We got lunch here while at the museum for the day. I got a slice of pepperoni pizza and an order of garlic fries. The garlic fries came in a giant bowl that was far more than the appetizer I expected. It could be a meal all by itself. The pizza slice was middling but I did enjoy the fries. I also ordered one of their special lattes which was very sweet.

Talk about inflated pricing. The food and atmosphere may be good, but the price takes away from all of it and ultimately just leaves you with guilt. They had a lot of options, but everything was unjustifiably expensive. $11 for one slice of pizza? Really? It didn't even look that appetizing. Even a side of fries, regular, unseasoned fries, was $8. You can get 20 nuggets and a double cheeseburger at McDonald's for less than that. Me and my party wanted actual lunch, but it just wasn't something we could afford here. We all shared a bowl of fries to fill the empty space in our stomachs before we left the museum to have a real meal elsewhere. They were warm and good quality, I'll give you that, but not $8 in quality. That's museum pricing for you, though. We should have eaten beforehand and brought more snacks. At the very least, there was clean, adequate seating, and they offered water, condiments, napkins, and other utensils. The fish tank beside the dining area was cute, too. Overall, 3/5.
