Amuse is a seasonal, farm to table driven restaurant, located on the third floor of the museum. Whether you are dining in our main dining room, full-service bar, or our private dining room, you will be able to take in sweeping views of the Robins Sculpture Garden and the museum’s Cochrane Atrium. Our team works diligently to provide a menu that is directly inspired by the art-filled surroundings, current exhibitions, and seasonality while also carefully selecting only the finest ingredients from local vendors, artisans, and farmers. Just a friendly reminder that the museum does not allow balloons, confetti, glitter, plants potted with soil, and candles with open flames. If a date and time you seek for a reservation appears to be full, please give us a call so we can see what other times might be available.

Always serving great fresh unique dishes. The dining area is bright and open. The tables are always fully set with lovely dinnerware. The service is well timed and very efficient and couteous. Whether you walk over for a cocktail and small plate on the patio or go for evening out and a four course meal in the dining room, it is always a nice experience.

Our waiter, Brian, was very kind and provided lots of information on the dishes offered on the menu, as well as substitutes. Very good food and a very lovely date spot, indeed.

We had brunch here before and it was great, but that must be where they thrive because dinner was not it. From a cheese plate without a diverse variety to subpar and small entrees to the worst most sour dessert I’ve ever had, nothing lived up to the price tags or hopes we had. Very sad bc we paid for a babysitter and were celebrating my husband’s birthday.
