    First time traveling back to MSP in several years and dining at one of my all-time favorite restaurants.  “Garlic” toast, lobster tail appetizer, wedge salad, silver butter knife for two, loaded hash-browns, mushrooms, and a nice Napa cab. Sat at the bar for the first time ever. Not a table, but a barstool. Was surprised at how few people were there last night. The food was excellent as always, and the service by Jenny, the bartender, was spectacular. Great time catching up with my brother. I don’t give “5’s” but last night is my first.

    My experience at Murray’s is always amazing. The food and service is the best. Being a hospitality professional it feels good to know that the service industry still has quality and pride. Murray’s definitely is a staple to this amazing city.

    Murray's was excellent. My wife had a special surf and turf consisting of a filet and scallops, both were very good. I had a special bone on ribeye among the best I've ever had.

    The steak was so amazingly delicious, the onion soup is outstanding, especially with the garlic crisp crouton bread on top, and the raspberry pie was divine and packed with fresh, whole raspberries.

    Really enjoyed the atmosphere and accommodating staff. The valet was $15 so that was nice. ( Only a few dollars more than public parking). Had a cute elderly gentleman host and make sure our evening was enjoyed. Service for the meal was great and friendly. Had a birthday celebration and received a free dessert. We will be going back again! Thanks Murray's!

    Easily one of the best restaurants in the Twin Cities. The Silver Butter Knife steak is incredible, perfectly cooked with huge flavor. We had the delicious French Onion soup and Gorgonzola and Pear Risotto for our sides. Both were wonderful. Our server was excellent. The wine was incredible.
