    Great birthday dinner. Wish we weren’t seated right next to the big party room. It was sometimes hard to hear.

    Stop changing the dishes that everybody likes. The chicken is not as moist as it use to be. The ceasar salad was bland. Where was the cheese and dressing!! The salmon had no seasoning. The Brussels sprouts were good but too sweet. We were coming on a regular but now looking for another spot to host girls night.

    Consistent as always! Very busy, so a bit noisier than usual. Linda’s omelette was good, but 3 ordered for table and 1 did not have any cheese (not requested without)

    Great for a large celebration. Service excellent. Some of the egg dishes a bit watery and bland. Muffins and sandwiches very good. This is our second time back in a few weeks.

    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!
