This restaurant is inside the crystal bridges museum in Bentonville. The architecture is beautiful, as are the views, but the food is just average. I got a veggie melt, which was soggy. All sandwiches come with shoestring fries, also soggy and cold. There were several sandwiches, including a turkey melt, grilled cheese, and a Reuben. It’s basically a service where you order at the counter, take a number, and wait for your food. The people serving the food try to do the best with what they have. It was crowded the day I went, so seating was tough. The high top tables they have are ridiculous and difficult to manage for a 5’2 person like myself. Expensive for what it is, but that’s expected from a cafe inside a museum. If you’re at the museum, you’re probably going to eat there anyway as a captive population.
You'll find this eatery inside the Crystal Bridges Museum. We had the turkey melt sandwiches which were delicious. The servings were large, and in fact, we could have shared the sandwich. Their shoestring fries were wonderful. It is good and so handy to stop here to eat while you are visiting the museum.
Lovely place to eat lunch while visiting Crystal Bridges, but my goodness, the cashier in the Cafe was so rude. Totally surprised us because everyone else here is so helpful and friendly.
Beautiful place and pretty good food. Loved the art and the experience!
Nice lunch spot if you are visiting the museum. The menu is small but interesting, and like most museum food, overpriced. Tasty though. Our big issue was with the cashier taking our order. She was extremely rude which was really surprising. Everyone else here is friendly and helpful, but she was the opposite.
Loved the views and food here! I had the Crispy Pork Loin Sandwich with fries. It was very filling! The sandwich contained pickled pears, arugula and apple butter aioli. It all blended perfectly together and made for a very tasty sandwich. Additionally, the fries were well seasoned and wasn't too salty. It's definitely a must try when visiting the museum.
The decor is awesome, there's lot of space inside the restaurant. For quick bites and coffee, there is a separate counter at the entrance. For lunch options, there's not a full fledged menu but very limited options of salads l, burgers and fried chicken sandwich. Overall, it's a good place if you want to have a good get-together in a spacious and Serene location but if you also good food options, look somewhere else.
This is a must when in the Bentonville area. First off, general admission to the museum is free. Second, the atmosphere when dining it exceptional. The staff was warm and personable. The food was so good. I ordered the Chicken Salad with a side soup and my gosh. It really was perfect and beautifully presented. We also ordered another side soup and the Fall Ancient Grains Salad. Another exceptional meal.
What a cool space! We just grabbed some drinks and an appetizer. The drinks were great- the appetizer could have been better. It was like eleven dollars for a couple of crackers with cheese and vinegar on them. Wouldn't recommend that dish, but the vibe in Eleven is really cool.
After a morning of enjoying art, having a glass of wine with a tasty sandwich here s a good way to spend lunch.
