I've been coming here for years. The food never disappoints. Lindsay (seemed to be wearing many hats...server, hostess, bartender) is a pro. I own a restaurant and want to hire her! .

Went here for Easter Brunch. The food and service was exceptional. Lindsay was so kind and attentive to our table. Food was fresh and came out hot. Excellent experience and can't wait to come back! 5 Stars!

My party and I experienced a significant breakdown in the service that left us feeling frustrated and dissatisfied. Upon our arrival, the hostess seemed completely clueless as to how to properly seat guests. Despite her assurance of a 15-minute wait, she failed to keep us informed and we were left waiting with no communication. Once we were finally seated, we waited an additional 10 minutes without any service. When I approached the hostess to inquire about our wait, she seemed unaware of our presence and even asked where we were sitting, despite the small size of the restaurant. The lack of communication and attention continued as we waited for our waitress, who instead engaged in conversation with the manager. Overall, the experience was extremely disappointing and reminiscent of a Bar Rescue stress test fail. Regrettably, this level of service has left us with no desire to return to Cafe Muse in the future.

I have never gotten a bad meal or service here. It's one of my favorite stops when I'm in town.Parking: "Back in" only street parking.

This was my second visit here. The first time seemed better, which is why I came back. This time wasn’t as appealing. While the food was good, I didn’t realize how small the portions are for the price. I tried the Hawaiian mimosa, it was delicious. The seafood grits were great (aside from the crab or shrimp shell that made its way in there) but would have been better if it were more to enjoy. The portion size was tiny. I love the ambiance and atmosphere. Perfect for a brunch date. But not if you’re hungry! The service was good! Very polite and professional.

The service was shockingly bad. This might be the reason there wasn’t a wait for our table on a Sunday morning. Waited over 15 minutes until we were asked if we wanted coffee, which didn’t arrive at the table until we were actually eating our food. Didn’t see our waitress again until we got up to look for her. She then began complaining about being under staffed. Oh, and for this there is a mandatory tip on the bill.

Understaffed. Terrible experience. And tip automatically added to the bill. Sadly this will be my last time visiting.

Terrible service due to being understaffed. Lots of excuses. Food was okay. Won't be back. Too bad, used to be so good.

Service was nice and the waitress was very pleasant. Ambiance isn't bad at all. However, certain food items weren't good at all. I had the mushroom scramble, the eggs taste as if they mixed milk with them to make them fluffy but instead they taste watery to me and the mushrooms were gummy. I could not understand how the mushrooms had such a gummy consistency. This is my food as I am about to leave I didn't bother to eat it. The toast was very good and they only give you about less than a half full of potatoes however they too were good. I didn't like how the waitress noticed the plate consisted of all of the eggs and mushrooms and didn't ask "how did everything taste" noticing I had picked over the foo

Interesting place. Staff is kinda rude but the food is good enough. They add on a 20% gratuity automatically no matter the party size, so keep that in mind, and I don't think we will be back unfortunately.

Now the place is open from 4:00 to 9:00 pm with delicious Mexican cuisine, is incredible tasting, the fish tacos! So good. I almost cry ? the Tortilla soup is spectacular, and the desserts are out of this world.Since they just start opening for dinner the restaurant called "Café de Olla" (coffee from a pot) the place is not busy at all, and we were lucky to enjoy all this wonderful dishes with a tasty margarita and a great Sangria.You have to try this new spot in a usual place.

Good, not great. Very difficult to get a cup of coffee, let alone a refill, making it a questionable breakfast spot. The waffles were excellent, but the scrambled eggs seemed highly processed. Meh.

Very cute, small cafe with limited choices, but they were vegan, which was a blessing and tasted really good. Prices were a little high, but that comes with the territory of good vehan food. Waitress was extremely pleasant. Cafe gaveoff good vibes... we will be
