| - #1 on my 10 before the end of the year list.
Murphy's seems like the type of place where locals hang out. I'm definitely going to have to return to get the full experience, but from my first dinner, this place was awesome.
Parking is a little bit of an issue, but drive around a few blocks (not just ONE block) and you'll more than likely find *something*. As with most Irish restaurants, I knew I had to start off their Shepard's Pie.
Their presentation is rustic and the taste is absolutely insane. Fluffiest mashed potatoes, awesomely savory meat and veg mixture... was by far one of the most well executed Shepard's Pies I've had. It was also served with a great soda bread that our waitress so kindly gave us more of. The menu is pretty meat-and-veg heavy, but even as a vegetarian, The Lady was able to easily find something in one of the curry dishes, which she adored.
Just as a note, special shout out to our waitress, Meaghan. It was her first day, first service and she did a fantastic job, so kudos to the training staff at Murphy's.
There are a ton of other things on the menu that I want to try out, and I kind of want to come on a busier night as well to experience the real ambiance of the place (it was pretty dead save for some Chiefs fans in there for the game the next day... yuck.) Yes, Nicki, I'll go back and try out the deviled eggs :)
