   Wait staff was pleasant and attentive, but asked for salad to be chopped and for light dressing - and she wrote it down. Salad was not chopped and was both unremarkable and was drenched in dressing

   For Sunday brunch, the granola and beignets were very good. But the plate of eggs, bacon (one piece) and potatoes (2 burnt pieces) was pathetic at that price. The service was excellent.

   The dinner menu is sparse. We had the sunflower hummus which was highly suggested…just okay. My partner had the Bavette Steak…his review was that it was not very good. I had the Butternut Squash entree and it was as if some leftovers were put together and served. Our server was lovely but our food experience will not bring us back.

   The decoration is contemporary, made me feel that the cafe was a perfect extension of the museum. The coffee was outstanding, light roast, flavorful. The food was okay, nothing to brag about. I had the tofu scramble. I like they kept the tofu cubed instead of crumbling it. The smashed potatoes it came with were a little over fried. Overall, this was a positive experience and I will be back. Our server was great also, kind, attentive.

   Our reservation that was confirmed THREE times. But restaurant was closed on that day. I contacted them. They did not have the decency to respond. Reflects very poor management and lack of attention to details Wonder what goes on in their kitchen!

   Marisol at the MCAResponded on November 11, 2022My apologies for the inconvenience. There was a glitch with OpenTable which whom I contacted and had the system corrected. Yes, both the Museum and the restaurant is closed to the public on Mondays. I am sorry that you had wasted your time in your attempt to dine with us. I would like to personally invite you in for lunch during our normal hours of operation and completely take care of the bill to compensate for your frustration. My apologies again, Kyle Grodzki

   I was somewhat hoping the space would be nicer...especially being inside the MCA. It would be good casual spot for tourists, but not for a birthday brunch or any other special occasion.

    Just love the creative flavors in every dish. It’s a beautiful space to enjoy a wonderful meal in. As a former resident of Nola, the beignets are the closest to any we’ve had in Louisiana. Also hoping the Lula Cafe Mushroom Walnut Bolognese pops up on the menu.

    Was very disappointed with how the event was planned. Felt like I was attending a timeshare with really good food. Went to maple & ash for the same price and received excellent service. The marketer for the tequila made the dinner feel like all they wanted was for me to buy a bottle. A person should have been hired to share the facts about dia de Los Muertos in a way that was exciting to listen to and not boring. I also would have appreciated more space between me and the people talking. I felt like my food was being spit on every meal

    We loved loved loved the food and the space! The crispy potatoes seem impossibly crispy on the outside and perfect on the inside. The sausage was such high quality meat and perfecly spiced. We had the best made macchiatos as well. It was a special weekend with guest chefs for the entrees, but both were do delicious. Great service, and couldn't believe two of us ordered more than we could finish for under $50. We will definitely be back.

    Very good service-one dinner did not enjoy the special fries and they did not want to charge for them even though we did say it was OK to do so. Rest of our party of four enjoyed our choices and the service was great. I enjoy the ambience and will return as I always have.

    We went for brunch and the menu has several interesting choices. Brunch can be so same-ole. This menu is different. Wine was a bit slow being delivered to the table but there were interesting choices there too including several wines on tap. I love to recommend this restaurant to others.
