Our table ordered 2 of the pork belly eggs Benedict and the omelet. The breakfast potatoes served with all three were fantastic. However, the eggs Benedict were cold-both the eggs and pork belly. Our server was wonderful but the restaurant was slow to get the food out and all the servers had too many tables. This was our second time dining here and based on this experience we are likely to not return on Sunday during brunch.

My birthday was a wonderful one this year as we enjoyed our beautiful view with the most exciting and delicious food. Patrons and guests really thrust yourself into the imaginative atmosphere and art collection. Finally please support your local museums with membership or donations. Kindly, Ann Marie

Love this place! The food is great, service very friendly and the outdoor patio was perfect for lunch on a nice afternoon. This is our place to go when we're visiting the museum district

We've had both brunch and dinner here great ambience. The food we've had was also great! Unique date night spot for sure since you can also visit the museum before. Service is more relaxed so if you're in a rush just fyi

Husband and I went for Sunday brunch. We got to sit by the water and watch the ducks. The surroundings were peaceful and calm, as you would expect for a museum cafe, with light music in the background. The food was delicious. We ordered the burger and the chilequiles and told our server that we like to share plates. She brought out our food cut in half on separate plates. In all the years we've been sharing, no one has ever done that before. I was delighted at the thoughtfulness and enjoyed the delicious meal in the beautiful atmosphere. Then we walked the museum.Kid-friendliness: Lots of families there, big tables for large parties.

I went for Sunday brunch and was immensely impressed! Service was impeccable and the food was absolutely decadent! It was unclear on the menu that the Korean fried chicken came with waffles, but I was so pleasantly surprised with the best chicken and waffles I've ever had in life. I also ordered the salad which was light and delicious. My companion ordered the burger and said that it was really good as well. I also like that they serve Acqua Panna which, in my opinion, is the best water, lol :) It was a calm and quiet atmosphere. We sat by the window with a nice view of the water. The icing on the cake was the fact that the museum had free entry on that day, so we were able to walk around and take pictures after our meal. It was a great brunch experience that I highly recommend and would absolutely do again!

We had a delicious brunch! Would have been sweeter if our server had acknowledged the birthdays we noted in our reservation, but we understand they were busy, and we still enjoyed our visit and meal.

Chef Jett & team always knock it out if the park! Unique, delicious dishes, plated beautifully by wonderfully pleasant staff. Very much enjoyed introducing my girlfriend to a place I've enjoyed many times as a solo patron at the bar & of course we had to visit the wonderful exhibits afterwards. 10/10 visit every time!

The food was phenomenal; they have a great selection of vegetarian/pescatarian items. Our server was very attentive and kind. We sat by the window so we had a water view which was lovely! The interior of the restaurant is kind of drab, but the food makes up for that ten fold!

God, please help me quit thinking about the naan on the Mezze Platter (fluffy, bubbly, chewy, buttery, superb) = one hour on the treadmill and dang worth it. Loved the Fennel Quinoa salad. The Grind Burger is the best burger in FW (don't ask for ketchup). Frangipane Tart was great (what was that awesome herb in the coconut sorbet?) Delicious, surprising flavors, great service, fabulous space.

Service was bad. Waitress tried saying she was super busy but they weren't. Everytime I saw her she was chatting with people (not her tables). We also came during lunch and the restaurant was at half capacity with several waitresses working. Took her 30 mins just to get our drinks to the table. Pretty irritating.
