It is very unfortunate that many of the reviewers did not enjoy this place as much as I did. There is an incredible level of sophistication that comes with this amazing space, designed by famous archetict Rezo Piano, that's compatible with their delicious dishes. I had lunch with a friend at Table 1280 after we visited the museum. It was amazing how our touring of various works of art didn't just end at museum as we sat across from culinary perfection in both presentation and taste. I had a remarkable bowl of gazpacho soup served in a unique white bowl, which made it's beautiful red color pop. The vegetable and ingredients used to create this soup were diced just right, not too thick, not to thin and topped with a drizzle of olive oil. I sopped every bit of it up with pieces of warm golden-brown focaccia bread that I learned was made in house by their pastry chef. It was delicious,tons of herbs, tons of flavor. I took evreything in me to prevent licking the bowl. Our server, Marcus, was great. He made use feel completely comfortable as first time diners. He was very knowlegable of the menu and seemed to have a passion for it. My friend and I actually tried everything he recommended. The crab cake was AWESOME! I was a little disappointed in t's size but it is worth every penny. It was about the size of a tennis ball and broiled golden on a bed of remoulade. There was very little breading and a large majority of jumbo lump crab meat, next to a side of slaw made from a mixture of fennel, green bell peppers, and cabbage.
Pros: It's at the High Museum
Cons: I didn't get to try the entire menu
