Brunch at Murphys is always delicious! Service is always wonderful. And the price is right probably the cheapest brunch on King Street. One person had the seafood omelette, which was delicious! Another had the Irish country breakfast, which was absolutely delicious. Eggs were cooked to perfection. And our third person had waffles and bacon, and they were terrific too.

I loved everything about it except the music was too loud. There was music playing within the restaurant and then the band started and it was even louder. Its hard to talk to my friends at my table when I feel like I have to yell. Wonderful service and great food.

We had a great experience here celebrating my promotion. Ambiance, music, food, and drinks were on point. Great place for our large party of 14. We were kind of tucked away, which made it more intimate. Service was good and they even gave me a complimentary dessert in celebration of my promotion. Lena's never disappoints!

First time visiting the study, and we will definitely be back! Our server Rodney made sure that we were comfortable with the menu and offered suggestions which we took every one of. Manny, the bartender also offered a warm welcome. His cocktail list was seasonal, fun, and well crafted. AJ the dessert cook brought us his pana cotta as a surprise. Chef sent out a fun amuse bouche. Great atmosphere, service, and food 10/10!
