Such a great museum! Great western art, modern art, classic art, native culture exhibits!
We had a fantastic lunch at The Ponti inside the Denver Art Museum. The atmosphere was cozy and pleasant, making it the perfect spot to relax during our museum visit.
The food was excellent across the board. I had the traditional chicken salad, which was wonderfully prepared and perfectly seasoned. My wife and son shared the grilled cheese, grilled chicken, and french fries, and they thoroughly enjoyed everything.

It's hard to believe that this is a museum restaurant. Very interesting menu very generous portions and a great value. Service couldn't have been nicer. We had the mezze plate, shrimp and grits, grilled cheese and probably the best peach cobbler I've ever had. Highly recommended. I think it would be great for dinner because it's a hidden gem.
