Delicious food. Definitely home made goodness. Beautiful presentation in a soft calming atmosphere. Only one little muffin; however as we waited, and got them when I asked what was presented to two other tables. Drinks expensive but not as highly rated. Disappointed with the Bloody Mary. The drink was weak, watery and frankly small for the price. Definitely not worth the price. Did not meet the standards of the meal. Was our first experience. Will return to try other offerings. Pleased with our meals. Dessert size was tiny, but then only ordered one so not sure if it what we ordered or that is the serving size. There was a musician there, but never heard him in the hour and half we were there? !

Great experience as always! We needed to push our reservation back an hour the day of and Murphy's was able to make it happen no problem. Always such a great, smooth experience. Our crew loved the burrata, lobster cobb salad and Bonzo cake. Wednesday is half price wine bottles!
