I went here on a Thursday night to try out their dinner menu. I believe they only have the dinner menu available on Thursdays. The food was very good! I like the quality of the ingredients that were used. Also I found it interesting that they gave me a metal straw instead of a plastic one for environmental reasons. Overall the cafe was an enjoyable experience!

I love this place. Really chill vibes (quiet, low piano music, not crowded or anxious) and its not as expensive as I expected ($3ish per drink, I got a huge, tasty cheddar chive scone for another $3). The cafe portion is quite small and their hot chocolate is definitely more milk than cocoa, but the environment is really calming and Ill definitely be a regular

Our family always enjoys a visit to the museum. Well worth buying the yearly membership, then you get to visit 4 museums all year long!

High end dining -- very unusual for a museum snack bar -- but quite a treat. Wild mushroom risotto was excellent.

Okay.The coffee and the scones were good, and the guy behind the bar was helpful and courteous.The menu looked particularly well developed for a museum cafe.But there seemed to be an unnecessarily convoluted seating system at play which resulted in us not being able to have a glass of wine outside, as I understood it--and I may not have understood it. Im not particularly smart about these things.Its not exactly a complaint, but we had that sense that to order the wine, or say, a bowl of soup, would create an undue inconvenience to the staff. If it was not impossible through logistics it seemed so through...manners.Of course we then proceeded to make things worse by waiting behind the register instead of at the bar, impeding the flow of customers.Embarrassed and not wanting to be any more of a nuisance, we got our scones and coffees, and ducked outside, where pleasant if mercenary little birds darted around eating our crumbs and cheeping happily. 11/10 on the birds.

Food was greatly improved since our last visit -- happy to see new menu additions too. Gluten-free Cobb Salad was delicious as was the Portobello Panini.

We were at the museum and had no option than to eat here as we couldnt go out because of the rain. Bad choice ! The service and atmosphere were good. Menu had limited options.We ordered the Seafood Crepes Gratin, Pulled Chicken Salad and Chickpea salad sandwich. The food is very overpriced and the potion size is tiny!! Not at all worth it.Would have been somewhat satisfied if the food at least tasted good. But we all disliked it. Salad tasted normal. Sandwich was cold and bland. The bread was dry, the chickpea filling inside was horrible, had to dip it in a lot of ketchup to change the taste! Seafood gratin had a raw smell coming out, but good thing we were starving, as much as it tasted bad, we finished the tiny portion that was served. When we were leaving, we saw many tables with left over food, which did not surprise us!Avoid this place if you can!!

Pricey pricey priceyGreat lunch spot for business with great ambiance. Not really targeted for students or layabouts.

Really good. I got a Croque Madame and it was delicious!!! Literally the perfect size. I wasn’t stuffed after, but wasn’t hungry. The sandwich was 🔥. Perfect dippy egg on top of a nice French ham and cheese sandwich with fresh asparagus. Believe it or not, this was the first time in a decade that I had asparagus because I always thought it tasted bad. I took a leap of faith here and it worked perfectly balancing out the fatty richness of the cheese and ham. The yolk just ran down the side and covered the bottom of the sandwich. Seriously good. Also, the fries were delicately fried to perfection and came without salt, which I liked. Good service! I sat outside so the view and slight breeze was nice. Just a good place to get a nice meal.

Good environment but food wasnt so good. Very oily food and the order was wrong the 1st time. For desert had to tell the waiters how to make a coffee... Really weird. If you are going to the Museum it can be a good option but I would avoid it, if not, no point in coming here.

It was good place to meI love design of the cafe Carnegie.

Amazing place...with amazing service

Coffee is great and interior is really well decorated.

The view here is pretty nice for a museum cafe, but the service quality varies, depends on whose shift it was.

Very nice little cafe

Nice atmosphere good food!!!

Understaffed but very pleasant place to sit and rest.

I ate Alaskan Cod here and it was good, though it wasnt not enough to fill my stomach. Ah! They didnt remove the fishy smells of the clams in the dish. Other than that, the food was good in general. Regarding the price, this place is not a perfect place for students because of the price. Still, its not insanely expensive.

Delicious coffee with excellent service. I have been really pleased with the staff every time I’ve visited. Don’t forget that if you are a member of the museum, you get 10% off!

This is the best restaurant on Craig St. That doesnt mean its the best in the city, but its pretty good! The coffee stand has some of the best coffee in this area too.

I ordered a chicken salad. Its $14. The food came and literally its the size of a side salad. Six tiny pieces of chicken and a couple of scoops of leaves. Gone. I am a tiny person and dont eat much but I still cant believe the cafe charges this much for this little. Youve got to be kidding me. I enjoy the art in the museum but I dont want my lunch to be an art piece, good on the eyes only.

Very pleasant staff and nice ambience. They serve Counter Culture beans and the barista did a great job pulling the shot! Not too hot like most new places these days, with all the flavor notes. Nitpick: needs more training on the latte art (though I cant do any myself). Did not try any food but look forward to doing so soon.

