About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
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”.

    The service was excellent. Staff were very accommodating especially when we asked to move inside from the patio. My only complaint was my fish was slightly overcooked.

    Great food, great service, great ambiance. Was just a bit pricey if I was going there regularly. It was our wedding day (elopement) and we wanted to have a memorable dinner together and we did. For this occasion i spared no expense for my bride. We will be back next summer and we shall try to come back on our first anniversary.

    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.
