Carnegie Cafe

i’ve eaten here 3x over the last year and now making it a point to visit more often. my recent brunch was fantastic. the servers have always been great and the options are unique while still including standard dishes. their outdoor seating is now open, near the outdoor water/fountain. most/all of that time you won’t be in direct sunlight. i love visiting museum and adding the cafe for a snack or meal. 🤗

2023 Update: Cafe was packed at lunch on a Friday, we needed to make a reservation! We did and they seated us later that day. Food was delicious. Service was attentive and professional. I would be able to take my kids here, but also meet adults for a nice lunch and drinks. The club sandwich was solid. The Bahn Mi was open faced, which was a surprise. Updated decor and menu experience. All very pleasant and cushy. I plan to return, and you should, too! 2015 Review: Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but I really enjoy the menu at the museum cafe. They do a great job! The decor of the space is a bit dated but the food is great - better than the expected freezer-to-deep-fyer stuff I see in add-on eateries (food places secondarily attached to a main event). I do wish they offered a full menu during their weekly evening hours. If they did, I would be much more inclined to bring my family to the museum for dinner and enjoy a nice evening afterwards roaming the galleries. The nearby Phipps Conservatory does this.
