The Muse - Wichita

Sunday brunch with a great view of the river. There were also several brunch specials too. Menu is simple. Lots of great brunch drinks. Started off with a new **** Mary that was the perfect amount of spice and new flavor, appetizer LABNE AND OLIVE TAPENADE along with bread and then BROCCOLI AND CHEESE QUICHE.

Interesting setup of a restaurant where you can tell the location was previously a cafeteria-style layout (area for picking up trays, counters for moving down the line), but they have converted it into a sit-down full-service restaurant without refurbishing the interior (just some reorganization). The lobby-space immediately outside of the restaurant appears to have been the old dining area, but looks to be a reception location for functions as when we went, they were setting up for a wedding. Smaller menu of sandwiches, salads, and omelets, small space, food took some time to arrive, service was good and refilled out drinks at a decent clip. Food was certainly adequate and fine, but not particularly memorable. Alcohol available, but did not partake.

My friend, our kids and I were greeted with Are your kids messy. We sit down at the table and she says Have you been here before? We replied with smiles on our starving faces no we haven 't! She says with smirk and pretentiousness yes, I can tell. Let me show you how this works. It 's easy. You see, everything we do here is art. When the food comes out, it is ART. This place, art... Then as she circles her face with her hand she says ART . Oh. Okay. Well, let us start with two spicy **** Mary 's. We waited almost 10 minutes for them. When they arrived, and I wish I could post a of picture of this so called ART because I laughed at the one stalk of celery which had brown wilted spots on the leaves and speckles of not-so-fresh all on it. Then the flavor was awful. We didn 't drink it. Now, the food I ordered was good, a swiss burger. But yet again I was expecting ART . They gave me a teaspoon of ketchup and a teaspoon of mustard in a small ramekin...ummmm ohhhhh I get it, it is ART .

Friendly, helpful, professional staff and the salmon is TO DIE FOR!!!!

Awesome food, great coffee, great service, great view, wonderful location! Treat yourself and go.
