Amuse Restaurant VMFA offers a Japanese-inspired menu that aligns with the Samurai armor exhibit. The ambiance is often described as cozy and charming, featuring a view that resembles a courtyard. The prix fixé menu includes dishes like carrot ginger salad, shrimp, white miso and chocolate semifreddo, as well as popular choices such as fried oysters served with yuzu ailine and boy choi/daikon slaw. Recent reviews highlight incredible options like crab cakes, lamb, and pork, showcasing the chef's expertise and passion for the food. The drink menu includes standout cocktails like the "Liquid Swords." However, some diners have noted that the noise level can be high, making it less suitable for romantic dinners. While the service is often described as superb and friendly, some guests found the coffee disappointing. Overall, the flavors and presentation of the dishes are praised, and the restaurant provides a pleasant dining experience, especially after visiting exhibits at VMFA.
