Murray’s is our favorite family restaurant! We visit Murray’s every year before we attend the Nutcracker at the State Theater around the corner. The service, food, ambiance, and value is absolutely outstanding! All the staff is warm, friendly, courteous, and kind. We did not wait long for our selected menu items to be served and they were simply delicious. I highly recommend Murray’s restaurant as a new or return guest!

Our favorite anniversary spot has been with this melting pot for the part couple years. This particular night they ran out of bread for the cheese course. But they went above and beyond to make that up and make our anniversary special. The manager and our server were both amazing people. 10/10 recommend

Loved that OpenTable reservation was easy to make and honored as soon as I arrived. Katie sat me, and was our server. She was engaging, energetic, and versed in the menu. Our meals - Buffalo chicken salad and Birria Ramen - were well plated, strong portion size, and delicious. We sat on the outer courtyard seating, which was both pleasant and more open. Efficient lunch with great service.
