   Visited for a birthday lunch while visiting the Meuse. Very friendly hostess who accommodated us early. Drink menu was good. We had the Texas Mimosa which has Deep Eddys Ruby Red vodka, Prosecco and orange juice. Yummy!! The corn soup very good with a little Bite to it. I had the lump crap salad which was just the right portion and husband had a grilled chicken sandwich that was huge and served with sweet potato fries. Skipped dessert. Service was good, our server was a bit dry, didn’t speak much which was a bit strange but maybe he was having a bad day.

    The perfect place for lunch with a first time visitor to Dallas in a very cold day. We, along we her son, arrived towards the end of the lunch service but never felt rushed. Soup and the salmon entree were delicious and we finished with coffee.

    While the lunch food, ambience, and service were fine; there is not a chance that we are coming back when the restaurant won’t validate the parking ticket!! Paying $8-10 for parking, after paying for lunch, was ridiculous and unacceptable!! 2 others who dined with me agree wholeheartedly!

    The overall experience was good. Our waiter forgot about us and we sat without being able to order our food for about 20 minutes, so my co-worker had to flag down the manager to take our order. Other than that, it was a great experience.

    Cafe 43 is located in the Bush Presidential Library, so the location was perfect for our visit to the library. A good friend that lives close to the SMU campus recommended Cafe 43 and it was great advice. Our meal was excellent and the staff was very professional.

    Cafe 43 is a wonderful spot for lunch with or without a visit to the Bush Museum. Sit on the terrace if it is a nice day. The location is peaceful and the landscaping is very pretty. The menu is small and mostly focused on "lunch" items of sandwiches and salads; although, it does have a few other choices. The Cowboy Cookies are a must-try if you like cookies. The staff is very accommodating. Note: parking is $5 in the designated parking lot across from the museum, even if you are a member of the museum. The surrounding parking lots and garages are also pay-to-park. No valet parking or street parking.

    It is a beautiful room, the food was good, and we all had a great time. One thing you might consider is shades or curtains. As our lunch progressed, some of us had the sun in our eyes. It would have been good to be able to adjust curtains to avoid this.

    Lovely setting as part of the George W. Bush Presidential Center. Staff very welcoming and well-trained for excellent service. The dining space could get noisy when filled with customers. We were the first to arrive. Food was very good, except the lump crab salad was minced, not lump and tasted a bit "fishy".
