The chicken salad was good but could have used a little bit more dressing, in my opinion. My husband loved his hamburger!

Our annual NYE brunch at Cafe 43 was wonderful. The hostess, Veronica, and our server, Fernando, were outstanding. They have both been with the Bush Library since its opening, and they are among the reasons we've come back year over year!

Café 43 has to be one of the best kept dining secrets in Dallas. The cuisine is world class and, in my humble opinion, underpriced. Service is top notch as well.

This venue is adjacent to the Bush Presidential Museum and Library. You don't need to go through security to dine there, but if you want to dine there and return to the museum for visit, you will need to go through the security again. They recommend making reservations but also take walk-ins if they have seats available. This place has a great ambience with unique, creative, and tasty menu. I was pleasantly surprised. Reasonable portion with great service. Nice food presentation. They thrive to provide healthy foods. They close on Sundays. If you are visiting the Bush Museum, then this can be a great restaurant option. To look at the Bush Museum thoroughly, you will need at least 3 hours (rushed doing all activities and seeing all exhibits), 5-6 hours is more relaxed. If you plan on spending the whole day, then, dining in Cafe 43 is a no brainer.

The food was awesome as always. The menu changes from time to time and that is really helpful to try new cutting edge dishes. The host, wait, and management staff are all great. The cooks are fantastic. One person that always stands out is Vanessa B. She is fantastic and always goes beyond to help guest and make the experience more impactful.

This wonderful full service restaurant offers a wide range of excellently prepared American food. The restaurant is of high quality and befitting its place in a presidential museum. Servers are very courteous, friendly and very efficient. We are regular customers and have always enjoyed this dining experience. I wish it would remain open during the evening.

We were not expecting the level of delicious food that was brought to the table. Vanessa was our waitress and she was amazing. The staff was very attentive to our needs, refills and empty plates were constantly being monitored. What a gem in the heart of SMU.

All staff exceptionally pleasant. We celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary and it was memorable to celebrate it there. Thanks again to all for making it special!
Absolutely the upmost of enjoyable! I always enjoy~it was my daughter's 1st time, and she thought it to be the best meal she has had in a long time!

Great vibe, the servants are very nice and food is good! For visitors who come for the presidential center, this is a good place to eat a brunch before the visit.

Sadly, the restaurant is now closed on Sundays, even though the Google Maps listing says it's open from. With no other place to eat at the Presidential library, we were forced to leave to find food and return to finish our visit through the museum.

Came for a celebration dinner. Free valet service with reservations, which was lovely. We were seated right away, but the tables were very close to each other. The restaurant was very cold and other women were also having to put on a sweater. The food was cooked well. Mushrooms were wonderful. Steak had no seasoning but was cooked nicely. The appetizers and desserts were delicious. Water glasses were kept full. Friendly and unobtrusive service.
Great coffee☕️
