Certainly doesn't appear to be the place it used to be. Was pretty dead on a Thursday evening. For a steak place, thought they could have gotten medium/well right, was more on the medium/rare side. Salad was obviously bagged and bag had been open for a while. Overly dark in attempt to mask aging interior, not historic, just deteriorating. Too... More

Great wine list with consistently fresh and tasty food. The servers are very efficient and attentive. Worth the extra $$ for a splurge now and then.

Went there previously many years ago and loved it. Between then and now I would have to say it has gone downhill in my opinion. We were asked if we wouldn't mind eating in the lounge area and we said no problem. However, there was only one waitress for the entire area. We had to flag her down for more... More

Once an outstanding restaurant in an historic building has dropped to poorer days. Service was excellent, but the food was only average and the Reuben sandwich was dry. We sent it back to add some Thousand Island Sauce to it. They accommodated us politely. However, we had asked for draft beer and were served from bottles. My turkey sandwich was... More

We had a large early evening dinner party and were given the private room in the back. It made it very enjoyable for us to not have to talk over other patrons. It was disappointing however that they ran out of soup (they did make more) and chicken. As a result, my soup came after my dinner. I also ran... More

This used to be my all time favorite restaurant but now I would say it's about average. When 3 people out of 4 in your party have problems with their steak it puts a little bit of a damper on things. Medium rare (which the waiter suggested) means really rare, and the one steak sent back because it was extremely... More

Great food and service to match. Noise level a little high but not unacceptable for a combined family and tourist oriented restaurant. Shorts and tee shirts accepted as much as shirts and ties, which fits the tempo of the town. Wait staff was fast and friendly and had no problem when asked for extras like the home made bread.

We asked our hotel where to eat in Prescott and asked for fine dining. They recommended Murphy's. I guess if you live in a cowboy town in the middle of the mountains of Arizona, then you might deem this place fine dining. But if you are from an urban area and enjoy finer restaurants you will be sorely disappointed. This... More

Fantastic place. Classy, classic, and not pretentious. Nice, large bar area with inviting black leather booths as well. Excellent steaks including prime rib and very cheap prices. $21 for an 8 oz sirloin, $26 for their standard prime rib. Comes with everything; homemade bread, soup or salad, veggies, potato. Beer was $3. Welcoming feel and staff, I'd feel comfortable in... More
