Lox Cafe

After walking around the museum and constantly smelling the aroma of the caf, I decided to come in for a bite. Noticed it was a very small sitting area but also an option to go to the counter and takeout. Servers were very friendly and quick to help. I ended up ordering a matzo ball soup, potato latkes, and a slice of chocolate babka. Food came out in a reasonable timeframe. The broth of the matzo ball soup was delicious and very filling. The soup itself was 18$. I'm giving four stars because when my potato latkes came out, it was just 5 potato chip sized latkes with a spoonful of sour cream and apple sauce. For 23$, I was very disappointed by the portion. Points for tasting exactly how my father used to make them. The chocolate babka was fresh and tasty. Overall an excellent experience and delicious food options!

Just beautiful view of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island which seems appropriate for this Museum restaurant. We loved the lox which was very high quality and not salty on a wonderful bagel with terrific garnish. The matzo ball is light and fluffy and the soup just right on a cold Feb afternoon. Our server suggested the chocolate strudel which was better than the strudel in Vienna. I can't think of a better lunch I have every had in the area and look forward to returning to try the Bobka.
