    Cold coffee, burnt bacon, toast was not toasted (how is that possible), egg white was under cooked. Hardly anyone was in there so no excuse. Go on a tour but eat Brunch somewhere else

    Unfortunately, three of the four items we chose to order were sold out. I expected more of a dining experience, however, it was more like 'pub grub'.

    Realize there was a scaled down menu because you’re not that busy.

    Service was fine, but the restaurant has really gone down hill. There’s a lot of construction going on, but it doesn’t excuse the restaurant from becoming run down and going through the motions. Really poor experience. Won’t be going back.

    The location is amazing with fantastic views of Georges Island the Halifax Harbour. The food and service are excellent. COVID and construction on Queens Marque is not helping Murphy's business so please go.....it's well worth it!

    Menu was very very limited, but that is understandable due to the current covid situation. Food was decent. Sat on the 'patio' and felt very 'on the water' which was exactly what we were looking for, for our afternoon in Halifax.
