I opted for fish and chips as I expected that it was a local specialty. The fish portion was small and the batter seasoning completely overpowered the fish. There could have been anything under that batter and I would hardly have been the wiser. My vegetable sides of roasted carrots and summer squash were very good, but the portions were absolutely stingy. I'm not a big eater...I really don't appreciated the gigantic portions of some restaurants, but Murphy's left me still hungary.

Painted yellow table, black with filth. Floors were even worse. One of the filthiest restaurants I have ever been in. Could not speak to as what the food would have been like as we did not order.

It seemed like they may have forgotten about us because we waited about 20 minutes before receiving any service. However, once our server came, they were friendly and accommodating. They even offered us complimentary drinks and gave us a 15% discount on our bill for the inconvenience. I wasn't too upset about the wait as it can happen sometimes, and I appreciate the effort to make it right. My only issue was that the portions were a bit small for the price, even though the food was delicious. I may not come here frequently due to the cost, but it's definitely worth a visit if you can afford it!

Not our first visit and will be back again.
