Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Murphys

Another fantastic experience at The Independent R&B. As soon as we checked-in for our reservation the hostess recognized our special night celebrating our anniversary, as did our server, who’s name is escaping me, when welcoming us in. I started off with a Bourbon Ginger Smash (very tasty) and we shared the Tempura Prawns and Thai Chicken Skewers appetizers, both delicious, but have to say the prawns are a must try. For our entrees I enjoyed the Lemon Caper Salmon and my husband enjoyed his perfectly cooked med-well Filet Mignon—not an easy feat, typically chefs will butterfly to get the right temp. To finish things off, I thoroughly enjoyed the dessert special, banana pudding with a Happy Anniversary note in chocolate and my husband devoured the chocolate cheesecake. From the front of the house to the back, service was amazing and spot on. Just have to mention, the hostess made the rounds refilling water and noticed my husband’s coke was empty and graciously brought him a new one. When our server noticed the refill included ice (something hubby likes to omit) he offered to bring him a new one. I have to say, what a great catch and very attentive because a lot of the time, when we dine out, his coke is delivered with ice even after the request for none is made. Bravo, to the entire team!

Sean was our waiter. He was fabulous. This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem in Elk Grove. A must visit. The food was amazing. We had the surf and turf special and the stuffed pork chop (a must!) Leave room for the homemade desserts..key lime pie is delicious.

The service was welcoming, warm, & friendly. The Prawn Scampi with Lemon Fettuccine was delicious & generous! The prawns were grilled & the homemade pasta was cooked perfectly with the wine butter sauce on top. All other meals at our table were 5 star as well.

Paul was our server, a master of his craft. My wife had the margarita pizza with olive oil vs red sauce…she loved it I had my usual bolognese pasta, also on point. Always enjoy ur establishment Mikel and Teresa

A beautiful warm evening. We ate on the patio with the best golf course view. Had the special Thai meal and it was amazing. I typically don’t eat Thai but I’m so glad we ordered this. Delicious!
