wet week night so not many people at all in the restaurant which meant the atmosphere was a little lacking, but I'm sure with more activity that would probably be different.

This restaurant is right at my back door in cosmopolitan Glenelg and yet I've never eaten here before. Why!!??? Honestly my husband and I had the most wonderful meal here tonight. The food was nothing short of spectacular, the service was warm and attentive but unpretentious and friendly. The atmosphere was very comfortable and relaxed enough for a romantic dinner.... More

I can't rave enough about this restaurant! Absolutely beautiful meals, amazing staff (who were also very welcoming to our children) and a great atmosphere. Loved it!

Second time around, and not the last, but the service will NEED to be improved for the restaurant to complement the fantastic food on offer. Reviewed the restaurant back in August 2011 and thought we'd try it again given that our first experience was relatively good. Arriving right on 7.00pm (our scheduled reservation), we asked if it would be ok... More
