About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
This Charleston locals’ favorite is nestled away in a historic home in downtown Charleston. The charming restaurant and intimate bar are reminiscent of a Mediterranean Villa, where Executive Chef, Josh Ogilvie, melds the cuisines of Italy, Spain, France, & Greece, featuring fresh preparations of Seafood, Fish, Savory Meats, Homemade Pastas, Homemade Bread, and Salads, all served by a warm and friendly serving staff. The extensive wine list complements the experience and offers 75 selections by the glass. The cozy bar empties out onto a terrace, offering outdoor dining and drinks. There are numerous menu items, which are gluten and dairy free and vegetarian, and there are vegan options as well.

    Food service was poor. No water salt or pepper on table. Brought wi e to table after huge delay. Dessert came 25 minutes after order. That don’t have good flow of table service with delivery. Building needs a good update felt dirt carpet on steps and overall needs money to put in testoration. Would not go back.

    It has been a while since I have had a total restaurant experience such as the one at Muse last evening. In a word it was simply lovely and Hunter was an outstanding waiter.

    This was our first visit to Muse and we were not disappointed. We sat upstairs which was our preference. Service was spectacular, it was a group effort by a number of servers. Our only issues, which did not affect our evening were: - The bruschetta, which was only four small pieces, were $16. Seemed expensive to us. - I had the veal saltimbocca which was very tasty but I thought it could have been pounded a little thinner. Overall, a very nice experience.
