Delicious food and drink options – customized to the current special exhibit. Extraordinary customer service and lovely ambience.

Host was quick to seat us when we arrived. The restaurant was busy, but not overwhelmed with patrons. The waitress was quick to our table and ready to take orders after we delayed to review the menu. The food choices were robust for categories of poultry, seafood, vegan and gluten free. The soup was not as hearty as the description given by the waitress more broth based rather than bean based), but was very tasty. My pasta dish was excellent. My wife ordered the crab cakes which were some of the best that I've tasted. Both dishes were very filling but we did not feel overstuffed. Overall, a great dining experience that warrant a revisit.

It's always a most wonderful experience at Amuse! The food is exceptional and the ambiance follows suit. It is a most welcoming restaurant.
Michael
Amuse is a wonderful place to dine while visiting the VMFA. The food variety is first rate, the service is excellent, and the space perfect for conversation. We visit whenever we are at the Museum and have never been disappointed.
Tobyn
Wonderful starters, entrees, drinks, and service. Will definitely return. Only negative was noise level from musical event in atrium.
Wendy
The crab cakes are divine and the slaw served with them really compliments them well. At other restaurants crab cakes can sometimes be too rich. These were perfect! The IPA available from a Richmond brewery was nice as well. Perfect meal!
Diana
Amuse -- the perfect place to have lunch before/after touring the special Giants exhibit. Elizabeth provided excellent, attentive, and friendly service.
Tom
Brunch here is always a treat. Cocktails are creative & delicious. Seasonal menu changes to match current exhibits make for diverse choices that never fail to please the palate. And as always service is excellent. Can't wait for the next visit. Thanks, Tom & Anne

Outstanding restaurant, better than most highly rated in DC. Looking forward to my next visit!
Virginia
A beautiful space, an exciting museum, caring service and excellent food. I look forward to my next visit.
Lights way too bright changed the atmosphere from what we remember previously. For that reason we would probably pause returning anytime soon.
Yvette
It was an excellent lunch time experience with great service and well presented delicious food. We had drinks, butternut squash soup, crab cake and fried oysters.

Our favorite "date night" restaurant in Richmond. FYI, it is open on evenings for dinner only on the nights that the VMFA is open late. It's also great for lunch every day.
Julie
The service was fantastic and we loved the atmosphere Food was great, especially the french fries which were the best I've had in a very long time.

It has become a tradition for me and my girlfriends to celebrate our birthdays at Amuse. Some are vegetarian, others have allergies. This restaurant has always had a versatile menu that satisfies all of our restrictions. The chef has even changed the recipe to accommodate us. We love the changing menu that often compliments the feature exhibition. We never feel rushed so we can really relax and enjoy the restaurant. At our latest meet up, the lowering sun kept bothering our eyes, so on multiple occasions the staff adjusted the screen to our satisfaction. They always go above and beyond at Amuse.
