I expected cafeteria food, but it was a delicious meal. Not many options on the menu, but it doesn't matter because everything I saw looked good. Ginger molasses cookies were a tasty and light dessert.

Surprisingly good, if you have been to any kind of museum you know the restaurants attached normally produce overpriced mediocre food. Not Café G though, the food was incredibly tasty, it is a bit expensive for lunch at $20 a entree. If money isn't your concern and quality food is, your at the right place.

Great ambience and service. The chocolate budino was amazing— I should have ordered like five of those instead of a meal. Shrimp roll: Excellent bread but the filling is a tiny bit oversalted. Budino: Excellent Peaflower tea: Refreshing in the heat, beautiful indigo color and good.

What a cool cafe right in the museum. It’s so trendy and cool looking inside and the servers are all very attentive. The food was great and was way better than you would expect for a museum cafe, as were the drinks. Can’t wait to come back to enjoy the museum and this cafe again!

Excellent service, food and GF choices. Came in for lunch after Titian exhibit. The place is sleek, clean and menu is simple. I choose the gluten-free chicken soup, flourless chocolate cake and the server even suggested delicious panko covered chicken fingers for my daughters. We all left happy. Not cheap but well worth the menu price.
