    Lovely bustling cafe located in the Cleveland Museum of Art. The line system was interesting as you had to go to a specific counter depending on the hot entree you wanted to order. We witnessed this cause some confusion at first I enjoyed the open kitchen area where you could watch your meal being prepared upon order. The amount of food options were vast, including pizza, burgers, sushi, salads, Mac & cheese, and special rice bowls made for the Murakami Exhibit. The cafe also had a specific dessert island with several delicious looking desserts to choose from. We paid around 35 dollars for two grilled chicken sandwiches, fries, and a chocolate chip cookie. The food was great. Fries were nicely seasoned and crispy. The cafe did have drink selection such as pop, wine, and beer; as well as free water. The wife open seating area in the museum atrium created a fun & busy vibe. We were very happy with our choice to see what the museum had in terms of food. Better quality than expected for a museum cafe.

    What an elegant way to spend part of my birthday! This is a top shelf locale that pays attention to the fine details. Our group of four were pleased with everything from drinks to meals to view. Special bonuses you won't get elsewhere: -Art-themed cocktails inspired by works of art (Strawberry Thief, designed by William Morris, c 1936) -postcard that you can sit and write and the museum will post to anywhere in the world! This is a place where you won't be rushed through your meal. You will feel welcome to sit, chat, relax, enjoy. It is worth every penny.

    I've been to both the restaurant and cafe and both were nice. The cafe has some grab-and-go things like sushi, sandwiches, juices, etc. They also have hot foods (like the lamb kafta I got and soups. They have a sushi station and a bakery section as well. The restaurant is definitely more upscale than the restaurant. The staff was very friendly here. I came for brunch a few times with friends. The food was delicious! The portions are a bit small but it's not super pricey so my friends and I split a few plates to share. We got the herb and ricotta frittata, crab cakes, and like a smores/chocolate waffle. We also shared a cocktail which was light and refreshing. All were super good! It's also just nice that it's inside the art museum so you have something to do before or after you eat!

    The Ham Benedict on a soft, biscuit.. it was OK

    Ummm, not sure what to say about this lil spot. The food is tasty and very elegantly served but certainly not worth the price... three crepes served with a berry compote and fresh whipped cream $15???? C'mon... smh Ham Benedict on a savory biscuit (not even flaky) $15?...chef.... very disappointing ... perhaps add a slice of melon or fresh fruit to make it worthwhile... For these prices, you should offer a side or glass of mimosa or... something...

    Some places are so good, you think about not recognizing them publicly lest they get over crowded. So don't come on New Year's Eve, as that is out time slot annually! I think a trip to the Art Museum should always end with an artistic meal such as they serve here. With cocktails. The French 75 and Curry Chicken brought in 2020 a little early for me! Make reservations!

    Crispy trout with fried egg

    Spent a quiet Sunday brunch with 5 family members and everything was perfect. We had a table with a great view, excellent service, and very good food. The brunch menu is a bit limited but we all liked what we ate including trout on greens topped with a fried egg... and smoked salmon on a corn pancake. They offer a really interesting selection of mixed drinks... but we didn't try them.

    Love this small upscale restaurant located in the CLEVELAND Museum of Art. It really is a hidden gem of sorts. Hours are a bit irregular so check to see hours before going. The staff are top notch and friendly. The drinks are unusual and worth trying--they change regularly. The food is some of the best you will enjoy in CLEVELAND. The menu changes according to exhibit and availability of fresh in season produce. It is not a big menu, but anything you try will be excellent. The Brussels sprouts appetizer is top notch as well as the curried chicken salad. I don't think you would be disappointed in anything you order. It is a bit pricey for what one would expect to pay in a museum food spot, but this is not your ordinary museum restaurant, it is extraordinary.

    Calabrian Fried Chicken & Cornmeal Waffle
    Jasmine G.

    A simple, yet elegant menu full of flavor. Great for an intimate dining experience, all while right in the Art Museum. I've been to the CMA plenty of times before and had never seen this restaurant! It is tucked right to the left of the Cafe area, if you walk to the corner. We came to meet friends for their Saturday brunch menu. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the choices on here. There aren't a lot of options, for good reason. Each plate is carefully crafted, each ingredient thoughtfully selected so that you are left feeling satisfied. I got the Crab Cake Sandwich, which a friend of mine had suggested. The fennel apple slaw added a nice crunch and refreshing contrast to the heavier crab cake and pork belly slice. It came with delicious smashed potatoes, which were still crunchy on the outside but creamy on the inside. I couldn't resist and also got a side of the sage sausage, which went nicely with the meal. I was delightfully stuffed from everything (without feeling weighed down); I probably would not eat the top bun if I got it again. My friend ordered the amazing Calabrian Fried Chicken which came on top of a cornmeal waffle. This was honestly the FIRST thing that I saw on the menu and would have gotten it if my friend had not suggested the crab cake. The fried chicken was not greasy, as you usually get with a "chicken and waffles" plate, and the housemade relish also paired well with the rest of the ingredients. I didn't think it was very spicy, so I would have liked it a little spicier BUT I have a high spice tolerance and we didn't want to ask for hot sauce to change the flavor of the overall dish. I'm getting this the next time I come for the the brunch menu. The Provenance restaurant is geared towards more of a smaller, intimate kind of dining experience, in my opinion. The staff here was wonderful and very attentive. I was hesitant about the prices for everything on the menu, but I would come back for a special occasion or just to treat myself once in a while. It may also be a bit pricier because of its location within the CMA. But hey, the CMA is free admission, so I'd love to show my support by paying a little more at their in-house restaurant.

