Restaurants near Murphy Recreation Park

The presentation of the food is first class. I’m not an adventurous eater but I always find something on the menu that I like. Today I tried the filet mignon with marrow and the crisp lobster roll. The filet was done perfectly and the lobster with avocado was a taste combo I would never think to pair, but was outstanding! DJ got a little rowdy on us. The music was better suited to a dance club. Great tunes but too loud to allow dinner conversation. Service was perfection and I think we had a total of 5 waiters buzzing about like bees refilling the water glasses, asking how the meal was, etc. Just now I realize that it is a similar feeling that I get on cruises in the main dining hall. You’ve got one guy seating you, another guy getting you bread and water, another one taking drink orders, etc. Very attentive but not intrusive. The prices are high, as one would expect from a fine dining establishment, but probably worth it, based on the quality of the food and the visible effort that had to have gone into it. I would consider this restaurant any time I was celebrating something special.

It was Christmas Eve and what could be better than dining at the Publick House? Nothing! We were greeted warmly by the hostess and other staff members. The Christmas lights twinkled and the poinsettias gleamed as we walked through the beautifully decorated halls to our table. The bread basket was filled with corn bread and the delicious pecan rolls! The menu was diverse offering some specials for the evening. Turkey Dinner, Chicken Pot Pie and Prime Rib dinners all fantastic! Desserts yummy too! If you have a special event this is the place to go. Even for a lovely evening out any time of the year including lunch...you will not be disappointed!

Christmas Eve Brunch. Huge selection of breakfast & luncheon dishes. Omelets, Waffles & Pastas made to order. Beautiful, creative sweets. Service was attentive. Our favorites were the Eggs Benedict, Breakfast Sausage, & Pancakes. Will definitely consider returning for the Weekend Brunch.

Great and friendly service, excellent food, with a cozy ambiance.

Extremely quaint and well worth the visit. Food, service and ambience are superb. Very affordable and a great value for the portions and variety they offer. Owner is usually on site and very approachable; a family run business.
