"The food was ok. The portions were really small. We had an appetizer, entrees, and dessert and still left hungry. The seared tuna app was tasty but it was only a 2 bites of tuna about a 2"x2" cube of tuna. The venison entree was overcooked and really small as well. I am still not sure what came with the venison. I think it was some type of noodle that had been fried? It was really just strange and chewy. The dessert was fantastic though! It was a dark chocolate cake with a raspberry sauce. definitely the highlight of the meal."

"This was my first time to dine at Muse, I met a friend for lunch and we shared everything starting with the caprese salad, easily enough for two; then for the entree we selected the wild mushroom fettucine(sp?) again enough for two. And you the main reason my friend and I share is so we can make sure we enjoy dessert, and YUM, again we shared, this time we selected the Coffee Bean Ice cream, now this is not just any ice cream it is homemade ice cream with bit of chocolate covered coffee bean, it was a fabulous finish, to a wonderful meal. It is a bit pricey with gratuity it was about $40.00 for lunch but as I said we shared so we shared the cost too. I will be back again, next time I'll bring my husband, he will enjoy it too!"

"Absolutely fantastic food. Especially the salads & choice of salads. Fresh ingredients for all their dishes. A casual version of its most notable parent the Marx Brothers.

Very reasonable priced meals."

"On a Thursday with activities planned for the evening I arrived later then I had thought, Upon discovering that I had only 15 minutes and had to tell the waiter after I being seated ,comforted and pondering my order. I sipped my water but when the waiter had returned to take my order I asked him the time, only to find I had just under 15 minutes until my function. It was dissapointing but my partner and I returned the following evening and experienced the same good service and comfortable seating with good wine and excellent food at knockout prices.
Every visit to Muse has been a good experience at amazing prices."

"The service was very slow and not very good. I had to ask twice for coffee and it still took 20 minutes to arrive. I have been here before and the service was OK, so hopefully this was a bad night, not a trend."

"New Chef overcooked the filet and the lamb. Drenched in delicious gravy, it was still above average. Server Rob made up for it with great empathy, even offering a free dessert. All other parts of meal including ahi nachos and walnut/cheese salad were outstanding. Live music with Melissa Mitchell was an unexpected bonus that made the evening truly memorable. We will definately return on nights where Rob and/or Melissa are there."
