But in the article  Samuel North  claims are reported as

His current business Muse Eatery & Bar on Victoria St was not connected to the liquidated business, he said.

It was owned by Catering Limited, of which he is the sole director.

Catering limited  was incorporated 03 Dec 2015    so   How could  Muse eatery  , owned by Catering limited   have won  the above awards  the news items clearly show that  these awards were for Muse on Allen?

Samuel was indeed very fortunate to have  Sarah Meikle as a friend  see here      read more about her  here Five Minutes with Visa Wellington On a Plate director Sarah Meikle.

the trip advisor reviews  https://www.facebook.com/MuseEateryBar/app/254084314702229/  are   coincidentally all those of Muse on Allen  see here

17 feb    Link  Muse has closed its Allen St doors, and is to reopen in Victoria St.

Muse On Allen restaurant has been at the address for three and a half years, but will reopen at 56 Victoria St, formerly home to 3C Bar and Restaurant.

Muse owner and director Samuel North says the new space offers the restaurant a chance to expand its services. 

Since opening the fine dining establishment as a 21-year-old, North has grown Muse into an award-winning success story.

When the restaurant reopens in the first week of March, it’ll be serving lunch for the first time in addition to dinner, with plans for a breakfast service, too.

Muse’s trademark purple decor will remain, as will its seven staff and favourite dishes such as the beef tartare, tuna sashimi, and creme brulee with doughnuts.

The high-ceilinged, bamboo-floored space in Victoria St is double the size of Muse’s original premises  more

Back in  2015 we saved the Muse on Allen page     the reality is the facebook  pages are the same  they have just been renamed happened when the restaurant shifted

by the way notice anything  about the Logos ?

now look at theat the bottom of this post you can see the  domain names  museonallen.co.nz    is registered at the  domain name registry   and shows this   full record saved for prosperity here “museonallen.co.nz” (Active) _ Domain Name Commission  is recorded to Malcolm@museeatery.co.nz

museeatery.co.nz   is the  web site which   Samuel Norths “new” restaurant uses

Samuel North uses the  email address samuel@muserestaurant.co.nz  his father Malcolm uses malcolm@muserestaurant.co.nz
this is what happens  when you look up muserestaurant.co.nz   or see the preserved  hard copy here “muserestaurant.co.nz” (Active) _ Domain Name Commission

Strangely enough the domain name was registered to Jozsef Szekely   who happens to be the person  who sank his life savings into Muse of Allen before being removed by  Samuel, Malcolm and Debbie north  as a director  see here 

Samuel then  transferred all of Jozsefs shares into his own name   in two steps   here and here   when no  corresponding transaction had occurred in the actual company books  and  when Jozsef was the only person to have  equity in the company see here   this is   why there was a  court  matter  “After court North said his the debt stemmed from a legal battle he had with a business partner when Muse first opened” Jozsef basically took offence to being ripped off to the tune of $64,000.    strange that the bill to IRD is about that size  .. coincidence ?

we do hope that the liquidators  look at the  accounts closely    we are not book keepers  but  the accounts for Muse on Allen  certainly appear to have  more than one issue.

we don’t know what you think  but  we are pretty certain that muse on Allen and Muse eatery are one and the same  .
