Muse Restaurant & Wine Bar Review

If you want to go to Europe without going through customs or security, spend the evening at Muse, preferably on Thursday night when there is live piano music. Just off King, on a lovely historic block, it's a draw as much for its popular Wine Bar (which serves premium liquors and cocktails, too), where a charming bartender will give you a good pour and where more than 100 wines by the glass are offered. Then you can move on to your designated table in one of four dining rooms decorated in the styles of Greece, Italy, France, and Spain. Owner Beth Anne Crane recruited Chef Jason Houser, then the sous-chef at the famed Charleston Grill, to realize her dream. Expect a contemporary take on Mediterranean cuisine like sumac-rubbed duck breast with dates and pomegranate jus, or pasta with unsweetened cocoa, lemon ricotta, and pesto.
