点评:Museum & gardens are a delight. Strongly recommend a visit to both.
However avoid the cafe.
After the museum and its exhibitions on American life we were both hungry for something typically American. I fantasised about a succulent hotdog with fried onions or a slab of homemade apple pie. I ended up with a dreary pulled pork something on bad bread. My partner has the worst Mac & cheese we have eaten anywhere. Two of the restaurant’s tables were full of uncleared crockery & half-eaten food (now I know why). I was SO tempted to clear them myself but spotted a member of staff on their break busy ignoring them while the two counter staff chatted about their other colleagues while they served us.
The cafe is in a beautiful building. The tables etc lovely but the food is terrible. Everything looked limp & disappointing. I rarely leave food unfinished but this time we both couldn’t stomach more than a few bites.
In short this restaurant needs a rethink. Make it simpler, make it more American & give your staff something to be proud of. The worst cafe in a restaurant I have EVER visited (and I have visited many).
Please don’t let my review put you off the museum or gardens. Five stars for both.
翻译:博物馆和花园都令人赏心悦目,强烈推荐参观。
不过,千万别去咖啡馆。
参观完博物馆及其美国生活展览后,我们都想吃点典型的美式食物。我幻想着来一份鲜嫩多汁的热狗配炸洋葱,或者一块自制的苹果派。结果,我点了一份难以下咽的猪肉丝,面包也很难吃。我的伴侣点了我们吃过最难吃的通心粉奶酪。餐厅里有两张桌子上堆满了没收拾的餐具和吃了一半的食物(现在我终于明白为什么了)。我当时很想自己收拾一下,但看到一个正在休息的服务员忙着打发时间,而两个柜台服务员却一边给我们服务一边聊着他们的同事。
咖啡馆的建筑很漂亮,桌椅等等都很精致,但是食物却很糟糕。所有东西看起来都软塌塌的,令人失望。我很少会吃剩饭,但这次我们俩都只吃了几口就吃不下去了。
总之,这家餐厅需要好好改进一下。让它更简洁,更美式一些,让你的员工有值得骄傲的地方。这是我去过的最糟糕的餐厅咖啡厅(而且我去过很多家)。
请不要因为我的评论而对博物馆或花园失去兴趣。两者都值得五星好评。
