Thanks, TP. That's been in the works for a while, glad to see it happening. House of Marigold is really good, and popular enough that it's hard to get into, or at least it was back when we finally got in there. The museum space should fit their style very well, it seems to me.

Wiltshire at the Speed used to serve really good dishes, but I think the pandemic killed what was already a niche restaurant that wasn't extremely popular. I've said this here and elsewhere before, but the past few years, it was obvious they were phoning it in and just riding out their contract.

I've had Marigold a couple of times at after-hours events, and it's been excellent.

Fine dining seems like a strange choice for that museum. Whenever I'm in there it's packed with families with kids. A real cheese pizza, burgers and chicken tenders kind of crowd. I'm guessing that may be why the Wiltshire never did well there.
