### MUSE Restaurant & Wine Bar
- **Rating**: 4.6
- **Reviews**: (1.7K)
- **Cuisine**: Mediterranean  
- **Price Range**: $$  
- **Location**: Downtown

The second is its Italian menu, including exceptionally executed classics like calamari and eggplant parmigana. But the biggest appeal here might just be Muse’s long-established regulars, the banter at the bar, and the relaxing dinner party vibe of the whole experience.