Carnegie Cafe is always a good place to do lunch on Craig St. Being at the museum is a huge plus simply for the space itself. Huge windows next to a fountain a few yards removed from Forbes, with a spacious seating area in the main atrium.Food is great and always served in a timely manner. They have better than average variety, if you only consider the rest of Craig streets restaurants. Staff are kind and attentive. Ive gone there many times and never been disappointed. They do some pre-packaged take-out as well, which is decent, but not as good as their prepared food.

Nice spot to eat at the museum. Decent prices for a bougie setting in the museum. Staff was very professional and assistive. Food was great!

The chicken & mushroom crepes were fabulous! The wait staff is attentive but not intrusive. It is a little expensive, but a nice splurge if you have the time.

Nice location. Pricey.

Easily one of the worst dining experiences Ive had in Pittsburgh. Avoid. Go to Eat N Park instead, youll get better food and service for 1/5 the cost.The meal started with us waiting an unusually long time to order drinks. Our waitress eventually walked up and explained that she did not realize that we were her table and apologized. This was certainly forgiveable, but did not bode well.We had two starters: the deviled eggs and the artichokes. The deviled eggs were bland and the included prosciutto was mediocre at best. The artichokes were fine, but the included sauce was lackluster. It was a bit of a bummer, but I was definitely excited about the salad.Next up was the pulled chicken salad. The chicken, as far as I can tell, was completely unseasoned. The sourdough croutons (all 5 of them) were somehow both burnt and soggy (which I wasnt even aware was possible - impressively bad, Ill admit). The dressing was lifeless and the greens were almost too gigantic to eat without cutting them up first. My partners salad was no better. Hers had equally enormous lettuce leaves and was absolutely drenched in dressing. At this point, Im concerned.My main course was the shrimp roll. Their version of a shrimp roll was a sad pile of cold shrimp piled in a weirdly shaped, cube bread monstrosity. The shrimp were coated in lemon juice, killing any other flavors. At this point in the meal over 90 minutes had passed, so I had to run out and feed the meter. By the time I got back, the paltry handful of fries on my plate were cold. Honestly, the fries were probably the best part of the meal, and they tasted like something Id bake at home out of a bag of Ore Ida I got from Giant Eagle. My partners sandwich was burnt. At this point, my partner and I were having a debate if this was the worst dining experience wed had in Pittsburgh, or if it was the time I got food poisoning from an Indian restaurant that smelled like a bathroom. The Indian restaurant food poisoning incident won out, for many obvious reasons, but it was a spirited debate.The check came and it totalled over $100 for two people including two alcoholic drinks, two sad appetizers, two depressing salads, and two subpar sandwiches. The waitress barely stopped to check on how things were. It took us almost 2 hours to eat a pretty basic lunch, and not by choice. As I walked by the Quiznos down the street (Quiznos still exists?) I laughed and said We should have gone there instead. My partner agreed. We had froyo afterwards, which salvaged an otherwise really awful lunch.The cafe is both expensive and had poor service. If the food was good, I would say the experience would at least have been acceptable. But, the food was just flat out bad every step of the way. Pittsburgh has a ton of amazing food options these days. The Cafe Carnegie is not one of them. Youre better off looking elsewhere.

Maybe I shouldnt be surprised, but I really enjoy the menu at the museum cafe. They do a great job! The decor of the space is a bit dated but the food is great - better than the expected freezer-to-deep-fyer stuff I see in add-on eateries (food places secondarily attached to a main event).I do wish they offered a full menu during their weekly evening hours. If they did, I would be much more inclined to bring my family to the museum for dinner and enjoy a nice evening afterwards roaming the galleries. The nearby Phipps Conservatory does this.

Absolutely delicious ham sandwich, the sauce and egg were creamy and complemented the dish beautifully.

I ordered hot chocolate and latte. Drinks were average but the environment was sooo comfy and staff were friendly.

Our dinner for two was beyond awful.Beef Bourguignon was pathetic -- hard, overcooked beef with undercooked potatoes in a nondescript sauce. Seafood Stew consisted of dry, tasteless shrimp and tiny bland mussels over what was supposed to be risotto. Apple Cobbler, the only desert on the menu, was dominated by a large, nearly impenetrable lump of was probably cornbread.And we thought Parkhurst was second-rate!Alan Hornell

An overpriced, bland meal in comfortable chairs with subpar service. Ill go elsewhere next time.

The food is really expensive, but its supporting the museum, I hope. The kids hotdog meal was mediocre. The staff were great. If youre hungry and dont want to spend so much, head elsewhere.

The atmosphere is nice, but the food is so overpriced and there arent many options.

Very nice.

Massive cookies are delicious

Did not like the choices

Not bad sweet tea. Modern atmosphere.

I like very much
