We stopped by this cafe after overhearing someone talking about the frozen margaritas, and let me tell you, they did NOT disappoint! There were two options, Mango Frozen Margarita and Blackberry Lime Margarita and both were delicious, super refreshing, and hit the spot. The place was busy and overall was a good quick sit down. The outside area was very nice it was just too hot to sit out there for too long.
The service was quick and friendly, and even though we didn’t try the food (they had items like pizza and pastries). It was perfect for a drink break while exploring the museum!

You could see through the Americano and the milk needed to be refilled, at least the view is nice.

How can you go wrong? You view the wonderful Frida Kahlo exhibit and then head upstairs to the restaurant for a delightful lunch. A friend from Philadelphia comes to Richmond periodically, and we try and meet up at the VMFA for the art AND for lunch. We always enjoy both. The restaurant is the perfect place for us to not only enjoy a delicious meal but to have the chance to catch up. The setting is lovely, the menu choices varied and appealing, and the food and drinks quite satisfying. Highly recommend.

Great time as always at Amuse! Food, service, and ambiance were on point. We were celebrating a birthday & they reached out via text 2 days prior to ask if I'd like to personalize the menus with a birthday wish! What a nice added touch! We always enjoy Amuse & will be back very soon!

Appreciate good vegan options. The crispy cauliflower, in particular, was incredibly good.
Food was very good. Service was superb. But noise level was unbearable. Not a place for a romantic dinner. Regrettably, coffee tasted like Nestle instant coffee. Will return, may be for lunch.

We love the exhibit-calibrated menus just as much as the exhibit itself. You are doing a fantastic job! Your cocktail game is Louvre-level. Please never stop doing this. It has become part of the experience now.

Great dining experience today at the museum. Everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend for a special lunch out. Not inexpensive but well worth the trip.

Brought my granddaughter for her birthday to see the Frida Kahlo exhibit and had dinner at Amuse. Everything was perfect. They even had menus made specifically with my granddaughters name.

Always a wonderful experience. Ann and I had guests from Key West and they loved the VMFA and lunch at Amuse —-
