Took an out of town friend to see the museum and to have lunch. The grilled cheese and mushroom with rice soup were very good. The server had a lot of tables but was friendly Would highly suggest you make reservations as they only have a few tables and people we’re having to wait

Our server wasn’t great but the food was phenomenal. Pretzels were delicious and the loaded skins were very tasty. The chicken sandwich tossed in hot honey was very good. The broccoli has a very good flavor. The loaded cheese fries were great to me but my husband thought it was too much. My daughter really enjoyed the salmon and Mac and cheese. My husband said the manhattan was different than any he’s ever had but he really enjoyed it.
