Cardamom Reviews
Saw that Cardamom switched to a more traditional museum-style of service with the counter service/qr code system. It felt super natural and a great fit for the space. The service had been pretty slow in the past and this really sped things up before bringing my daughter to the walker. Great food, easy system, cute space. Really bummed about the decision to close. Hopefully the next operate has better luck with such a tough location.
I ate at Cardamom over the weekend. It was delicious and I loved the new service with QR codes as it was simple and allowed me to get back to the museum! Enjoy!
Went to the sculpture garden today with my family and stopped by Cardamom. I’ve been numerous times before and despite all the recent drama regarding the new QR code system, I actually found it incredibly easy and efficient, esp with kids. The food and space are always inviting and delicious and I’m a huge fan of his other restaurants. The restaurant business is a tricky one and it’s hard to make everyone happy.
Cardamom, located near the Walker Art Museum, offers a delightful dining experience with a Mediterranean-inspired menu. The restaurant's airy atmosphere, featuring large windows overlooking the Sculpture Garden, creates a lovely ambiance. The service is attentive, striking a great balance between professionalism and non-intrusiveness.
The menu features a variety of flavorful dishes, including the must-try cauliflower burrata, which bursts with flavors. The kale salad is surprisingly delicious, and the Chicken Shawarma Pita is filling and has nicely combined textures. The hummus is amazing, served with marinated olives and pickled eggplant that are top-notch. Recent visitors have enjoyed the Falafel sliders, which offer great flavor, and the Salmon dish, both described as excellent.
Desserts like the Saffron Creme Brule and Pistachio Latte have also received high praise. The Gazoz cocktail is a visual treat, allowing customers to customize it with different alcohols. The Kefi cocktail is a delightful option as well. The outdoor seating directly across from the Cherry on the Spot Sculpture Park enhances the overall experience.
Cardamom is a great place to enjoy delicious food and drinks after a museum visit or while exploring nearby Loring Park and the Walker Art Center. Recent reviews highlight the amazing food, friendly service, and beautiful space, making it a perfect spot for a date, a fun night with friends, or a brunch outing before visiting the museum. Visitors appreciate the chill atmosphere and the kindness of the staff, often noting that the experience is enjoyable from start to finish.