    Disclaimer: This review is based solely on my bar experience (service and drinks). After spending nearly 2 hours in the Yayoi Kusama exhibit, my friends and I stopped in Provenance for a cocktail. We sat at the bar and, even though he was in the middle of making drinks for other guests, Andrew immediately greeted us with a smile then brought over menus. He answered all the questions we had and was full of SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE! The current drink menu was created to highlight and play off the current exhibit, which made the experience so much better! Here's a rundown of the drinks we had: Blackberry Dot - passionfruit, vodka, white tea, and in-house made blackberry caviar (the caviar complemented the polka dots in Kusama's exhibit) Midnight Light - a modern take on the Aviation with kumquat shrub and citadelle. Ginzu Sour - similar to a NY Sour with freeze dried cherry dust sprinkled on top. Despite going to the museum countless times prior, this was the first time I'd been to the bar and super bummed to know I was missing out all along! Ending a museum visit with a cocktail is my new favorite tradition and one I encourage everyone to adopt.

    I had to wait 20 minutes for a seat at the bar on a Friday morning, and I'm glad to say the wait…read morewas worth it! I ordered the biscuit & gravy ($16) and one kids pancake ($5). Both were delicious! The biscuit was perfectly buttery, and it was covered in a rich, flavorful mushroom gravy and came with scrambled eggs. It was filling but somehow not too heavy. I licked my plate clean. The pancake was also wonderful. It was topped with a thin layer of rhubarb jam that brought a nice tartness along with a dollop of sorghum butter and whipped cream, and served with Ohio maple syrup on the side. I could have easily had a whole stack of the pancakes. The staff was friendly, and though the place was busy, the service was efficient. Excited to come here again!

The place was packed, but the wait for a table was no problem at all--it was clearly worth it. I ordered the French toast (and calling it that doesn't do it justice). It was apple cinnamon toast layered with sweetened cream cheese, Ohio maple syrup, and Nolan's milk bread--and it was beyond anything I've ever tasted. Every bite had my taste buds popping. I couldn't finish the whole plate, but only because I was full, not because I wanted to stop. The space itself is small, cozy, and incredibly charming--cute, quaint vibes that make the whole experience feel warm and special. Truly an unforgettable brunch. I'm already dreaming about going back.

    We came here to celebrate our daughter's birthday, and it was nearly a perfect experience…read more The restaurant had just switched to its summer menu, and we absolutely loved it. The food was outstanding across the board, and the service was attentive, professional, and on point throughout the evening. The only minor hiccup involved our seating. We had reserved a table on the patio, which is usually the perfect place to dine. Unfortunately, the weather turned out to be a bit cooler than expected. By the time we were finishing our main courses, it had become too cold to fully enjoy the outdoor setting. We had inquired earlier about moving inside, but the restaurant was unable to accommodate us at that time due to capacity. Thankfully, they were able to find us a table indoors for dessert, which we greatly appreciated. That turned out to be the perfect ending to the evening, as the desserts were every bit as impressive as the rest of the meal. Overall, this was an excellent dining experience with outstanding food and service. The weather was the only thing that kept it from being absolutely perfect, and the staff did their best to make things right. We would happily return.

I usually don't like mussels but the sauce was super flavorful and the mussels were tender. 5/5 Never had a bone-in pork schnitzel ($42) and while it was pricey, it was quite the size. Definitely couldn't finish all of it, so had leftovers to take back. 4/5 Service was decent, good recommendations. Small cozy atmosphere. Parking available as free street parking.

Good cocktails, solid atmosphere, and the kind of spot that would normally earn a regular visit. If this were just about the experience, it'd be four stars easy. But I can't in good conscience leave it there. Owner Bobby George faced serious charges including attempted murder, four counts of kidnapping, two counts of strangulation, felonious assault, and rape -- and ultimately pleaded guilty to attempted strangulation, receiving no jail time despite those original charges. Hard pass on putting dollars in that pocket. Then there's the food angle. TownHall markets itself as a health-forward restaurant, but they've gone fully seed-oil-free, cooking exclusively in beef tallow -- positioned as some wellness revolution. The Cleveland Clinic disagrees, with a cardiovascular dietitian stating beef tallow is simply not a healthy cooking choice due to its high saturated fat content. Ironic for a place selling itself as the clean-eating destination of Ohio. Good bar, bad owner, questionable food science. I'll spend my money elsewhere.
