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.

    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.

    We regularly eat at Amuse when we visit. It is always consistently good food, a lovely ambiance and friendly, efficient service. The menu selections are varied and well executed. I highly recommend visiting Amuse when you visiting VMFA or Virginia Museum of History & Culture.

    Everything from start to finish was delicious! Best fried oysters and the chocolate tartlet was amazing! Had the chicken and dumplings - great flavor. The staff was very attentive and helped make the evening a thoroughly enjoyable evening!

    The oysters are always a perfect choice. The seasonal apple salad with granola is perfectly dressed and absolutely delicious.
