MINIMUM CHARGE (PARTIES OF EIGHT OR MORE)
In order to provide the highest-quality culinary experience and to ensure our prospective customers have the opportunity to enjoy AMUSE in a timely manner, we have instituted a minimum-charge policy of $40 per person for parties of eight or more.

CANCELLATION POLICY
AMUSE requires 24 notice for cancellations. A fee of $40 per person may be charged if the booking is not cancelled in time for us to re-sell the table; the fee will be waived if we are able to re-sell the table prior to the time of the original reservation. The fee reflects the costs associated with staff, food and beverage, and the lost revenue that results from having to turn other bookings away.

Thank you for your understanding.
