We love to go for lunch here before seeing an exhibition. The location is lovely, sitting in the large space. Unfortunatley staff is very friendly but not well trained. The food is ok, definitely not exiting. My turkey salad had so few turkey meat cubes, I had to look for them. My husband's soup looked uninspired. When we asked for bread, we got each two thin sliced of a very sad looking brioche like bread. Thinking of dessert, we had a look at their counter. Also more sad than tempting. All dishes are not what you expect. Why make it complicated, when a straight forward sandwich would do? The pastry: Food wrap for the cookies doesn't help.

The food was delicious and the portions were huge! We had the carrot ginger soup, which was fantastic. The burger had three patties on it, so bigger than we expected. The onion rings and sauce were yum. The opened-faced sandwich with country ham, gruyere, and an egg on what tasted like French toast was a great mix of sweet and salty. Too much food for two adult women for sure.

The service was spotty at best. The servers just plopped the food down and left. We had to take our check up to the register ourselves to check out. If you have time, this place is enjoyable, but if not, you will be disappointed.

Variations of things to do at the museum. A lot of varieties of French, Haitian and Germain exhibitions. The surrounding area also has many five stars rated restaurants.

This review is for afternoon tea at the Morgan Cafe and not for the main dining room in the house which requires separate reservations to access.

Had afternoon tea for two here yesterday (9/6/24) and wanted to get my thoughts down while they are fresh.

The location is a large atrium that is not very noisy and great for conversation without a booming echo. Staff was attentive and it never got too crowded during my time here on a late Friday afternoon.

Food presentation was good (see photos) with an assortment of sweet and savory treats. Side note, if you run out of clotted cream (which was very good), a refill is $2!

I found the scones a bit dense but others may like that.

I didn't think I would get full but I did and had a box for takeaway for the leftovers.

Decent selections of teas (in bags and not loose) and they will refill the pot with hot water as many times as requested.

Overall I enjoyed the experience and the price for tea for two ($54 as of Sept, 2024) was very reasonable. If you come on a Friday afternoon, try to stay until 5PM when Museum admission is free so that you can walk off all the food afterwards!

Came here with my mother for the second time and it was not a very pleasant experience. Quite unfriendly staff (he was a white man with bald hair). We came in for a late lunch, the waiter mentioned that the kitchen is closing soon so we ordered the dessert in advance. After the meal, the ice cream came out halfway melted and the bottom was all liquid. When I told the waiter, he said it is normal and their freezer is not cold enough, which isn’t true since I’ve had the same dessert before. His response was basically “take it or leave it”. He constantly stared at us giving signs to eat quick and leave, although we had no will to stay long in any case. We left before 4pm, and I also don’t understand why the opening time’s until 5pm on google. It was completely unnecessary for him to tap on the check and insist us to pay while my mother was not finished. Especially while the other waiter brought us the check 5 min before him and asked us to pay whenever we’re ready. I completely understand we get informed about the closing time in advance and leave in time but it doesn’t have to be such an uncomfortable experience.
