Anything that's not to be missed at Mitsitam Cafe in the Native American Museum?

Any favorites?

The whole meu looks fantastic especially the razor clam chowder and almost all of the South American offerings.

It looks so varied and so so reasonable.

I am excited!

Definitely get an order of fry bread with berry compote. Side dish or a dessert!

I went this summer so it looks like the menu has changed quite a bit - but really, everything was wonderful. A great experience!

Avoid the tacos.

I see they're having a chocolate festival this weekend.

My Fave is the grilled Bison @ NW coast, but my general impression having been 3 times is that you don't get a lot of food for what you pay.

I've enjoyed the steak they cook open-flame. And the whitefish salad sandwich. Check and see what the sampler (2 entrees, and 3 sides for $25) is composed of. see what fry-breads they have.

i usually get the 4 side dish plate...the smoked squash is awesome (Rachael Ray said it was one of the best hings she ever ae...) and ahyting with quinoa is great i also had a blue potate/beet/tomato/herb dish last time that was yummy. The salsa is good too.

I think the menu changes on a fairly regular basis and it is seasonal at times. I love the cedar plank salmon from the Pacific Northwest. There is also a wild rice salad served cold that is quite good and the tamales are nice.

In all seriousness I have yet to have a made meal there. My bf and I go every few months for lunch on the weekends because we love the food and variety so much.

I have yet to try to fry bread but I hear it's pretty authentic. I have pretty high standards for fry bread since at one point in my life I lived with American Indians in Alaska and my adopted Grandmother use to make me fry bread with fresh berries. If it's as good as her's I'm bound to be hooked. :)
