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.

    Muse is constantly amazing. The menu has great variety, the food is fresh and delicious, and the whole staff makes you feel like royalty. We’ve been going there about every two months for years and we will continue for sure!

    Excellent service. Had multiple servers attend to us. Very helpful in explaining the entrees in detail and helping us decide. Our meals were excellent, one pasta and one scallops. Very interesting building with lots of character. We will be back.

    It appears that the chef was experimenting. The scallops were overpowered by the pesto and cheese. The arugula salad was overpowered by the cheese. The wall had peeling paint, the floor uneven and the table wobbled. The waiter slammed our salads down in a hurry and left.

    Amazing.. Started with the Bruschetta, Beet Caprese Salad followed by Tagliatelle Bolognese. Fantastic Wine pairing and an outstanding dessert- Flourless Chocolate Torte. We met Donny as he made his rounds. This is a must eat in Charleston, South Carolina.
