Muse at Sentry — Restaurant in Stevens Point

My husband and I ate here for our anniversary this past weekend. I hadn’t been to Muse since it rebranded from @1800 so I was excited to see the changes.

My first impression was the restaurant was fancy and had nice lighting but the seating arrangements were oddly not private at all. I sat across from my husband and had couples a few feet away on either side of us. You could tell there was white noise but it actually made it very hard for me to hear my husband while I could hear the couples on either side of me quite clearly. It was also quite cold.

Service was very good however I understand that it’s all about the experience so from sit down to check we were there for about 2 hours.

We started with drinks and were offered a sample of a new little dish with a cracker, goat cheese and caramelized onions which was so good! We also ordered the special shrimp appetizer and it was certainly the best shrimp we’d ever had. For the mains, we ordered the roasted sweet corn Caesar salad, the elk chop, and the pork pasta. There was a little miscommunication because the salad came out as an appetizer and it was super tiny which ended up being fine because it was nothing special. The pork pasta was bizarre. It was more of a pork soup and basically had zero flavor. The elk chop was amazing and was cooked perfectly. The bread service and mashed potato gratin were also excellent.

We love dessert and though none of the desserts looked good, we ordered the apple coffee cake. I’m not exaggerating when I say this was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Cake was dry and the nutmeg and cinnamon are so overpowering it burned my mouth a little. Honestly a disgrace to desserts and should be taken off the menu. This put a big damper on the entire meal.

Final note-after the first course, I began to feel a little off and I did get fairly sick that evening into the next day. I have a sensitive stomach but I’ve never had issues with high end restaurants.

I’m not against giving this place another chance but I need to emotionally recover from the dessert disappointment so it...

I lived in Denver for a few years where I was introduced to "finer" dining and since moving back to Wisconsin, I've been missing such an experience. My sister stumbled upon this restaurant on TikTok and much to my excitement, it was located in Stevens Point!

I basically was in love walking into the dining room. Soft lighting, not noisy. Our hostess was pleasant and friendly. I'm gluten-free and don't drink alcohol and there were plenty of options/modifications that could be made for me.

Everything was absolutely delicious. The pre-dinner sampling was a blackberry tea with a watermelon radish - it was so good I meant to ask if I could get a full glass of the tea! The scallops were in the top 3 of best I've ever had. And my pork chop dish was mouth watering from start to finish. I know I sound extra but it's been two years since my last fine dining outing and this was EXACTLY what I was looking for.

I also cannot recommend the Earl Grey Creme Brulee enough. What an exquisite taste and my twin was slightly envious she had not ordered it for herself after taking a bite. I did have a few bites of her White Chocolate Cheesecake with blueberry compote and lemon curd - and that was most certainly another excellent option. Both desserts were also gluten-free!

It truly was a delightful time and memorable for our birthday. Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable, and her lighting candles on our birthday desserts was the cutest thing ever. 100% I will be bringing my friends and...

My husband and I came here for our anniversary, and our waitress made the experience so special. They set flowers on our table because we told them it was our anniversary. We were given drink and appetizer samples that were incredible, and she even brought out a nonalcoholic drink sample replacement for me since I told her I was pregnant and couldn’t have the first option. Dinner was delicious (handmade pasta dishes - yum!!!) and reasonably priced, the atmosphere was intimate and romantic, and the free dessert for our celebration was phenomenal. We will definitely be back for future...
