If you plan to visit the George W. Bush Presidential Center. I recommend to stop by Café 43 for amazing lunch. ( visited on July 27th, 2024 )
Came back to try something else and DAMN! This place is great! The host is so nice and welcoming! But why did this sandwich taste so good?! I've never had soft ciabatta bread before and this bread was so soft and was so good with the avocado inside. The grilled chicken was like a herb chicken and was cooked to …
Highly Recommend for guests that wish to visit the George W. Bush Presidental Museum and Library. Casual dining atmosphere with Chef quality dining experience. Exemplary waitstaff. Food allergies and sensitivity handled with seamless panache. Attractively plated, locally-sourced, organic dishes. Excellent ending to my guests museum experience.
Would highly recommend to my friends and family. Had the grilled chicken on chobata bread with sweet potato fries. Couldn’t ask for better service or food. The food is cooked to perfection and the atmosphere of the restaurant is good for lunch.
It’s like a Cafe opened up a Presidential Center!! For any Seinfeld fans out there, borrowing that from s2 e8 “The Heart Attack” cf “It’s like Sizzler opened up a hospital!!”
The food was excellent as well as the service (thanks Raphael!). Lunch in a relaxed, bright restaurant adjoining the Bush Presidential Center. Everything served seemed to be excellent - and save room for the desserts!
Food was average but the ambience was great. Really calm place with good service
The seasonal menu offered at the President George W. Bush library is wonderful! My friend ordered the Butternut squash soup as a starter, and the Avocado toast with eggs and greens with fresh fruit. Both dishes were visually appealing and flavorful. I preferred the corn soup which was spicy and delicious and the corned beef sandwich, which was very similar …
Great vibe, the servants are very nice and food is good! For visitors who come for the presidential center, this is a good place to eat a brunch before the visit.
We were not expecting the level of delicious food that was brought to the table. Vanessa was our waitress and she was amazing. The staff was very attentive to our needs, refills and empty plates were constantly being monitored. What a gem in the heart of SMU.
