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.

    Wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion. Every staff member from hostess to waiter helped to make our birthday celebration enjoyable. The food was SPECTACULAR. We tried two different appetizers, sweet potato and a beets dish and loved each one. We also tried the butternut squash soup and the braised beef rib and they were excellent. I highly recommend trying this place!

    I got a vegetarian dish that was a very small serving and may have cost approximately $1.50 to make. Yet I was charged over $20 for this dish. This is why I cannot say I received a good value for my money. My companion had a very nice chicken sandwich. The ruby port and desserts were delightful!

    The food was tastefully and cleverly presented. All dishes were delicious. Our view was lovely and the scoop of birthday wish ice cream was a lovely touch.
