"We were a party of four doing the Chef's Spring Tasting menu. It was faaaabulous: kale salad, gnocchi, flat iron steak and creme brulee. Each of the dishes was the best it could be. The kale salad had a big kale chip on top (yum!) and a bright lemon vinaigrette. The gnocchi was by far the best gnocchi I've ever had -- in fact the only gnocchi I have ever loved. They were little fluffy pillows of Italian love with goat cheese. Soooo good."

"Owner, chef, Hari is a true artist! The food is creative without being pretentious. Flavors are amazing. The service is fantastic. Excellent cocktails and wine. Trying the 6 course tasting menu with wine pairing is a must. We planned coming to Rehoboth around having dinner at this restaurant. That good!"

"We had the four course tasting and everything was perfect. Chef Hari was personable, friendly and incedibly talented. We had been there once before and thought that our very particular friends would like it a lot so we came back with them. They were blown away and couldn't stop raving about how good the food was. We've never heard them react that way before and we've eaten out quite a bit with them. We highly recommend (a) Muse to anyone that enjoys really good food."

"Maybe an off night and I had high hopes but food was just ok. Service needs improvement and ambiance would not bring me back. Overall, I like the tapas concept and food descriptions sounded great but everything except the bread & olive oil and the foie gras, as one of our first courses, was a letdown. Had octopus, goat cheese on toast, cauliflower ( was not cooked enough) and also shared fish dish. Good wine choices."

"I'm a serious foodie and I was impressed with the six course tasting menu. Every flavor was unique in some way and the ingredients were fresh and local. We also chose to add the wine pairing and each wine worked thoughtfully with the food course. We had perhaps a bit more wine than necessary, too. From amuse bouche to dessert, every course was a taste sensation. Elderflower sauce, flash frozen buttermilk, brown butter crumbs--they all sound more like El Bulli than Rehoboth. We already have a return reservation to test Chef Hari's imagination! Thank you, Amuse."

"We visited twice during our3-night stay in Rehoboth. On our first visit, we did a 4-course tasting menu, using a half-price coupon from the restaurant. With an amuse bouche at the start and an added cheese course this was more like 6 courses!. Every dish was unique and flavorful. The same was true on our second visit when, as in the past (we had eaten there twice previously), we ordered a la carte. This time, we finished with "dessert" at the bar, enjoying the company and the bartender, David. Chef Hari is cooking imaginative dishes that would cost far more elsewhere (think Cityzen in DC, or Inn at Little Washington). The ambience is definitely "beach," but that does not take away from the food."

"The food was excellent with an emphasis on fresh farm to table selections. The chef was willing to accommodate my "picky" needs, which I've often found to my untrue in similar places. However, it was the service and relaxed atmosphere that will have me return."

"Like many other not-quite-top places in Rehoboth this site has been home to different names and chefs over the years. This time though the chef is getting good reviews and the food is showing it. It’s a bit more sophisticated than the locals are use to, especially with their use of the latest hip ingredients and cooking techniques. Some I never heard of like duck tongues (yes I said duck tongues) which were actually very good. But the egg appetizer, cooked sous-vide, was not as good as I've had in NYC. But over all they pulled it off. Service was very good, not perfect. The room has not changed much since the new group took it over and is quite nice."

"This is the best dinner the 4 of us have eaten in Rehoboth in at least a year. That's quite a statement considering the wonderful dining choices in downtown Rehoboth. Unique combinations that truly worked well together. Everything was cooked to perfection and all ingredients were fresh.
Good martinis, too! We got two deserts-one was quite good but we didn't care for the other, the 60 second cake.

Our service was outstanding. Knowledgeable waiter Nick offered just the right amount of help and service. I dropped a bit of raspberry sauce on my top and Nick was there was club soda in about 20 seconds, without me asking."

"This was our second visit. Despite the work that goes into these dishes, this is reasonably priced in comparison with restaurants of similar caliber in the big city. Chef Hari is superb, and it is no wonder he is a semi-finalist for the James Beard Best Rising Chef award."

"Food was very good. Was disappointed they do not offer the tasting menus on their website anymore. Went there with the purpose of trying their 11 course menu of small (tasting size) plates. Instead we ordered off the menu. If you're going to try them for something specific, I highly recommend calling to check the status, as their website is out of date."

"Food and service were both outstanding. Started at the bar with Dave. The drinks absolutely wonderful and he made spending $11.00 a drink well worth it. When we were seated, Dave brought our drinks to the table while our waiter brought fresh, hot homemade bread and water. I had the pork cheek and my honey had the scallops. Both were terrific and skillfully plated. Hari Cameron is a genius. He even came out of the kitchen to welcome us and talk about the food. We recommend this new restaurant to everyone who enjoys great food and service."
