All five of my friends loved their lunch from the delicious cauliflower veloute soup to the large charcuterie selection and the fresh ricotta cheese with toppings of mushrooms and onions on toast and finally to the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. We highly recommend the lunch and will return soon.

The quality of the food was excellent. We ordered a board- and it relies on the quality of the ingredients. - it was up to the task. And we shared a smash burger. It was also excellent. Our server, Al, was warm and professional. She kept her eye on us and was there if we needed anything at all. A really nice experience!

I was so happy they have vegan options, which the museum has been unreliable about in the past. The menu was clearly labeled (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc.). The cauliflower curry soup was especially good, and a tofu option to add to the salads was appreciated.
