" We enjoyed a birthday dinner at Muse, and it was all we hoped for and more. The staff were incredibly friendly and Donnie really made us feel special, customizing our dishes based on our preferences. The food was rich and packed with flavor. Donnie's expertise shone through in every recommendation. The environment was intimate, perfect for a celebration, and our meal ended with a fantastic dessert that was the icing on the cake for a perfect evening. Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thrilled to finally try Muse after hearing so many rave reviews! The atmosphere was perfect—cozy and warm, making it a great date night spot. Our server, Donnie, was incredibly knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations. The food was delicious, though I wish the portions were a bit bigger considering the prices. I had high expectations and overall, it was a wonderful experience! I’ll definitely be recommending Muse to my friends visiting Charleston. " (*Curated Review*)

" Muse was such a delightful surprise during our family visit to Charleston! We were unsure of what to expect, but the ambiance truly captured the essence of Southern charm. Our server, Donnie, went above and beyond to curate a family-style meal for us, which included an array of appetizers that everyone enjoyed. The highlight was the eggplant lasagna—it was rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. While our meal took longer than expected to arrive, it was clear that each dish was crafted with care. The experience, overall, was memorable, and we're excited to return next time we're in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of visiting Muse during my recent trip to Charleston, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The cozy ambiance of the historic home immediately set a lovely tone for the evening. Our server, Donnie, approached us with a fun and welcoming demeanor, asking about our preferences and allergies. We opted for the chef's choice, and every dish was magnificent. My personal favorite was the duck breast appetizer, which was exquisite. The overall experience was enhanced by the attentiveness of the staff, who made sure we were enjoying ourselves throughout the night. I highly recommend Muse; it truly feels like dining with family! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having heard so much about Muse, I decided to give it a try. The food is undoubtedly delicious, but I sensed a bit of inconsistency during my visit. While some dishes like the fried artichokes dazzled with flavor, others—like the bolognese—lacked the rich depth you’d expect from a reputable Italian restaurant. Our server, Donnie, had an infectious energy that certainly enhanced our experience, but the pacing of our meal could have been better. Overall, it’s still one of the more charming spots in Charleston, but I’ll need to give it another try to see if my experience improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great dining experience at Muse! The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between formal and intimate. The food was delightful, and it felt like we were being treated to a culinary masterpiece. Donnie was incredibly knowledgeable and made us enjoy the entire evening, albeit a bit rushed towards the end. Still, a lovely experience overall, and I look forward to coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our recent anniversary dinner at Muse was one for the books! Donnie surprised us with a spectacular selection of shareable dishes that were all exceptional. From the fresh appetizers through to the decadent desserts, everything tasted delightful. I also appreciated the staff's attentiveness to detail—each dish was served with care and flair. The ambiance added to the romantic evening, making it feel as though we were dining in Italy rather than Charleston. I've found my new favorite spot—can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
