   We lunched in the garden on a perfect summer day, sampling the perfectly cooked roasted salmon, the vegetable bowl and an excellent sandwich. Loved the complimentary and freshly made potato chips which arrived with drinks! Service was perfect; a great experience for my friends from San Francisco who enjoyed the collection and the very pleasant luncheon in a charming garden! Highly recommend making a stop at this delightful restaurant a part of The Barnes experience! Compliments to the Chef and the very professional and accommodating staff.

    Good service out on the patio. Lovely iced tea and complimentary chips. They were too good! Flavorful falafel sandwich. Tuna melt needed a bit more mayo.

    While small, the menu has something for everyone. The salmon was cooked to perfection, and the chicken Milanese was delicious as was the lemon olive oil cake. Although this was lunch, the portions were ample. Our server Cory was outstanding; helpful, efficient and charming. The atmosphere was perfect, with a lovely view, and, although practically full, the restaurant was quiet enough to have a pleasant conversation. Highly recommended.

    Very good food with perfect sized potions. Great presentation. Open kitchen environment which does not impact the dinning room ambience. There is also a lovely garden if you are interested in eating al fresco. Fabulous wait staff - polite, efficient, with a good sense of humor. We will return. Highly recommended.

    The outdoor seating was lovely. The salmon was exceptional and my husband enjoyed the falafel. Our waiter brought us glass of Prosecco because it was our anniversary which was much appreciated. The service was a bit slow but we were in no hurry. This was a delightful start to our visit at The Barnes.

    Our server, Lew, was great. The food was ok, but took a long time. We had a party of 8, so that could make a difference. The food is not kid friendly. The garden was beautiful & quiet and we enjoyed our time there. The Barnes Foundation was awesome!

    Meeting old friends we hadn’t seen in decades. The staff was friendly, cheerful and personable. The food was excellent, beyond my expectations. No one ever made us feel we were overstaying our welcome and we stayed a long time. The room was elegant and matched the ambiance of the Barnes Foundation museum. One wall was made of large windows that overlooked a shady, sheltered patio with outdoor dining, so lots of light. It was a lovely peaceful retreat from the bustle of the city.

    Although we had a reservation, upon arrival the hostess could not find it. I showed the confirmation email, (#25700). Surprising that she could not find our reservation. But she was able to accommodate us anyway, and the dining experience was terrific. Apparently it was operating at only one-half capacity. Short staff?

    The burger was outstanding as was the roasted cauliflower salad. There is a little something on the menu for everyone - vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian or carnivore. They have a limited, but nice, wine and beer selection. It is the perfect stop before or after a tour with one of the Barnes amazing docents, or to take a break before re-entering the Barnes Collection.

    We enjoyed the outside seating and were all very happy with our meals. My quinoa bowl was delicious. It was a little heavy on the dressing. I would have preferred my dressing on the side but forgot to ask.

    was out of food .. especially ice cream. surprising for mothers day. service was way too slow.. but friendly. just not a good showing . coffee served cold.. toast was cold by the time I got my sandwich.. loved the room and ambiance.. the food and service leaves much to be desired.. as we get out of the pandemic.. I understand things take time to pick up.. I am a member .. and want to keep coming to cafe.. but this was very disappointing food wise and selection wise.. the Rose was good, tho
