    Still the best steaks in town. Dennis provided excellent service. We were celebrating a birthday, and a complimentary dessert with a candle to blow out was provided.

    If you like top notch steaks & sides, great drinks, served by friendly knowledgeable waitstaff, in a comfortable ambience (not overly loud), go to Murray's. Great dining experience! I have been coming to Murray's since I was a kid. My memories are rekindled each time.
