“Didn’t really know what to expect from a fine dining restaurant inside of a museum, but this hit well for brunch. Everything was excellent and the staff was friendly.”
“Went for the first dinner seating of a Friday night for my teen daughters birthdays. Service was attentive and food was delightful. The birthday was acknowledged gracefully with a chocolate bar on her dessert saying happy birthday. As we were wrapping up a musical duet was warming up to perform for the evening patrons. They were great! We had walked the museum for the day and went to dinner in jeans & blouses. I felt we were underdressed for dinner compared to other patrons .”
“Upon entering you are met with a wall of windows overlooking a park and architectural gems in the background. The crisp white table linens lend an air of sophistication. The service was top notch. I ordered the Benedict which was on delicious SWEET POTATO biscuits, topped with tasty shaved ham, 2 of the most perfectly poached eggs, and creamy brown butter Hollandaise. I opted to swap the salad for breakfast potatoes which were crispy and the outside and fluffy inside. Accompanied by a crisp fresh mimosa with a candied orange wheel this outstanding brunch gets a 10 out of 10. Can’t wait to return!”
