Went for the first dinner seating of a Friday night for my teen daughters birthdays. Service was attentive and food was delightful. The birthday was acknowledged gracefully with a chocolate bar on her dessert saying happy birthday.
As we were wrapping up a musical duet was warming up to perform for the evening patrons. They were great! We had walked the museum for the day and went to dinner in jeans & blouses. I felt we were underdressed for dinner compared to other patrons .

Upon entering you are met with a wall of windows overlooking a park and architectural gems in the background. The crisp white table linens lend an air of sophistication. The service was top notch. I ordered the Benedict which was on delicious SWEET POTATO biscuits, topped with tasty shaved ham, 2 of the most perfectly poached eggs, and creamy brown butter Hollandaise. I opted to swap the salad for breakfast potatoes which were crispy and the outside and fluffy inside. Accompanied by a crisp fresh mimosa with a candied orange wheel this outstanding brunch gets a 10 out of 10. Can’t wait to return!

I was very confused on how to order, and none of the employees bothered to assist me, but were all smiles for everyone else I guess.

Had a wonderful grits and shrimp. Delicious cocktail with proseco and pear, ginger and cinnamon. The chocolate mousse with pear compote was a delight, and I liked the pumpkin cake.

New menu is an absolute a disappointment for meat eaters. Ordered the “steak” they brought out a thin deep fried hamburger patty. I heard the table behind me ask for sauce. Flavorless and expensive! The salmon was better, but my goodness how basic is salmon. Don’t let the old menu/photos fool you! They got me this time but never again Provenance. New menu coming Tuesday, please do better.

Didn’t really know what to expect from a fine dining restaurant inside of a museum, but this hit well for brunch. Everything was excellent and the staff was friendly.

The ambiance was lovely, but the food left me disappointed. I ordered the Takashi Murakami exhibition-inspired Soy-sauce eggplant and teriyaki chicken bowl, but it was far from authentic Japanese cuisine. Save yourself the trouble and steer clear of these two dishes.

Tried to have lunch today. But, hostess said it would be half hour wait. I pointed out empty tables. I asked her about a 2 top and she said, no it would still be half hour wait to be seated. She did not want to overwhelm the servers. Sounds like they need more staff🤔🙄

Wouldn’t seat a party of two, 40 minutes before their posted closing time. A long drive and $14 parking wasted.
The food was amazing and in the absolutely beautiful CMA!!! The service was not great. Long waits between courses including just getting our drinks. Which brings me to the bar tenders. They were terrible, specifically the female bartender. Bringing drinks to the table half full and with the drink sloshed all over the place. Don’t think about sending back a poorly made drink because all the other drinks will be even worse. Overall, disappointing especially for the cost of drinks and food.

The chicken tortilla soup was very gross. Very little veggies and chicken but a lot of oil.

Slowest service possible… whoever is in the kitchen acts like they are the boss. They think 100 times before moving and they look at you like you did something wrong

This restaurant is an absolute delight! Nestled in a beautiful location, it offers a perfect blend of authentic Portuguese cuisine with a fresh, modern twist. Every dish bursts with flavor, made from local or homegrown ingredients that truly shine. The service deserves a special mention—warm, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. A big bravo to the entire team! We’ll definitely be returning.
