About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Fancy
Donald McIsaac erected this beautiful three storey brick building in 1862-1864 on Sims Corner, so called because the property had been in the possession of Thomas and Charlotte Alchorn Sims from 1806.


The most colourful owner and occupant of the building was Mr. P.P. Gillis, who ran the “Red Pharmacy” between 1895 and 1910.


A drug-store in the front half of the building and a reputed conviviality shop in the rear, proved very popular with local businessmen while prohibition was in effect. This location has also been a large family home, apartments and a barber shop.


In the fall of 2005 local restaurateur Murphy's purchased the building and began the process of renovating to create what you are experiencing today.


Murphy Hospitality Group is proud to present you with Prince Edward Island’s first authentic Steakhouse, and “Atlantic Canada’s Premier Steakhouse Experience”.

    Upon making a reservation you're asked if there is any special occasion but a 60th birthday and special outing wasn't even acknowledged at any point of the meal. I asked for a quiet table and we were placed beside a table of 12 with kids and was in the main traffic flow area. Probably the least quiet table in the restaurant. The food was quite acceptable though.

    The ambience and the service were phenomenal! Our server was extremely diligent, knowledgeable and helpful. The Gouda-crusted tenderloin was beautifully done and extremely tender! Unfortunately the 10oz striploin Oscar-style (rare) was quite tough - server quality checked and we didn’t mention, as we still cleaned our plates! The flavour was fantastic, everything was seasoned exceptionally well. We’re from out of province and would likely return but opt for the tenderloin or a ribeye over a striploin

    From start to finish an amazing experience! The ambiance was sophisticated and warm. The food was AMAZING! I would highly recommend the seafood bruschetta. I would go there for this alone! The steaks we had were flavourful and delicious. They were cooked perfectly to order. This is a very special place. We will be back when in PEI again. Thank you!
