I have tried this place twice now. Early in March 2025 for a lunch with my boss and the service was not great. Our server was very inattentive and focused on the tables with the old white crowd. I was confused because we ordered drinks, appetizers and entrees yet did not receive the service of “fine” dining.
Today, I gave this place a second chance because the food was good and did not want to eat at the cafe. The server was nice but was severely lacking in attentiveness. The food is good however I would not consider this a fine dining restaurant as they advertise due to the lack of good service. I don’t mean to sound like a Karen however I think if you’re advertising and pricing some items at the fine dining level the expectation of good service is a fair expectation to have.

Not terrible, service was good, people were nice. Nothing about the food really stood out. Would rate higher but 90% sure the burger gave me food poisoning so eat at your own risk. Again, great people, but food made me sick

Tried going there on vacation alone when visiting the museum. I think they don't let people eat there unless they have a plus one. If that is true it changes the whole dynamic of the museum and makes it exclusionary. True there is a café but just because one is alone doesn't mean they should be denied something they wanted to try.

What a great way to take a break at the art museum and enjoy a nice lunch in a very cozy environment. The views are spectacular.

The food was good, well portioned, and came out relatively quickly. A bit slow to get refills on coffee. Overall a nice spot for weekend brunch.

Bring back the roasted tomato tarte! The best item on the menu for me was the Roasted Tomato Tarte that I enjoyed on numerous occasions. It was even highlighted on their menu as a favorite. So I scheduled a lunch with family and looked forward to the Roasted Tomato Tarte again today. BUT IT IS NO LONGER ON THE MENU!!! Bummer! I asked for the recipe and they said they would send it. I sure hope they will and also restore it to the menu.

I just scarfed down an Oreo brownie and it was amazing. I got a holiday latte and the lady with the septum piercing was wonderful. She was kind enough to explain the 12 oz vs 16 oz because I wanted to get a sweet snack (brownie) and a coffee but not too much sugar.
This helped inform me of what to get and I gotta say- 10/10. Price was right, coffee was not too sweet, brownie made my tongue, soul, and body happy as a little kid about to celebrate their birthday. The barista who was assisting me was so attentive, caring, delightful and her fellow employees did a phenomenal job of showing teamwork and attentiveness. Thanks SLAM for never disappointing me every single visit for years.

We had lunch on Christmas Eve at Panorama after a leisurely stroll through the museum and had Heather as our waitress, she was so awesome that when we left, we made a reservation for New Year’s Eve lunch, then came home and called membership and became Art Museum members! When we came for lunch on NY Eve, we were again waited on by Heather, another awesome experience and also by the table “bus person extraordinaire” Michael LaPaul! He was so kind and attentive and such a pleasure to talk to. Not only are the staff wonderful, but everything we had both days from the menu was wonderful. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you!

Overall the food was good. Portions were small. Customer service was great. It is in the art museum which was pretty cool.

Really lovely brunch. The atmosphere is super pleasant, and it was practically empty on a Saturday morning. Would highly recommend coming for breakfast, even if you don’t go to the museum.

Consistently delicious food and drink menu with an attentive staff and relaxing atmosphere. Try to get a spot by the floor-to-ceiling windows for the optimal experience.
