    Muphy's has been a favorite for years. Today I was reminded just why I keep coming back. The service was excellent (Thank you, Hannah!), the food was superb and beverages top-notch. I look forward to the next visit!

    Great brunch location. Bloody Mary was great as was the brisket hash. Service and food have always been outstanding. This is a great spot to take out of town guests.

    My family met up with my wife’s college roommates and had a blast reminiscing of their days together. Murphy’s provided the most excellent choice for location, the food and the ambiance was perfect. The staff attended to our needs and special requests without hesitation. Will most certainly return and encourage others too!

    Food and service were amazing though a bit too much salt in the Fusilli, felt like I'd drunk a gallon of seawater - but dang it tasted good! Sat on the covered outdoor area which was very nice until a private party showed up for a raucous birthday party and at that point it was impossible to hear my date across the table. Up until then it was quite enjoyable outside.

    First time here. My party ordered the halibut special. Pretty small portion for the cost. Same goes for the dessert; small portion albeit tasty.

    Murphy’s has been around forever, it seems, but the food and service are as good (or better) than ever. Yellowtail tuna on salad was properly rare, and the portions of tuna and avocado very generous. Great place for a midweek ladies lunch.

    Murphy's is a guarantee for quality, fresh food and service. We visited for Sunday brunch. The chicken and spinach burger was delicious as well as the pancakes and chicken sausage.
