Decided to visit them as the museum was actually limited today due to the MLK holiday. The staff was very and attentive, they would come and check in frequently. I decided to start off with a glass of Chardonnay and they serve you two rolls of bread with butter while you wait for your meals. I also asked for water and they serve it with ice, it tasted good to me! I ordered the avocado toast plate, it also came with a side spring salad, fresh veggies such as carrots Persian cucumbers and tomatoes along with the spring mix lettuce. The avocado toast was also delicious fresh avocado spread a slice of tomato The ambience was pleasant, not too loud Overall, a nice little spot to visit if you are in the skirball museum!

Love this place! Reasonable prices. Simple menu. (Check it out before you go). It's kosher so you won't find protein and dairy (like cheese) together. Has indoor and outdoor seating.

The food was very good as well as the service. It was a beautiful day and we sat in the outdoor patio. The restaurant was not as busy as usual. I think it was because of the world situation.

Stopping in before seeing the Blacklist exhibit was brilliant! Light and airy, Zeidler's is built on a curve so sounds aren't bounced back and the noise level is minimal. Wonderful and attentive service and yummy food rounded out our visit. Two thumbs up!

What a pleasant surprise to find a museum restaurant that’s reasonably priced and unpretentious, and has really delicious food! (I’m glaring at you, Fanny’s, with your mediocre yet precious offerings, high prices and obsequious yet snooty waitstaff) I have always thought that museum cafes should be accessible to all, not just wealthy patrons.My friend and I split a generous quinoa/farro/arugula/apple/pomegranite salad with sesame dressing, and a roasted vegetable gratin, basically a block of stacked sliced squashes and other veggies enrobed in melted cheese, similar in feel to lasagna. Both items were fantastic and portion sizes were good. The staff was attentive and on top of the drink refills. We ate outside under sunny yellow umbrellas; the inside dining area was minimalist, clean, very white and a bit sterile but not unpleasant.I’m not sure about this, but it seemed to be a Kosher restaurant; they served some fish dishes but I don’t recall any other animals on the menu. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. A woman nearby got some sweet potato fries, which looked large, crunchy and impressive. I’ll get them next time.I had a great experience there and hope to go again. I wish they were open later. Was very surprised how much I liked it. Price came to a little over $20+T&T each.Vegetarian options: Lots of them! Most of the dishes are vegetarian; a few have fish. Their Matzo Ball Soup is made with chickenless broth.Parking: Parking is free in an indoor lot during the restaurant’s hours. A little (very pleasant) walk to the main building; not sure what arrangements they have for wheelchairs coming in.

Delightful lunch at Zeidler's as part of our first visit to Skirball. They do take reservations (so make one if you plan ahead) but were still able to seat us as walk-ins at noon on a Saturday. There's something special about restaurants in museums when the design aesthetic carries through from gallery to dining room - we thoroughly enjoyed the light coming in through windows on either side and all the decor choices. Wanted to take home the plates and linen napkins - elevated the cafe menu to an elegant vibe. I enjoyed their simple garden salad - fresh produce always wins major points in my book and a great homemade balsamic vinaigrette gave it good zing. I had the grilled vegetable sandwich and it was a treat - great flavor - I will be trying to recreate it at home for a while! Service was polite and professional. Would definitely enjoy eating here again!

The atmosphere is lovely. Clean, classy with a view of the pond if you're on the right side. We also watched a wedding rehearse. Nice wine. Great kids menu with lots of options for picky eaters. I was a bit disappointed in my beyond burger. It just was a bit bland with the patty being sorta soft. The fries were all very short and too crispy. Felt like it was the bottom of the bag or something? It's nice, but I didn't have my socks knocked off by the meal. Perhaps next time. It is a good option when visiting the museum. Cordial staff.
We went to Zeidler's at the Skirball after a fun visit to the "I'll Have What She's Having" Jewish deli exhibit. We wondered, considering the unique nature of the exhibit, if they'd use the chance to offer some classic deli dishes in conjunction with it. Sure enough they did. There was a whole separate menu of deli offerings including some delicious vegetarian options.I really loved the Mrs. Goldfarb's vegan Corned Beef sandwich.I also got on order of the Potato, Kale and Carmelized Onion Knish...The sandwich filled me up so I took these home and they were, for sure, among the best knishes I had (not to mention vegetarian)Also for us vegetarians (though we didn't have them this time) are Matzo Ball Soup and cheese blintzes. (Not mention their entire regular menu is also available which has tons of vegan and vegetarian items as well as gluten free options (including an Impossible burger which my son had, and a vegan broccoli soup which my wife had and which was super flavorful.To be a Jew is to eat. Like our ancestors before us ate. Zeidler's is the perfect place to get elevated deli food (while the exhibit is still happening) after or during a visit to the Skirball. (and maybe even as a destination on its own.)
