This is certainly one of the finest place in the region. Anytime I go there I am extremely glad. They manage their very high level service and the topmost level of meals they provide. You no doubt will love this place. Warmly recommended.
Plenty of healthy choices. Portions are priced by weight, & are quite reasonable. Quality of selections is very good (not fine restaurants' signature dishes, but much better than you may expect from a cafeteria. Nice to eat outside when weather cooperates. Plastic utensils, paper plates, but you can't beat the quality for the price - for Boston it's amazing AND tasty. You decide how much to pile on your plate, bus your tray, stack it when done).
Nice room in the basement of MFA. Lots of window to the courtyard. In summer you can sit there as well. The food is good but not spectacular. It is a cafeteria so you pick up your food, pay for it, find a table, bus the table. A better value than the other restaurants at the museum but still not cheap.
Good food, cafeteria service as opposed to table service. Less "fancy" food than the main floor cafe, but less expensive and I think every bit as good. Where the staff eat. Very good value for money.
If you have kids this is a good place to dine at the musuem. Nice selection of hot food, Pizza, sandwiches, soups, and salad bar, wine, beer too. You can eat outside in spring/summer/early fall and let your kids run around.
Pretty expensive for what it is and not that great. It'll get the job done after a few hours in the museum and is cheaper than some of the other options but you're definitely better off bringing your own picnic lunch. There's a courtyard right next to it too
Very good choices at reasonable prices in this MFA cafeteria. Beautiful view of courtyard. Nice, bright atmosphere with plenty of seating. Perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch.
A great way to feed the family a good meal at a very good price. You know it's good if the employees eat there. Save cash & eat well.
There's a good variety of food at reasonable prices. If you're on a budget, or trying to feed a small herd if children, you can't go wrong. It does get hectic early on with families coming in, but it's never too hard to find a seat. Matbe worse on Open House days, but still manageable. Things you'll find: pizza, cheese/burgers, hot hogs, chicken fingers, fries, onion rings, chips, 2 choices of soup, a salad bar, a by-the-pound hot food choice (varies), frozen novelty deserts, soda, juice, coffee, beer, and even wine.
Garden cafeteria was ok. They had premade burgers and chicken fingers, pizza that was kept warm by lights, limited Salad bar. All of which seemed overpriced, even with members discount.
