My husband and I ate here for our anniversary this past weekend. I hadn’t been to Muse since it rebranded from @1800 so I was excited to see the changes.
My first impression was the restaurant was fancy and had nice lighting but the seating arrangements were oddly not private at all. I sat across from my husband and had couples a few feet away on either side of us. You could tell there was white noise but it actually made it very hard for me to hear my husband while I could hear the couples on either side of me quite clearly. It was also quite cold.
Service was very good however I understand that it’s all about the experience so from sit down to check we were there for about 2 hours.
We started with drinks and were offered a sample of a new little dish with a cracker, goat cheese and caramelized onions which was so good! We also ordered the special shrimp appetizer and it was certainly the best shrimp we’d ever had. For the mains, we ordered the roasted sweet corn Caesar salad, the elk chop, and the pork pasta. There was a little miscommunication because the salad came out as an appetizer and it was super tiny which ended up being fine because it was nothing special. The pork pasta was bizarre. It was more of a pork soup and basically had zero flavor. The elk chop was amazing and was cooked perfectly. The bread service and mashed potato gratin were also excellent.
We love dessert and though none of the desserts looked good, we ordered the apple coffee cake. I’m not exaggerating when I say this was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Cake was dry and the nutmeg and cinnamon are so overpowering it burned my mouth a little. Honestly a disgrace to desserts and should be taken off the menu. This put a big damper on the entire meal.
Final note-after the first course, I began to feel a little off and I did get fairly sick that evening into the next day. I have a sensitive stomach but I’ve never had issues with high end restaurants.
I’m not against giving this place another chance but I need to emotionally recover from the dessert disappointment so it may be awhile.

One of the best experiences we have had at a restaurant. We don't go out to fancy restaurants often. We went out for our 2 year wedding anniversary and it was absolutely wonderful. My husband and I had such a wonderful time and never felt rushed or like we were waiting forever. It was a great date night and we are hoping to make this a tradition. Thank you Muse for the wonderful experience!
Food was very good. Ambiance on the quiet side. Elk was recommended but not available and we had a mix up on the wine ordered vs brought. Overall staff was enjoyable, engaging and management dealt with the mix ups in a very generous manner. I would go back. If I lived in the area it would certainly be a place I would go for special occasions or a date. Not a place if you are looking for a rowdy time with golf buddies.

I wanted to celebrate my friends 80th birthday with the best upscale restaurant in our area and picked Muse. It was a lovely experience and will come more often. The pineapple sorbet was so good that I'm thinking of going back.

Ellen is a professional server. Always knowledgeable about the cuisine, cocktails, etc. If she doesn't know about a dish or drink she'll get back to you. (Known her for years.) I always wanted to try a chicken entree; mine did not disappoint: the bright green harissa sauce was a compliment to the perfect half chicken served with slivers of carrots and red peppers, and roasted multi-colored potatoes. Prior to dinner was a petite surprise: ricotta on a strawberry slice, topped with honey and a tiny slice of (basil) presented alongside a tasting of their espresso red-blended wine (they specially brew limited batches). No room for dessert as I only ate half of the entree and enjoyed a superb, refreshing Whiskey Smash. Reasonable prices, and excellent service has me returning, along with their changing menu. Another two small plates were made at home with the leftovers.
We had the most wonderful dinner at The Muse tonight to celebrate our anniversary. Drinks and food were excellent. We particularly enjoyed the Seafood Ravioli. Very large and tasty. Dessert was also excellent.

What a perfect evening- sitting out on the balcony watching a few deer, perfect temperature with great conversation and great wine. The server was charming and knowledgeable. The food spectacular- one of our top rated French Onion soups, delicious herb bread and very flavorful beef filet on of some of the most delicious Yukon potatoes. Completed with a complimentary birthday dessert. Definitely one our top dinners of all times and we've had many great dinners around the world.

Our whole experience at Muse was second to none. Our food was the best along with our bartender, server and hostess. Will definitely be back
