Muse

Couldn't have asked for a more wonderful NYE meal and can't wait to go back again! The food was plentiful and absolutely delicious. The ambiance was romantic, cozy, and upscale. Service was impeccable. Firing on all cylinders especially given how new this restaurant is! All of the accolades are well deserved.Unsure if these items are on the regular menu but highlights were:+ Brioche feuilletee (croissant and a dinner roll had a baby and it's to DIE for, don't skip the butter either)+ Veal bonbon+ Vanilla St Honore+ Chocolate Tart (desserts here DO NOT MISS!!!)Highly recommend for a date night or even a girls dinner!

A hot and new French restaurant on W. Channel Rd. right next to Giorgio Baldi. This is very close to the Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades border and it's honestly one of the most beautiful parts of Los Angeles. The food taste and quality is very high, but the portion sizes are quite small. I love the design on the inside, it feels like the 1930s but in a really upscale way. Our server and the rest of the staff were extremely polite and very welcoming. The menu is à la carte and they do have a ton of options on it. They don't have a dedicated parking lot and street parking is difficult to find in this part of town so the best option is valet for $15.As mentioned the food is honestly delicious but the portion sizes are quite small. It's a great place for a celebration or a date, but not someplace I would choose if my goal is to be as full as possible. We started off with the Roasted Beet Salad, Lobster Soufflé, And the Hamachi Crudo. Of the three the Hamachi Crudo was the star and had tremendously fresh flavors. The Beet Salad was also very nice and refreshing; it would make a great summer dish. The Lobster Soufflé was good in flavor but honestly super small. About the size of a quarter. It was three quick bites and then done. More so a finger food that you would get at a cocktail party. I would recommend the Beet Salad and the Hamachi, but I would skip on the Lobster Soufflé. For entrées, we chose the Rack of Lamb (most reviews mentioned this is a must and we agree) and the special for the evening which was Black Truffle Risotto. The risotto was absolutely fabulous and covered in black truffles. It was a bit expensive for $80, but the flavors were wonderful. The Rack of Lamb was probably my favorite dish of the night because it was cooked perfectly, and seasoned well. I wish it would've came with a side dish or salad, but I really enjoyed what I had. Finally for dessert we finished off with the Vanilla St. Honoré and we were big fans of it. The caramel and vanilla flavors really mixed well and we loved every part of it.Overall a really delicious and trendy French restaurant in a beautiful part of town. It would perfect for a date or a celebration and I was honestly very impressed with the meal. Portion sizes are small and the pricing is steep, but I feel that it is worth it.

You know a restaurant is good when you're already thinking about the next time you'll be back. I absolutely loved this place, everything about it was well thought out and you can tell the owners made it with love. From the stunning interior to the friendly fine dining service and amazing food, easily one of my top meals of the year. - Brioche feuilletée with softened Bordier butter: best bread and butter. So flaky and tender. A must get. - Hamachi with yuzu olive oil & Calabrian chili coulis: melt in your mouth, comes with 6 pieces.- Saffron risotto, lobster & gremolata with lobster glace: amazing, the lobster was perfectly cooked. Although it was pricey, it's worth trying.- Pommes purée with rosemary: Creamy and the rosemary was infused so well. A standout side. - Tiramisu: amazing - they scoop it out right in front of you- Mango passion fruit sorbet: refreshing Small inside but such a great vibe, it takes you out of LA and felt more like you're eating dinner in London. The details are amazing and the staff is so so nice. Valet parking out front for $17 with cash.

What an exquisite restaurant! I was recommended by a friend who just raved about this restaurant. Made a reservation about 2 weeks for my birthday celebration.Ambiance- cozy atmosphere, beautifully decorated. Started with the Voyant Spritz/ fabulous! Ordered the roasted beets, hamachi, Branzino, broccoli and roasted carrots/ all delicious. Portions for the veggies were kind of small. I noticed the table next to me ordered the filet mignon which I will be ordering next time. Dessert was tiramisu with a candle! And when I left, the server presented me with a box of macarons. I met the owner Fardad and he couldn't have been nicer- a fellow Trojan! Muse is a very special dining experience, I highly recommend and I look forward to returning to this neighborhood gem!

Wow! What an amazing experience at Muse! Came here for a date night and it exceeded our expectations. Everything we ordered was delicious and flawless but the one dish we can't stop talking about is the Eggplant Cappelletti with gruyere and madeira caramel. It was so good that we contemplated ordering two more but were too full after the steak and lamb entrees. Dessert presentation left us in awe and ended up ordering 3: The St Honore, Strawberry Tart, and Tiramisu. I will be dreaming of all these for a long time until I can make my way back to Muse. Service was amazing and was shocked to learn they had only opened for 5 weeks. Our waitress, Allison and rest of the team offered top notch service. The owner and USC Alum, Fardad made his way to introduce himself and is the nicest guy ever. It felt like we were right at home. I think Muse is on its way to a Michelin and can't wait to bring our friends and family to our new favorite spot!

Muse restaurant is really amazing! The food and deserts are unbelievably delicious and beautifully presented. The servers are very attentive, pleasant and quick in their job. It's really a French vibe and ambiance; cosy with warm and friendly feeling. Especially that Fardad one of the two brothers who are the owners; serves the main dish himself with such a sweet smile and professional manner. It is like he likes to welcome and connect with people eating in his "Home". I have not met Nikdad who does the baking. Though I am sure he is also very young and nice. This place has become my favorite restaurant! If you like to try it, make sure make your reservation way ahead as they get booked and full fast. Enjoy :)

Delicious food, loved the interior design, and the service was perfection. The owner was there greeting all the customers. Can't wait to go back!

What an incredible meal! We were blown away from the moment we were greeted at the front door. The decor is polished and intimate without feeling stuffy. And they had a great playlist going. Now for the food... ! To Begin: We started with the bread which is unreal - essentially a croissant but done in a different shape. The pastry chef starts his day at 4am and you can feel his dedication. First Course: We shared the hamachi, lettuces and one canapé between 4 of us. The execution was impeccable along with the flavors. Hamachi was silky in texture and I really enjoyed the sauce combo. For the canapé style dish we did the veal bonbon with another fantastic sauce. 2nd Course: Lobster risotto and eggplant cappelletti. I could have ordered a 2nd of the eggplant dish it was so delicious. The lobster in the risotto was creamy and delicious. 3rd Course: We shared the lamb and branzino. Again the cook on all proteins was perfect. You can see and taste the French style cooking without it being overwhelming and leaving you feeling heavy. Dessert: We couldn't leave without ordering the St Honore. It was just as decadent and delicious as the photos. This was one of those dinners where we all left wanting to go back and try other things on the menu. So excited for this new restaurant!!!

This was our second time dining here and I cannot say enough about how impressive it is. We arrived early and were greeted outside by name and recognized for our prior visit. We were seated at a lovely table in the corner and had another spectacular meal. I could go on about the world class food, the stunning decor and the outstanding service, but having done that last time, I would rather take the opportunity to give credit to the overall warmth and kindness the entire staff shows. From ownership on down to the floor staff, the team is the best I have ever seen. The personal touches we were given left us overwhelmed. If you haven't been here yet, I cannot suggest it more highly. This is the best restaurant in LA.
