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”.

Food was very tasty, loved the seafood bruschetta appetizer. Service was very good, efficient and friendly. Steak was quite chewy, but flavourful!

From the time we arrived, we were got in the door, we were welcomed by friendly smiling faces with cheery demeanour. Perfect atmosphere for a lovely dining experience. The staff was more than accommodating and made our visit very comfortable. And of coarse the food was terrific. We have eaten there twice before and to be honest, we love it and will most definitely return.
