    We had 6p reservations for our 50th anniversary dinner and arrived early.. we decided to get a drink at the bar ( which was full and busy) took along time to be noticed by the busy bartenders and finally just before our dinner time got noticed and ordered our drinks. We were lead by our hostess June to a cosy booth and the table was decorated for our celebration dinner. We then were greeted by our server Sonya who was fun, efficient and attentive.. she and the “biscuit man”made our dinner even more enjoyable! Our first bite was the delicious tempura fins wing… this was followed by our entrees the Scalibut a GW Fins original .. this was superb!! And for my husband the American Red Fish, he wanted to lick his plate and my tasting bite made me envious even though my dish was so good! We finished our meal with the Salty Malty ice cream dessert.. we did lick the plate !! Best ever dessert!! And chef sent out two chocolate treats on a decorated plate!! All our choices were guided expertly by Sonja our knowledgeable and entertaining server! All in all it was a delightful celebration at an exceptional restaurant!!💕

    We had a lovely evening at Muriel’s. The service was excellent. My husband and I had the three course dinner. All the food was very good. My pecan crusted fish was outstanding. The drinks were delicious and creative. After our meal we were told that we could access the second floor bar. We enjoyed the ambiance and go great photos from the second floor balcony. Highly recommend!
