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!

Brought a 9 person group in for a business dinner. We were there from 7pm to 10:30pm. Everyone but me was on their first visit. Everyone had a wonderful time and loved the food and decor. We ordered several appetizers for the table: ribs, ceviche, dumplings and vegetable rolls. For dinner we ordered: Pho soups, duck, lamb chops, chicken stir fry, tuna, salmon and plenty of sides. Food was fresh, tasty and creative. Wine recommendations were on point and service was very attentive. Can't recommend enough!
