Great experience as always! We needed to push our reservation back an hour the day of and Murphy's was able to make it happen no problem. Always such a great, smooth experience. Our crew loved the burrata, lobster cobb salad and Bonzo cake. Wednesday is half price wine bottles!

Our server was excellent - professional, friendly and attentive. Ceasar and caprese salads were tasty and good for sharing. The chicken scallopini parmesan was quite dry and not very flavorful, and we were charged extra for requesting more sauce to help improve it; Probably should have just sent it back. Tagliatelle Bolognese was delicious. Complimentary tiramisu for the birthday girl was festive and delicious.
