Muse Restaurant & Wine Bar

Excellent experience! Our server anticipated every need and want. The food was delicious. We loved everything about our time there!

From the second we checked in till we closed the place down we had excellent service. Donnie was amazing server. From wine recommendations, meal ideas, and dessert choices he didn't steer us wrong. As a group we tasted many dishes. All well seasoned and beautifully prepared. We were able to cut up, have fun, and enjoy our time without being hushed. Definitely recommend you check this spot out. Make sure to make reservations.

Planning a bachelorette party dinner for 14 women is no easy feat — I was sweatin' it a bit. But after a recommendation from a friend, I called up Muse and spoke with Donnie, the owner, about the situation. Donnie put me at ease in terms of budget and how the evening would flow, and, indeed, he delivered. The space is eclectic, homey, and warm — like the townhouse of your eccentric aunt who's been to Europe a time or 10. Seating can be a bit tight, but then again, we had a group of 14. Even though our group was split into two different tables, we were kept right next to each other the timing of dishes and drinks stayed in sync with both groups throughout the night. The best part? He took the ordering off of our hands, doling out appetizers (the mussels and duck were winners!), pasta dishes (the short rib won us over, but all of it was perfectly cooked), and drinks that suited our tastes. Several people in our group had serious food allergies, and Donnie assured us that they'd adhere to strict standards for dairy and gluten allergies. Two words: Nailed. It. Donnie's a self-effacing charmer — hilarious, but also serious about the food and experience. He gifted our group a couple bottles of bubbles and sent us off with one of the best toast speeches I've heard in a minute. Had every single woman there charmed and begging to have him come out and party with us afterwards! And, he kept things miraculously under budget! Thanks for the good time, Donnie — we'll be back!

Excellent food and drinks !! Delicious and very flavorful dishes :) highly recommend!

Definitely one of the best restaurants in Charleston. I was with a large group (10+) and we all left overjoyed and raving about the atmosphere and taste of the drinks and dishes. Between all of us in the group we tried a majority of the apps and entrees and we cleaned the plates and were in awe of the unique ingredients flavors. Donnie was our server and we don't have enough good things to say about him. Within the first 10 minutes he knew us all on a first name basis and gave the best recommendations. Highly recommend getting a reservation for your next dining occasion. Vegetarian options: They were very accommodating with the vegetarian options. Although there was not many labeled as vegetarian on the menu, our server made recommendations and made specialty dishes that were incredible!

Excellent restaurant that may not have the outside finesse you expect but don’t let that stop you as it has great food and amazing service from Don the owner. Highly recommended.

I will always make sure to go here anytime I come to Charleston. The servers we had (Gabby & Donny), were absolutely phenomenal! Donny took the wheel and picked out our apps, entrees, and based on our liquor preferences, our drinks. Completely nailed it. The vibe and atmosphere were great! I loved every second of our dining experience! The food was stellar (highly recommend the duck app and the sea bass entree), cocktails were divine (Blueberry gin martini), & dessert was also amazing! Wonderful staff, great atmosphere, and exquisite food!

Charming restaurant with good Italian menu. Outdoor seating is a nice option.
