Valentines Day Menu - APHRODISIACS 101

2012-02-10 23:11:17

Nothing sets the mood on Valentine's Day like a menu packed with Aphrodisiac dishes in a romantic candle-lit restaurant. We invite you to spice up your Valentine's Day plans at SCHOOL with a three-course dinner, specially designed by our Executive Chef Brad Moore for a unique dining experience for you and your Valentine.

The meal will begin with a glass of Prosecco followed by our Grilled Guajillo Prawns with Avocado, Arugula and Lime. The main dish is a Pumpkinseed crusted Salmon with Spiced Mango and Crispy Cassava and is finished with a delicious Carrot Toffee Pudding with Cinnamon Cream dessert.

If this isn't already making your mouth water, wait till you understand the power these ingredients have to fire up your night:

Guajillo Chilies- intense heat sends pain signals to your brain releasing endorphins which can create an extreme sense of pleasure, not to mention the swelling effects on the lips.

Mango - known as the Love Fruit, has been considered a natural Viagra. Recommended by the Kama Sutra, enough said.

Pumpkin Seed - packed with nutrient essentials to get things started, the scent of pumpkins has been said to be one of the most arousing for men.

Ginger - has the ability to increase circulation and sensitivity below the belt.

Cinnamon - useful for producing heat within the body, it'll up your physical and sexual appetite too.

Our three-course Valentine's Day menu is available for $40 a person, but guests are welcome to order from our regular menu if they prefer.

Happy Valentine's Day

Intimate, personable weddings at SCHOOL

2012-01-13 18:51:09

It's that time of year when couples are starting to look at wedding venues after getting engaged on Christmas, New Years, or who knows...maybe on Valentines Day.  The tricky part is finding a venue that suits your personality, style, and budget.  SCHOOL has been quite the venue for all parties depending on what their needs are.  The nice part, is that we don't book up two years in advance because we're not that type of place.  Planning a wedding is seamless as we are the 'wal-mart' of venues where you can enjoy your ceremony, your dinner or cocktail style reception, and have beautiful pictures taken in front of the mural wall and in the historical Liberty Village.  It's an easy step to start inquiring, just fill out the 'book an event' tab to get started.  

Santa is Gone for Another Year?

2011-12-29 15:00:41

Another Christmas passes and we all prep for the new year ahead.  Looking for New Year Resolutions? Ours is to work on shortening the wait time for brunch (...If only we had a larger restaurant) and to increase popularity of our dinner service because it's just as spectacular as brunch! If you're looking to join us for dinner, or you were lucky enough to score a 2 can dine card of boxing day call to book a reservation for next week.  We are closed this week for dinner service so people can eat up their turkey leftovers (anyone tried turkey stew with leftovers? Nom Nom).  Looking forward to seeing you all on New Years Day BRUNCH!!!!

Holiday...Celebrate...

2011-11-08 20:21:47

Do you remember going back to school after an amazing summer and dreading the attendance role of your new teacher in every class one hour after another?  You knew that once Thanksgiving hit that you were at least in the home stretch for Christmas holidays...half way there. News flash, it's November 8th.  We are now one month away from December.  Our new stresses as adults are getting through deadlines, attempting Christmas shopping and winterizing your car, your feet, and your head. Regardless, Christmas season is upon us and it's time to get in the mood whether you like it or not.  We love the holidays here at the restaurant as we become quite the little hot spot for holidays parties.  With two rooms, School hosts a great party whether you want to have a nice sit down meal, or space to dance the night away.  More information can be found on our event tab where you can look at pictures of the space, fill out your event request form, and watch your event fall into place. Don't let this time of year bring stress to you or others around you.  Take the time to let loose and enjoy the holiday cheer. Happy Pre-Holidays from the SCHOOL Faculty      

We're Closed Thanksgiving Monday

2011-10-06 20:02:31

We'll be closed this coming Monday so our staff can enjoy a day with their families, filling their bellies with turkey and pumpkin pie...oh my!

What?! School's hosting ANOTHER free BBQ

2011-07-14 14:58:30

How many times have I come home from an unremarkable day, only to find my wallet empty with nothing to show for it in return?   With that in mind, when I heard School was offering a free BBQ, I had to ask, what's the catch? School is in fact hosting a free BBQ from 5-8pm on July 13, and from what I can see, there’s no fine print; it’s just FREE food, quality food, for me and you to share with one another, on a great patio, after work, tomorrow. Argh, did I mention it’s sold-out?  Er, should I say, given-out? On Monday morning, tickets were snatched up faster than free slushies, on a steamy Toronto afternoon.  And if I haven’t used the word FREE enough in this blog post, what’s more, School is raffling off free round-trip airfare to NYC, and a free set of Jays tickets.  If you’ve been wondering about the purpose of twitter and why you should bother with it, the tickets were given-out to the first 75 responders on twitter @schoolville.

Cheese, Please! A Cheese School Review by @FoodieYu

2011-03-11 20:47:08

Our favourite foodie blogger @foodieyu was present for Cheese School and took a lot of notes. If you haven't heard, Cheese School is a celebration. It's a celebration catered to the cheese lovers, the cheese enthusiasts, and the cheese snobs. It's an ode to our mouthwatering fascination with cheese. And it's every Wednesday. On March 2nd, @reggieramone and @clickflickca co-hosted the first official tweetup at School during Cheese School (appropriately hashtagged #CheeseSchool). You can read about @foodieyu's experience on her blog. Read about Cheese School on the Food Junkie Chronicles

Brad's Recipe Lab: Spiced Grapefruit Crepes with Cream Cheese

2011-03-11 20:10:43

If it's one thing our guests learned from Cheese School, it's that cream cheese and crepes are a match made in heaven. While the cheese menu crepes included brie and bacon, this variation with grapefruit adds a bit of sweet with sour and a sprinkle of cinnamon to top off. This month, Brad introduces one of his old favourites: Spiced Grapefruit Crepes with Cream Cheese. Stop by the Recipe Lab and give it a whirl. We want to know how yours came out! Get the recipe!
