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.

    One of our favorite restaurants. It's such a pleasure to be able to see an exhibit at VMFA followed by a delicious lunch in the same building!

    Started the meal with the complementary “craft” egg which was wonderful. We followed that with the Brussels Sprouts appetizer that were absolutely delicious. My main course was rockfish…meaty and full of flavor.
