To me the best aspect of this place is the atmosphere. A beautiful dinning room with plenty of windows and a gorgeous view. And extra points it’s inside of the museum. The menu is small but sophisticated with plenty of local resourced food.

Innovative fresh flavors and an idyllic environment. The spring/summer vegetables were incredible. The cabbage salad is a must try with its vinaigrette and peppermint leaves.

Had a wonderful lunch with 5 friends. Wonderful service. Great food. Loved the tomato tart, black truffle eggs, and peach pancakes.

This restaurant goes hand-in-hand with the art museum it sits on top of! Beautiful, natural lit location with fantastic decor. The menu was a bit limiting, and the options weren’t as tasty as we thought they would be, but it was still good food with great atmosphere and staff!

We came here for brunch on Sunday. I only wish it opened at 11 instead of 11:30. Good thing we got here a couple minutes before it opened because we did not have reservations. The restaurant went from being empty to almost full very quickly!

A wonderful indulgence on a museum visit. Casual but elevated, we enjoyed a late Sunday brunch. The service was friendly and the food delicious. Reservations are advised.

We used the Amuse private dining room for our rehearsal dinner and we could not have loved it more! Nikia Lemaire, the assistant general manager, could not have been more lovely or helpful. She made planning this such a breeze and it definitely would not have been the same without her help. Our guests really enjoyed the views from the private room and having access to the balcony. The server we had that evening also was wonderful and made it an easy experience. I would definitely use them again for any private events.

Love amuse. Menu is creative. Food is great. Fun cocktails and good wine selection. Good for vegetarians and carnivores. Great wall of windows lets in plenty of light.

Took in Sunday brunch before visiting exhibition. Socially distanced and wait staff in masks. Small but diverse menu. Had lamb tostada and sweet potato and crab soup… both delicious. Great service and enjoyed lovely view of VMFA grounds through very clean window.
