Environment is beautiful- inside the museum with a nice garden. But the food is TERRIBLE! The burger patty is not even fresh! The bouillabaisse is clearly using frozen ingredients with quick cooking - chef and the restaurant owner please check the receipt of the dish! Clearly this is a place for a coffee not food.
A small menu but some very good offerings. The food was delicious and the garden is lovely. High marks to our server Cory who was attentive and kind.
We loved the place. The view on the garden is just magical and the interior design was great. The staff was pleasant. It is so nice to have a great meal followed by a great visit. We saw Marie Laurencin exhibit which was amazing:-)
Liked it so much. Tasty breakfast burger and french toasts. Now it’s a favorite place.
Food was good, wish they had more options. Service was pleasant, our server was very attentive. Highly recommend.
The food and service at the Garden Restaurant Cafe were as excellent as the art at the Barnes Foundation. The Semplice was perfectly arranged and one of the best tasting salads I had. The cheeseburger was prepared exactly how I asked for -- medium rare. Butterscotch Budino was outstanding. Lovely window views. Host, kitchen staff, and servers were all welcoming and helpful.
Very nice fine dining experience after visiting the art exhibit. The dining area is very spacious with an open kitchen. I was surprised how quiet it was with an open kitchen. We had the choice to eat inside or out, although the garden looked nice, it was very hot out. The staff were young and very attentive and personable too. A plus, for a party of six it felt like we were constantly attended too.
A variety of dishes were ordered, tuna melt was poplar and well received. Chicken Salad BLT on fresh sourdough bread, roasted cauliflower salad with a side of chicken salad, and lastly Chicken Milanese. All were excellent. For desert we shared a Lemon olive oil loaf. It was like a moist pound cake. The price was in keeping with the venue and other restaurants like The Garden Restaurant. It was a nice treat and if presented with same opportunity I would do it again.

Excellent restaurant at the museum. Perhaps the best museum restaurant in the area. Limited menu, but what they offered were quite good with high quality in food preparation and presentation. We enjoyed the salad, grilled salmon, steak and chicken salad BLT.
Service was superb. Decent wine list.

Luminous space with young, attentive staff. Menu is limited. I ordered the burger which was good, but the fries were extremely seasoned and salted - I love salty food but these fries were so salted that I left half of them. Next time I’ll see whether I can get them unseasoned.
Dropped in for a late-ish lunch during my visit to the Barnes. My friend and I ordered their falafel roll, salad with salmon, and avocado toast. Everything was good-the falafel in particular was really delicious and the fries thick and fresh. Service was super nice. The waiter kindly switched feta in the salad for (a lot of) parmesan, and was friendly without being intrusive. A happy experience!
