Randy had: Salmon with sweet chilli sauce and rice.

Jeff had: Panned beef with boiled potatoes.

Rating 9 (of 12) Good

Randy says: The sweet chilli sauce was a little sweet and surprisingly creamy with perhaps the merest suggestion of chilli. The salmon was poached and fresh. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad.

Jeff says: The panned beef was a cross between meatloaf and a thick patty. It came with thick gravy and was very good. The boiled potatoes weren't as dry as I expected. The salad bar was very respectable and included bean salad, hummus and fruit in addition to the usual lettuce salad stuff. The walnut bread was especially good.

Randy says: The bread was good. Nice and grainy. There was good lettuce and other surprisingly good stuff at the salad bar.

Another example of unexpectedly good food in a museum. We didn't have time to go somewhere else to look for lunch so we decided to eat right where we were in the museum. There are daily specials which include bread and the salad bar. You order and pay and then stop by the salad bar and take your food to one of the tables in the open center section of the museum amongst the soaring ceilings of the building's unique architecture.
