    I ordered my Filet well done. It came medium, closer to medium rare. A steakhouse should know how to cook a steak properly. They did not take it off my bill. There are a lot of steakhouses in the MSP area, and this one is disappointing.

    This old-school downtown steak house is fantastic. The design is updated, the service is impeccable, the food is top-notch, and the wine list is astounding. We were delighted to see folks of all ages out for a good time. It’s not huge—comfortable size, well-spaced tables and a nice bar. We were also delighted at the LACK of ear-splitting noise. This is a great place for conversation as well as dining.

    Carter and the busser (we didn't catch his name) were wonderful, along with the food and mocktails.

    I had a steak sandwich and fries and they were both very good. The service was excellent. I always enjoy going to Murray’s.

    Family LOVED the French Onion Soup - very beefy in flavor. The Tournedos of Beef were amazing in flavor and very tender. Mine were a bit on the cool side (but I like right off the grill heat). Next time will order a side of the Bearnaise for dunking the beef. The salmon was excellent although next time would order the Lingonberry sauce on the side to allow for dunking versus swimming in the sweet sauce. The Tomahawk Pork Chop was a unique experience and have not yet placed the spice that was used on it. It was tasty and the spice gives a hint of clove or cinnamon. The Crab Cakes were packed with crab and a family member mentioned they would order them as a meal in the future. The Loaded Mash Browns were amazingly crispy and definitely would feed 4-6 people. We had a great server, didn't feel rushed, and enjoyed the experience.

    This was our second visit to Murray’s and we were very happy with the full experience. The steaks were perfectly cooked and the side dishes were great. A special night for us was topped off with a fantastic desert, complimentary from the staff. We will be back!
