Nature's Table at Cook Museum of Natural Science

The food is great…when you can get it. I checked the hours on Google—restaurant closes at 5. Perfect, at it was 3:10 and I had a 25 minute drive to arrive. Went to counter at 3:35 and started my order. “We don’t sell food after 3.” This is a restaurant. That is open until 5. That stops selling food at 3. In all seriousness, I was truly bumfuzzled and asked what did they sell after 3. Smoothies, in case you’re wondering.
I’ll go back because there are so few restaurants in our area that serve healthy food. Hopefully I’ll arrive earlier in the future…to the open restaurant that doesn’t sell food.

Although the food is delicious, they’re constantly getting my order wrong. It almost feels intentional. They recently increased the prices but I don’t mind. I only wish the kitchen staff were more accustomed to dealing all races. Majority of staff and customers are white so I feel other ethnicities tend to make them uncomfortable; customers included. I feel my presence is unwanted when I enter but continue to remain a loyal customer. Hopefully their tolerance increases.

The food is fresh as it's name suggests. Meat is not lunch meat but rather roasted breast. The kids meals are always a hit with my toddlers, they love getting to make choices. Everything I've tried has been good but my favorites are the sandwiches and acai bowls. The restaurant is kept very clean like the rest of the museum. Staff is always kind, patient, and friendly.

Didn't know this place existed until we had it for a work function. I have been going back often ever since. I'm not big on fast food, so this place is my go-to lunch spot. One of these days, I will take time to explore the museum. I love the chicken ceaser wrap with tomato basil soup.

Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian chili, I have yet to try, but it looks good.

Kid-friendliness: I've seen lots of children in here.

I was really glad to see the clean menu (healthy meals) at the museum. I got the cranberry toasted sandwich. It was a good sandwich. My students enjoyed their cheese sandwiches. The other adults got panini clubs and other items. Everybody seemed to enjoy their meal. t was a good lunch.
