New American Cafe - Boston

The sweet potato wedges at this restaurant are an ideal savory treat.

I ordered meaded golf shackle with risotto 26) and the part was super small. sevice was in order and the place is beautiful, but I left the restaurant still hungry.

Went to MFA today (August 14, 2021) with my adult grandson to view Monet then for lunch at the MFA New American Cafe. An excellent experience. Great service, delicious food and the dessert brownie with ice cream was the best I have ever had! It is pricey but worth it. Had green garden salad, broccoli, chicken wrap, chicken quesadilla. I would go back just to have the wonderful dessert again! We loved all the food.

With COVID, we members decided to stay at the Museum for lunch. They had grab and go sandwiches and we were sure they would be pretty good. WRONG. Tasteless, cold sandwiches for $8.00 each. We waited in a long line with one employee trying to work as a cashier. There were two choices... a vegan wrap and a Calabrese sandwich. Both were tasteless. I have had catered sandwiches before that are very good so I was so disappointed that the MFA would treat members who are pretty much without other options to eat these. By 2 p.m., there were no sandwiches left. Funny because people had to reserve tickets for the Monet exhibit so they knew how many visitors the MFA would have. Not buying a membership again. j

Pandemic used as an excuse to fleece customers and provide poor prepackaged food, currently the only place to buy “food” in the museum.
