★★★★☆ 4.0 Brysen Kawamura · Mar 2020

Lovely cafe with scenic lake views located in the basement of the art museum. This place is a must try during your visit. They have a nice selection of options, but expect to pay higher than normal prices compared to other places. The food came promptly and the staff were friendly and inviting. We were pleased with our choices. The meal came with bread for starters. We got the smoky-dokie burger with chips, I recommend this to try. We ended our meal with the matcha cake special, which was covered with white chocolate. The dessert was a little too sweet for our liking and a little too dense, but it was beautifully plated.

Beautiful location but they have now devolved into a grab and go establishment, with the exception of barista made drinks. All the food is pre-made and served in single use plastic containers and utensils. So disappointing. So wasteful. Do better MAM!

★★★★★ 5.0 Tommy Grady · Feb 2026

The food is absolutely delicious the views are breathtaking. This will definitely be one of my new go to spots!

★★★★★ 5.0 Andy Ansryan · Jun 2019

Great place to grab lunch or early dinner. The kids menu items are all $5. For adults they have a selection of steak, fish, and salads. The view of the lake is a cool experience while eating.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Audrey Schmook · Jul 2018

Delicious food, spectacular view! Prices are a little high, but what you’d expect at an art museum. Paying for the view but worth it! I had the avocado grilled cheese which has a scrumptious garlic spread and the aperol spritz, a refreshing prosecco cocktail. Meals come with their house made focaccia with olive oil.
