    Great place. Steak was excellant. We had the butter steak for two, but between three people. Twenty-eight ounces were more than enough for us. We added some additional sides. Great attentive service, water glass was constantly refilled. Raspberry pie was sublim. We will be coming back.

    The Silver Butter Knife Steak for Two is a MUST and it’s more than enough for 3 to share. Then you can also enjoy an extra side and amazing appetizers!

    Classic butter-knife steak house. 4 of 5 had steaks and all thought they were excellent. I hade salmon and it was perfectly cooked. The shrimp cocktail appetizer was huge. We all enjoyed salads and craft cocktails - try the smoked old fashioned. We had requested a quieter location and were very satisfied with our table in a corner. The server was excellent obviously a veteran of Murrays. Old school charm all the way around.
