Very cute and cozy place with beautiful views. We got all this and it was yummy: lemonade, coffee, iced coffee, nachos, crab cakes, tacos, and the dessert was amazing and so fresh. We got the carrot cake and an orange custard pie with chocolate ganache. Our server was so sweet and helpful, and other staff was kind and brought my children crayons and coloring sheets. Also bathrooms were clean

This is delightful setting with a view of Santa Fe, nesed between the museums on Museum Hill. The enchiladas were rich and flavorful. The meatballs were tasty and complex, with a beef-onion soup base and lots of vegetables. All in all, a very nice lunch.

Location, views, and service are what stands out at this restaurant. The food was very good also. I got the enchilada plate and was happy and full afterwards. Inside it was clean and comfortable. The view from our table was amazing. Our waiter was professional, courteous, and helpful at all times. Very much enjoyed dining here.

Stopped by for lunch between visiting the Botanical garden and the Folk Art museum. Sat outside and the ambience was very nice. Service was good though a little slow at times. Food was great. I particularly enjoyed the roasted eggplant sandwich while my wife enjoyed the special which was a caprese shrimp salad. Very nice recharging stop between places.

The bathroom at Museum Hill Cafe was decent. Clean look and feel. However, no bidet; that is why I gave 4 stars. Overall, pretty fresh.
