"After spending quite some time at a nearby attraction, we were hungry . After a chilly, drizzly and rainy day something warm and comforting seemed in order. We were casually dressed and having passed Murphy’s several times this week, decided to give it a try. At 2pm there were few cars in the lot. As we walked up to the hostess stand, the bartender said we could sit anywhere and Joseph would be with us shortly. He was, even before we sat down at a table. Inside the place was clean and looked as I imagined an Irish Pub should. Joseph was quick to tell us what the brew specials were and we ordered quickly as one sounded much to our likening. He also mentioned that the pitcher might be a better value, though we passed as we had a drive back to Naples afterwards. He handed us menus to review while we awaited our beer. It’s not a huge menu but definitely had comfort food: Beef on Weck, burgers, Reuben’s, smoked turkey sandwiches. Soups, salads and choice of a half sandwich with soup or salad. These may not be dinner options but we found several items that sounded perfect for a late lunch. I ordered the grilled cheese on sour dough bread with tomato soup. Hubs ordered the beef on weck. We really enjoyed our meals and left nothing behind. Before writing this I asked hubs what his rating would be. We both paused as for this type of restaurant and food it’s hard to think of it as 5 stars, but we agreed that there was nothing more we could have asked for in the service and food. It was exactly on target. When I read other reviews with bad service I have to wonder if it’s just a particular day with problematic help because Joseph was friendly, knowledgeable, engaging and our meal came up more quickly than imagined and the food was hot. The menu was double sided but consisted of what I consider normal pub food and our choices tasted wonderful."
