We love the Field Museum, but both the Bistro (upstairs) and the Cafe (downstairs) are frustrating places to eat for us as vegetarians.
On our recent visit, we checked the online menu. We planned to order two Build Your Own salads for $14 each, to which we could add black beans, corn, and grated cheese for a good protein. Lunch would be $28 plus beverages.
Instead, we arrive and they don't offer ANY of the salads advertised on the website. We had to settle for two Summer Berry and Watermelon salads (with a little feta cheese) for $15 each and add a grilled cheese that we split (for $8). So instead of $28, our meal cost $38 and didn't provide the full protein we expected.

Please bring the corner bistro back. The menu had reliable dishes with consistent quality mandated by a...

Not in the mood for either of those, I chose the $11 pizza that looks absolutely nothing like the images they have on display there. It's arguably a generous portion size, but it's flat and barely sauced with its bland sauce. I've had better frozen pizzas for a $1.
My kids were happy with their plain hot dogs and my wife didn't mind her sandwich. The fruit cup my youngest picked out? There was a long dark hair in it. Sure, they let us exchange the cup for another one, but it wasn't so appetizing because of the experience.
Honestly? It's better to...
