My husband and I visited here on Valentines day for lunch before going to the Giants exhibit. Elizabeth our server was amazing! We had great conversation the whole time and her food recommendations were great. We enjoyed the oysters, scallops, crab roll, and waygu steak. The mocktails were yummy We highly recommend and having Elizabeth to serve you. We look forward to returning again soon. Thank you

The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts features a cozy restaurant for a snack or a meal in Amuse. After spending time with inspiring and thought provoking art relaxing with a drink and pickle pot hit the spot. My companions wanted to move on but confessed they had eaten here before and praised the food.

I dined here on Valentine’s Day and unfortunately left very disappointed. The restaurant offered a fixed menu at $125 per person, and after taxes, gratuity, and a few extras, our total came to over $425 for two people. While the service itself was good — our server was polite and attentive — the food did not meet the standard expected at that price point. Multiple dishes arrived lukewarm and quickly became cold within minutes. Beyond the temperature issue, the food simply did not taste good. The flavors were underdeveloped, and the overall execution was underwhelming. For a pre-set holiday menu at this cost, temperature and execution should be impeccable. Additionally, the bar options were limited strictly to the drinks on the Valentine’s menu, which felt restrictive for a high-end dining experience. I frequently dine at upscale restaurants in the city and understand the premium that comes with special holiday menus. When done well, the food, ambiance, and overall experience justify the cost. Unfortunately, that was not the case Amuse!

One of the most underrated restaurants in Richmond. Every revolving menu has been great, but this Frida Kahlo inspired menu was phenomenal. The oysters, potatoes, crab cakes and lamb were amazing.

The food was out of this world…delicious AND beautiful! I also really like how it is themed with the new exhibit. Our waiter, Steve, was very attentive, taking time to converse and laugh with us, making sure that we received every dish ordered in a timely fashion and that each order was enjoyable.
Dining at the Amuse restaurant was a highlight of my recent trip to Richmond. Bravo to Chef Will and his amazing staff. You are in for a huge treat if you take time to dine at Amuse!

Between the view, food, and our waitress the entire experience was fantastic! Huge shout out to Elizabeth! She walked us through the menu and gave us great recommendations. She was so friendly and accommodating even on a busy Valentine’s Day weekend! She was amazing! Will definitely be coming back!

Small but exquisite menu, extensive spirit and wine list and intimate atmosphere. Definitely feels exclusive when you dine here. Great customer service. Seasonal menu that rotates. Great place for a special occasion such as an anniversary or birthday.

Thank you Amuse for making my anniversary lunch extra special. This approachable but upscale restaurant located on the 3rd floor of the VMFA gave my husband and I an elevated and elegant dining experience. I personally enjoy the restaurant because of its ever changing but always good menu. Our waiter was so sweet and decorated our dessert with a chocolate happy anniversary sign. Thank you for being a space filled with joy and good food.

We went there for a three-course meal on a Wednesday. Unfortunately, half of the dishes we had were a little subpar. The beef was okay, but we didn’t like the shrimp dish. We couldn’t know what to make of the sauce. The edamame wasn’t as good as we expected. The ambience, however, was lovely. The view of the sunset from the restaurant was amazing. The staff were also welcoming.
