Muse Bar + Bistro is a farm to table restaurant that specializes in its unique ingredients created to delight and amaze our guests. Each ingredient is chosen by our own executive chef to star in each of our irresistible recipes. All of our Founders have extensive knowledge of hospitality and with that knowledge they have created a training program for our staff to give each and every guest an amazing dining experience.
Founder
Aaron brings over 30 years' experience in hospitality, from dishwasher to Senior VP, Scotland to Florida, and many areas of hospitality in between. He wants to use his experience and gratitude for what hospitably has given him over the years to offer the chance to those who want to enter this amazing industry. In addition, Aaron is passionate about addressing food insecurity in this community.
"As a young man I was aimless and struggled. Hospitality afforded me the chance to travel, learn, grow, and ultimately run multi-million-dollar businesses. It welcomed me and helped give me a wonderful life. I wanted to give back to the community by giving that chance to others who may have no understanding, or a bad impression of what hospitality can do for them. In addition, with food insecurity and inflation at an all-time high, I wanted to help people feed themselves while giving them the dignity and honor of being served in a restaurant. This was the start of Muse Fights Hunger."
