The best italian espresso I have tasted in the US so far. Congrats, Museum Café!! 😋

The grill staff might give you a little sass, but overall the location is clean and modern. The grilled chicken sandwich I ordered was good, albeit pricier that going outside. It's a trade off between grabbing a quick bite to eat and leaving the museum for a couple of hours. Realistically, if you want to see as much of the museum as possible you would bring a lunch or eat here at the cafe.

Pleasantly surprised for museum food.

Visited in the last month. Much improved! Thank you!
Management issues or budget cuts? On a Saturday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. stopped in for lunch....it took a 20 to 25 minute standing in line wait time to order 2 burgers and one quarter inch chicken breast sandwich. Not sure what the problem is other than management issues or budget cuts. We have been museum members for several years, but will not be ordering from the grill again. Terzo Piano may be an alternative, otherwise there are many other choices we will make for lunch. We rarely post negative reviews, but this one begged to be written!

The art institute cafe is a wonderful treasure. Free ice cold water..save money on the bottles. Food is made with fresh ingredients; grill items made to order. Options for vegetarians and pizza lovers. As well as pick up and go sandwiches. Go to a restaurant on Michigan Ave and you will pay more with less quality. I had the best cupcake ever here. Enjoy a cocktail or smoothie at the bar

A good spot for every type of food in a casual setting. Including wine and hot food. For more elegant go to the restuarant in the piana terzo section

Definitely pricy but to be expected. It's museum food. The quality makes up for it though. A solid choice for a quick snack while seeing what the museum has to offer. The lack of polar bears was also a plus.
