![4]( "Recensione")
Delighted to discover that the Gingko Restaurant is open in the evening for Illumination (holiday lights) events. After experiencing the light displays, we stopped for a meal.
So many vegan and vegetarian choices on the menu. Other museums and venues could take a lesson from this! We ordered and enjoyed the Korean Stirfry. It was a little salty for me, but ample portions and reasonable prices. Served piping hot. Hot cider was delicious.
Lots of seating in the clean dining area, including seats by the expansive windows overlooking the lights for the Illumination finale. That was a treat and a fun way to wrap up the evening.
Our only issues were customer service focused. We had to ask for napkins and were given just two for meals that have a fair amount of juice. Also, we paid for my husband to have roasted vegetables added to his entree, but it looked just like mine in portion size. When I asked the server, he said he didn't know. No offer to check or to make it right. We were tired, so didn't press the point. But they will lose customers if this is a pattern.
Note: As with most museums and cultural centers, the food venues are run by a different company, not by the Arboretum.
Allergen menus are not available. Even with a sign on the register that said to ask if you have allergens the cashier simply told us "no" when we asked. It's very hard to order food when your child has a dairy allergy! None of the items on the children's menu looked suitable, so I ordered a vegan meal and my child tried it. Not a total loss, but fair warning to other allergy parents that this place is not very Allergy friendly, make sure to pack a lunch instead.
The food was decent, the room is beautiful!
Been here many times. Great views to relax with your food and drinks. They offer beer and wine. I had the quinoa bowl today. Very good but it was a little too salty for me.
Just had drinks during a warm day. Service was good since it was not a peak time, around 4 plus.
This is an excellent cafe, located inside the Information Center of The Morton Arboretum. The dining area overlooks a pond. The menu is great.
I had the pick two meal option 1/2 Portobello mushroom sandwich and cheese potato soup which was delicious. My niece had the salad with hers. We sat and enjoyed the view of the lake. The cocoa was nice and warm after a cold hike. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Great views, bistro choices, hrest taste, kind of noisy but always lots of people, clean, coffee so so
First time here, everything was very good
The javalanche was delicious! And the place in general was very nice. Staff were also quite friendly.
Better-than-average fare at prices that are not as high as you'd pay at a museum or aquarium. Gluten-free and vegetarian/vegan options, too.
Delish hand made chili and Greek salad combo.
Take a late morning or lunch break here! Burgers wraps hot dog salads chicken too. A few seating choices fast service and a clean restaurant. $$ we stop each time we visit 🙂
The food was surprising great at the location.
This is a really nice restaurant that has excellent food and options for all sorts of groups. Food is high quality and does not take a extremely long time to be prepared.
Great for a quick bite, good variety amazing views
Decent food. Tasty and fresh. There are some good options, both vegetarian and non vegetarian.
