Terrace Cafe

A wonderful sunny, open and pleasant room and patio overlooking the art museum courtyard. Ambitious menu of interesting sandwiches and salads. My wife had the club sandwich and I had the Mixto (variation on ham and cheese), both with an excellent side salad. We were there at a very busy time, with several large groups in the restaurant, and every other table taken, so service took longer and was less frequent than I'm sure is usual. We weren't in a hurry, so it wasn't a big problem, but it took a long time to get our food and even longer to get the check.

Beautiful atmosphere. The prices were giving "farm-to-table" but the food was giving "Sysco". My tomato soup was a prime example of this. Bland and tasted like an exact copy of the Sysco frozen tomato and basil soup. My partners sandwich had the same vibe. There are a lot of places to eat near the museum, go to one of those instead before/ after visiting the CAM. Servers were friendly enough. Gorgeous art on the walls.

April 2023 review....Remains an excellent restaurant with exceptional service. Great place to share veggie burgers, various sandwiches, salads, tea, coffee, or dessert. Good place to take a break when you are visiting the museum! Nice views. Outdoor seating available. 2017 review....Great food, excellent service, relaxing beautiful atmosphere....view onto courtyard was awesome!

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and decided to take myself to lunch at one of my favorite places. I like to visit the musuem for music inspiration when I can but today I needed a big pick me up. My dining experience truly transformed my day. I sat at a table facing the beautiful statues and terrace garden. The weather was perfect. The host was very kind and accommodating considering I arrived a bit after 11am as a walk in and it looked like a great deal of reservations were set to arrive. Nevertheless, he sat me at a great table. My server -- Matthew -- was a true treat. Attentive and kind even as service picked up. I had the chicken sandwich with fresh fruit, hot tea and a glass of rose. The sandwich was AMAZING. The bread it was served on was to die for, not too crunchy or hard but a great balance of crips and soft. The chicken salad was flavorful. Such a simple but amazing lunch! I was also able to work outdoors in a beautiful environment, birds and bees buzzing into the new season. Thanks for a great dining experience and a peaceful moment to re-align my energy. I'll be back for sure.

Today we had a great experience here. We split a cinnamon roll and it was wonderful. The waitress suggested it— love when they like a product enough to do that. I had a club sandwich and he had chicken salad and both we were good, fresh, and flavorful. Honestly everything was good today. I only dropped a star as there were a few dirty areas. Great view - love the courtyard. Flavorful and fresh food. Limited options but they are good options. Loved our friendly waitress… Emma i believe. Oh and the coffee is really good… like —plan on an extra cup -kind of good. Also, I love that the prices are reasonable. I never feel ripped off here and obviously it’s wonderful to view the art of the museum.
