We came for brunch on a Saturday and ordered three excellent dishes:…read more - Bacon Jam & Calabrian Chili Honey Pizza - Exceptional flavor, crispy, and well balanced - Mountain of Fries - While I'm partial to the thicker variety, these thin fries were top-notch. And it was truly a hulking mountain of fries! - Avocado toast - One of the best we've ever tried So we loved the food and the service was exceptional. And it was also very affordable - before tipping, we paid $61 for a three-person meal (3 entrées, only water). This is the best dining experience we've had in Mississippi so far. Highly recommended!

I really wanted to like this place, especially because we've been here numerous times…read more Unfortunately, each visit has been worse than the last lately. The service and food have been steadily declining, and it's starting to feel like they're resting on their morals instead of trying to maintain the quality they used to have. Our most recent visit was the final straw. The pizza arrived cold--not lukewarm, but actually cold. When I brought it to the manager, Spencer, he couldn't have cared less. He was rude, condescending, and talked to me like I was inconveniencing him by asking for basic, hot food. His attitude honestly reminded me of a used-car salesman during Covid--impatient, dismissive, and acting like he's doing me a favor by even acknowledging the issue. Between the cold pizza, the declining experience, and Spencer's disrespectful tone, we won't be back.

Just a chill atmosphere for some equivalently chill beverages. If you sit at the bar, be prepared to have a friendly chat with proprietor Joe, who also artfully crafted the menu. The offering features generous pours and generous deals at happy hour, which runs 4-6. Cocktails are the star here, although a thoughtful selection of select wine and beer awaits if that's your jam. Tonight, Sip It Trebek caught my eye and I'm glad it did. "What is bourbon with a fig liqueur and some bitters, Alex?" Bar Muse is one of those places you wish was near your home, no matter where home might be. Peace from the pace.

Drinks: We decided to purchase a bottle of Prosecco and we asked for all 3 mimosa juice mixers on the side to make our own mimosas.

There's outside seating and private rooms that I'd like to utilize next time I go. There was no wait time and it wasn't too loud like other restaurants at breakfast. Service: So kind, attentive, and patient! I'm not from the south but I felt like it was the epitome of southern hospitality. Our server was really great.It was great seeing the hotel and restaurant managers out and about and visible as well. Don't waste your time waiting 2+ hours for other breakfast and brunch restaurants.

The patio overlooking the Square has unbeatable views and scenery. Awesome place for an afternoon cocktail. Negatives - they were out of 3 draft beers. I tried to order the pulled pork sandwich and I was informed they don't make it any more and they were in the process of taking it off the menu. The smash burger I got was a joke (see my pictures). My waitress was nice just not very fast. If you are looking for a cool spot for a drink, this works. If you are looking for more of a culinary experience, go some place on the Square.
