    We had a terrific dinner with great service. It was the night before the St. Patrick’s Day parade so it was very full - but the staff did a great job. The Shepherd’s Pie and fish tacos were some of the best I’d ever tasted. They were even engraving Guinness glasses that night - such fun!! We’ll be back.

    It was great. I went in and was immediately seated. Within 5 minutes the waitress was taking our order. Food came out within a reasonable amount of time. The corned beef was fatty, that’s a chance you take anywhere, but overall the sandwich was good. I’m going back again, it was very comfortable.

    Valentines dinner with guest chef Maryanne Brancaccio with wife and baker Maria Vanni both of August BYO. The food was of course delicious as is always the case with chef Maryanne’s Italian cuisine. The vibe and ambiance of Con Murphy’s were perfect for the fun evening. We had a layered pint Guinness/Smithwick's (on tap of course) and forward to trying their delicious menu very soon.

    The food was solid and decently priced, but the restaurant was so loud I left with a headache. I would come back again around lunchtime so it's hopefully quieter.

    Our annual Thanksgiving Eve dinner with friends was outstanding. Server was friendly, knowledgeable, and didn’t rush us at all. Food was great. Portions generous. House cut fries and Shepards pie were among the standouts. The nachos were huge! The acoustic singer topped off a great evening.
