My wife and I went for my birthday. I am a big fan of all things meat. As such, this was exactly the birthday I wanted. The cocktails, meat, offerings, dessert, ambience, service and everything else were exactly what I wanted. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Manny's was fantastic as usual. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary last night and at the end of the meal, they brought us a piece of cake the size of a tube TV on the house. Their customer service is unmatched.

We went to celebrate a family member's retirement and going to Oceanaire really made it special. The food and drinks were amazing, and it was fun to try out different things with a bigger group. Our server was knowledgeable and made the experience fun. We'll definitely be back!

Murray’s is our favorite family restaurant! We visit Murray’s every year before we attend the Nutcracker at the State Theater around the corner. The service, food, ambiance, and value is absolutely outstanding! All the staff is warm, friendly, courteous, and kind. We did not wait long for our selected menu items to be served and they were simply delicious. I highly recommend Murray’s restaurant as a new or return guest!
