    It was a lovely experience all in all, however, our food was cold when it was brought to us. And got even colder as we wanted to track our server down, to ask for maple syrup for our French toast.

    The food and service was excellent. I had forgot about how good the dinner menu was. For the past 10 years I had only attended brunch. There were 3 people in my party and we decided on the bass, brisket and the pork chop. Everything was delicious. We were nervousness when we saw how thick the pork chop was. We were expecting it to be dry. To our surprise, it was cooked just right. Very juicy. As was the brisket. The bass was like butter. The service was awesome. Our waiter was very knowledgeable with the menu and the wine. See you next time. Thanks.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. However, my friend had issues with hers. I liked and would recommend Murphy’s. I also appreciated their attempts to make accommodations for her satisfaction.

    As always, food is consistently good. We were seated in the outside tent area and they had heaters to keep it warm. Service was just a little slow but we were in no rush.

    STILL EXCELLENT! Our party of four celebrated a birthday at Murphy’s. The food, service and menu discussion with wait staff was on point. We all ordered something different from the brunch menu and all of it was fantastic and fresh. We will be back for another celebration soon I’m sure.
