    We arrived in Revelstoke after an 11 hr drive through the snow from Vancouver, and were fortunate to find this warm and welcoming eatery! We didn’t have a reservation, but there was room for us at the bar (the place was packed- if you can, make a reservation) the bartender whipped up some excellent cocktails, and all the food we ordered was tasty and unique- definitely not standard pub fare.

    We spent the night in Revelstoke and were looking for a unique place for supper. The old school eatery surpassed our expectations. The old school building has amazing heritage. There’s lots of old photos to see and imagine who passed through the doors and classrooms. Everything has been so nicely renovated and the high ceilings. allow lots of light into the restaurant. The food is absolutely incredible. There are so many unique flavours and combinations. Our mouths were dancing with delight. Absolutely five stars and highly recommended.

    Neat ambience and building, didn’t have a reservation (Tuesday 6.30pm) but were seated at the bar. Pretty good comfort food, shared a chicken parm and a side salad. The salad dressing was tad on the sweet side. No other complaints.

    We visited on the May long weekend. Great vibe and the menu is awesome. I wanted to try everything on the menu! Settled for sharing several appetizers, all of them were delicious. Great selection of drinks, especially cocktails for those inclined. Good beer selection too. Family friendly and the kids loved their meals.

    Gracious hostess greeted us on arrival. Very energetic and knowledgeable server. Nice high end casual place. It’s never too late to go back to school!

    Came in on a monday evening without a reservation and the server found a table for us. Drinks came fast, food as well. We shared Bao Buns as appetizer, then the Poke Bowl with salmon and the Old School Burger as mains and the chocolate torte as dessert. The food was spectacular, taste as well as looks just on point. Other dishes came past our table and everything looked so good! Service was super friendly and fast as well, I can not recommend this restaurant enough!

    Absolutely fantastic all around. Drove by here on our first night in Revelstoke and remembered to check this out on our way back home. Such a cool setting with this (and a spa) taking over for an old school. Renovated nicely, the service and food was excellent. Wide variety of food, we hoped for something lighter and were thrilled with the soba salads we got. Cocktail was very nice as well, prices for both food and drinks are very fair. Will definitely drop by whenever we're in town.

    Not an intimate dining experience but more of a bar or pub feel. Our waitress from the UK was excellent but the large manager woman was rude. Salad was very good and decent wine list. Entree of bison osobuco was terrible, dry and tough.Waitress was apologetic and took it off the bill. I would not recommend this place.

    Stayed in Revelstoke for a night. Went for a dinner to Old School Eatery. A little bit of a wait and we got our food and drinks served. Simply delicious! Love the atmosphere. Server did great with serving the many people that were there.

    If you’re reading this and wondering if you should eat here, just do it! The food, service and atmosphere were all incredible. I wish I could have tried the entire menu. The menu is unique and has lots of GF options. Drinks were cold and refreshing. Servers were friendly and accommodating. We were lucky to stumble upon this gem while travelling. Can’t wait to get back to Revelstoke to come here again!

    From the outside I wouldn't have expected a restaurant in the building, but GMaps pointed us straight here. The menu reads like a collection of different dishes from around the world. It suited us because we all found something. The service was super friendly and also explained some things to us where we were lost in translations. The food tasted great and each of us was satisfied. If we're ever in the area again, we'd love to come back.

    The Crispy Brussel Sprouts starter and the Cheese Cake were really good. The Old School Eatery impressed, both the food and the location. My only negative comment would be I wished there were a few more options on the menu.

    Amazing food!!! They should have a branch in the lower mainland because it's just AMAZING! I even asked if the chef was a celebrity chef. Our server, Frances, was super friendly too

    Here’s a place to try when in Revelstoke. Located in an old school down by the river - this establishment is great for all ages as the menu has something for all ages. From Osso buco to a burger and fries.

    Amazing place with great food, great drinks, and great service! This is a must-visit for those driving from Calgary to Vancouver. Also love the way they re-used the former school building; and was surprised to be in a space with very high ceilings. A nice touch is that the restaurant invested in laying-out noise-dampening acoustic panels on these ceilings so it isn't as echo-ey like most other restaurants. Overally great place!

    TLDR: Amazing ambience, delicious food, good service. We, party of three, came on New Year’s Eve. We had called around 30 minutes prior to our planned arrival time, at around 5:30pm. The hostess found us a table for three, but we would have to vacate by 7:30pm. That was fine by us, so we took it up. Upon walking into an old school building, the restaurant is directly on the right. Inside, the environment closely resembled that of a school classroom; for example, the floor was tiled. I quite liked the classy incorporation of old-school elements into a modern, cozy restaurant. The hostess and our waitress were superb. They were friendly, had big smiles on their faces, and looked like they wanted to be there. Unfortunately, they were also quite busy, so some of our attempts to attract their attention went unfounded, and when we did manage to request a pair of chopsticks for the Laksa we ordered, the waitress said sure, disappeared, and never returned with said chopsticks. We ordered the Crispy Brussel Sprouts as an appetizer, and the Chicken Laksa, Linguine Verdura, and Bison Osso Buco as our entrees. Our waitress informed us that instead of bison for the latter dish, they only had elk. That was fine by us. The brussel sprouts came fried to a crispy, melt-in-you-mouth texture, topped with a balsamic drizzle, pomegranate seeds, and some sort of pumpkin or sunflower seeds. It was delicious, though I think they could’ve gone a little lighter on the vinaigrette; the tartness was overpowering. The Linguine Verdura was fantastic. The marinara sauce was just the right combination of sweet, tangy, and salty. The noodles were delectable. The vegetables fit into the dish very well. The Laksa was delicious. The broth resembled a Thai green curry but watered down a little more. The vermicelli noodles were cooked well, and the shrimp were tender. The elk was good, but a little underwhelming. The meat wasn’t super tender and instead a little tough, something I shouldn’t be overcritical of since I almost never eat elk. The sauce and mashed potatoes were good, though. We finished the night with a slice of their Nutella cheesecake. This was amazing; rich, creamy, and sweet. The Nutella was present but not overpowering the taste of a classic cheesecake. It was topped with a berry compote of some sort and a dollop of whipped cream. Overall I would definitely recommend this fabulous spot and look forward to visiting again the next time we are in Revelstoke.

    We came here for dinner the other night and first off it was a lot higher class than I expected, however there is still no dress code, as most people were still in their ski attire. I got the bison and it was superb. Very tender and our waitress was very kind and attended to us quickly. It is pricey food but the flavors are really good.

    We showed up right at opening and it filled up very fast, definitely recommend booking ahead. The service was incredible! We had our 2yr old with us and the staff had a booster seat coming to meet us at the table. Once we ordered they then asked if we wanted to rush out our daughters food first; very accommodating! The food was incredible, the drinks were great. Really great place!

    Great historical place. It's actually former school building. Be ready to catch the smell of old brick building. Nice menu,great beer. I highly recommend the calamari appetizer.

    The best burger I've had in a long time! Gluten-free bun was awesome too - great texture. The school-turned-restaurant/distillery is so cool... definitely recommend checking it out for the atmosphere and the incredible menu.
