When I have a night out at a restaurant, I'm looking for three elements: food that isn't home style in essence and presentation; attention to detail; and, the surprise factor. Muse offers all three, and more. The menu choices for all three courses could only be the work of a talented, creative and expert chef; the presentation on the plate... More

Very nice ambience with a great view overlooking the helipad. There were only a few options for both starters and main to choose from. We ordered a snapper and pork belly which were both nice but what impressed us was actually their desserts! More

by definition, means without parallel, equal, or match; unequaled. This is definatley the word I would use when thinking of Muse Restaurant. The Food, the service, the atmosphere is all wonderfully exquisite and worth every dollar. Thankyou to the staff (Megan especially) for making me feel as if my enjoyment of the evening was of the highest priority, More

Our third and final restaurant for the weekend. We were attending a private function at Muse with 40 other guests. Could not fault the service from the time we were met outside and ushered to our group by friendly attentive staff until we left via a door opened for us by the same attentive staff, and a sincere wish to...

Muse ticks all the boxes, its ambience, service, food, wine list etc. Its certainly a romantic setting with an open fireplace. The open kitchen looks fantastic and the chefs work seamlessly with no stress. The food is out of this world and the service is so attentive. We have been to many hat restaurants in Sydney and Melbourne and rate... More

I have just returned from Muse for lunch which I flew into with Newcastle Helicopters - it was a spectacular way to arrive and it was just the beginning of a beautiful afternoon at a place I have been looking forward to going to for nearly a year.. We had a selection of meals from the menu, including two of... More
