We were visiting the Cleveland Institute of Arts Museum and arrived for our Doscent lead tour a bit early, We had reserved paid tickets for a special exhibit but were hungry when we arrived. So we asked the person at the check-in desk if we could exchange our tickets for a later tour and that was done for us. We used the time to grab something to eat and there were two choices at the Museum. One was a sit down restaurant and the other was the Provenance Café. After looking over the menus for both, we decided on the Café. The sit down restaurant was quite pricy IMO and the menu offerings were not particularly exciting.
On the other hand, there were quite a few choices that looked appetizing to us on the Café menu. The menu included salads, soups, hamburgers and other grill items, international dishes and other hot and cold specialties.
I had a nice cheeseburger plate that came with fresh cut French fries. The burger was served on a grilled brioche bun and it was also served with crisp lettuce, sliced tomatoes, Bermuda onions and pickle slices. My wife had a bowl of cream of broccoli soup that had big chunks of ham in it and a toasted flat bread that was grilled with cheese and fresh veggies.
The food was good, but of course since this is a museum, the prices are not cheap. I think we paid about $ 30.00 before a discount was applied because of our Detroit Institute of Arts membership which reduced the cost by about 10 percent.
Museum, restaurants can be horrible. But this one was great.
