THE MUSE BAR FULL

The décor has soft muted colors, grey and dusky pink, set off by autumn tones and natural wood in the seating. The Muse is arranged as a cozy inside space, with a second glass-walled space that overlooks the plaza outside. Seating is arranged with a mix of bar stools, and high and low seating. The cocktail list is well worth checking out.

We would love to try the Beetroot and Parmesan Risotto, the escargots, the Coconut Fried Shrimp and some of those tempting sandwiches.īeverages options include a full bar with cocktails, beer and wine. Other Menu Options that Appealed & Beverages Available Sound good? It was… Well-fed and relaxed, we spent a while chatting and enjoying the ambience before heading home. The dessert on offer that day was a creamy vanilla ice-cream drizzled with butterscotch sauce, resting on an almond and biscuit crumb and set off by a delicate tuile. Both hit the spot, but we did think that the mushroom option came out a winner. With several to choose from, we went for the Green Herb and Sundried Tomato version, and a classic favorite, Mushroom Risotto. When prepared correctly, it is a dish to treasure. When it came to a main course, we couldn’t resist going for risotto. We had asked for the option of fresh mango chutney as a condiment, and the elements paired up perfectly. Innovative and delightful! The camembert was oven-baked, hot, oozing and irresistible. The dainty rolls of salmon came stuffed with a creamy, herb accented filling, with a garnish of prunes, strawberry and harankash. The salmon tapas were a treat, both for the eyes and the palate.

Mojito and Passion-fruit Mojito duly delivered, we browsed through the menu and opted for Stuffed Salmon Tapas and Baked Camembert to start. Settling into the mood, we started off by ordering something to sip on. Signature dishes include Grilled Sliced Beef, Escargots de Bourgogne, Risotto International, with a wide range of nibbles and starters, along with pasta and risotto dishes, sandwiches, salads and signature steak and chicken options. With that in mind, we headed down to The Muse in Guezira Plaza, one of the new restaurants in Sheikh Zayed. Oftentimes the classes are REALLY close together so if you get assigned a painting that takes a long time for the class to paint, the class can run over its slotted time and push into your prep time for the next class.When Thursday evening rolls around, we just feel like kicking back, grabbing a bite and a cool drink, and letting the weekend vibe take over.

As soon as you finish one class, you will be busy prepping for the next. When those days come that you have to teach 3 or 4 classes in a row, you will be working for 12 hours with no breaks. Additionally, the hours will tend to take up all day of the weekends so if you plan to have freetime on weekends for friends or family, unfortunately that's when you will be busiest. The inconsistent hours can be really rough, even for a part time position. The managers get guaranteed full-time, so if classes drop off the manager will still be good while you can go a long time without getting assigned a class to teach. You might get slotted in for a 10-12 hour shift on Saturday or Sunday, but you'll never get much higher than 25 hours a week.

If you aren't a store-level manager, don't expect to get a ton of hours.

Store-level managers in general are pretty good and do their best for their store. They never seem to have it together and send mixed communications.
