I stopped in here today for a late lunch after a lovely stroll to the lake. I arrived just a few minutes before closing time and they had sold out of the soup of the day (that's a good thing) so I ordered the Brie and Apple Panini. The sandwich was very good. Nice and toasted/crispy panini with gooey brie on green apples with carmelized onions and spinach. I am not going to lie: I daydreamed about having a thin slice of prosciutto in the mix but it was a terrific vegetarian sandwich. It was served with homemade chips that were delish. I could have subbed a salad or fries for a small fee if I so desired. Great location. Nice and clean. Fresh baked goodies available. I checked out the museum store while I waited for my food. I would go back and recommend it for lunch if you're near by. If you find this review helpful please hit LIKE....

The fries were left overs sitting for a long time. They are usually very good but not when they are cold. They are totally going down in their food quality such a shame when they were the best in...
