With a subdued, elegant atmosphere and a menu offering a wide variety of Italian, Greek, and Levantine flavors, Muse has long been a favorite local pick for an evening escape. The crispy sea bass — deboned and lightly fried until the skin is crisp and golden — remains the regulars’ standby, and the rich entrées include hearty selections like gnudi in gorgonzola cream and roasted lamb over butternut squash purée. The comprehensive wine list has dozens of good selections by the glass, perfect for pairing with reliable small plates like the grilled duck breast rubbed with tart sumac and the merguez sausage with red peppers, fennel, and radish. A table tucked into one of the converted rooms of the old house is ideal for a relaxing evening meal, while the small wine bar in the front room is a promising spot for a quick bite and a glass of wine. —Robert Moss Dish (Winter 2013)
