   Dining at Amuse is always a pleasurable experience. My son & i dined there to celebrate his birthday & the service was exceptional. The food & cocktails were delicious. I absolutely loved the Frida Kahlo focus. They provided us with menus acknowledging his birthday & provided a free birthday sorbet dessert that made him feel extra special. The fact that our server remembered me from dining there frequently just added to the specialness of our dining experience. I absolutely love dining at Amuse. It will always be one of my favorite places to dine in RVA.

   All was excellent except it was a bit noisy where we were seated- lively conversation at the bar across from our table. Still a very pleasant lunch,

   As always, everything was perfect. It was a bit on the loud side, but that's to be expected on a Wednesday evening with Jazz playing on the first floor. Our service was impeccable, and the food was plated beautifully, delivered timely, and beyond delicious. One of my favorites for celebrations, I'll be back soon!

   We came for the Frida exhibit but stayed for a toasty cheese platter and wine. Delightful.

   They were excellent in accommodating our hearing impaired guests. Everything was perfect. We are all still miffed at the Nick and Nora glasses. Two of my friends said they would pay more for a normal size drink.

   We were disappointed. We used to come to Amuse regularly but not much recently. Food was over priced, service was so so. Virginia Mary drink was worst one I have ever had. I watched her make it. 3 fingers of Worcester and 3 fingers of tomato juice on ice.. That was it. Not very good. Meal was rushed. Not coming back

   Today was Easter Sunday. As busy as it was the service was excellent, and we were delighted with our server. Our meals were most enjoyable. Our wait time was minimal as we were at the first seating. As Amuse filled with diners, the noise level increased as one would expect on a holiday. Normally the noise level is peaceful for an early lunch. The view out the floor to ceiling windows is amazing. The pricing is fair. And the menu offers a range of choices that helps with affordability. Our we going back. Of course!

   Please do not go to Amuse or take guests there! (If you do, my wife and I may be disappointed in getting a reservation for ourselves and our guests and friends.) If you must know, this is one of the very best dining experiences in Virginia. But -- please -- do not let other folks know!

    The menu lacked depth and variety. Too expensive for the experience
