Although the exhibits are amazing and the staff friendly and efficient, I am sorry to say as a person suffering with gluten allergies I was not able to get a decent meal at this facility. They could only offer a sweet chocolate treat and a salad. In this day and age with the availability of gluten free products I am astounded. I am now faced with not having anything to eat while my companions do. Certainly not what I expect from a place that claims to be against all forms of oppression and is all about inclusion. Apparently people with allergies don’t qualify..

I'd like to say that the kids food is terrible, but I can't. They're out of the kids menu every time my daughter and I have been there. We are not continuing our membership next year because we have to leave the museum early the last 2 times we've been there. The cafe upstairs was great, but it closes ridiculously early. If this restaurant was a stand alone place I'd give it 3 days tops and it would close. The rest of my review will be one long series of boo's and tantrums. This is only fair as you have caused me to be the focus of several tantrums. Boo! Boo! Boo! I hate you! boo! Boo! Science museum wrecking!! boo! Boo! Hiss! Boo! Boo! Non-food having restaurant! You're not a real restaurant! Boo! Boo! Boo!

Very poor GF (gluten-free) selection.

A pleasant setting with big windows looking out to the bluffs across the Mississippi. Extremely convenient for preventing or treating hunger-induced meltdowns. The food is real and tasty, including freshly-made pizzas and good salads. You can feel good that your food purchase supports the museum.However, given its presence in a science museum, I am disappointed more attention is not paid to the sciences of nutrition and ecology. There is an extensive offering of sugar-sweetened beverages plus candy offered at kid level. Compostable utensils could replace plastic to help meet their stated goal of zero waste. This would be a great opportunity for the museum to extend its education beyond the boundaries of its fantastic exhibits.

Overpriced with extremely small portions. The kids meals are so small you might as well buy a plate of air. Avoid if possible.
