    Accommodated our large group on Christmas Eve and our server was SO great to us throughout the couple of hours! We brought our own wine (uncorking fee), ordered other cocktails, had lots of great food and enjoyed everyone around. Staff were all so festive and friendly. Ambiance was welcoming and will go back again

    Lox Salmon Benedict
    Pamela L.

    I ordered the smoked salmon Benedict. Ohhh la la ! It was delicious. Plenty of hollandaise sauce. The drop poached eggs were cooked to perfection. The potato's were steaming and moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. They were flavored perfectly. We had an upbeat attentive waitress named Dianna. She was bubbly and friendly. The restaurant is showing some signs of aging but the cleanliness was an A+.

    Monte Cristo Waffle

    I can see why this place is a popular spot for weekend brunch! Parking lot is big but shared with other businesses in that lot. Luckily we made a reservation for a Sunday morning and were seated right away. But it does get very busy and even if you have to wait, there is a small lake right near there just down the stairs and you can take a quick lap or two while you are waiting. Our waitress was friendly and efficient and gave us the time and space we needed to decide and chat. We did not feel rushed at all even though their waiting area were full. I was very excited about the Monte Cristo Waffle but sadly have to say it was a bit disappointing. The waffle was too thick and flavorless and not a good vessel for the ham cheese and jam, the whole thing just really fell apart when I picked it up. I would have preferred regular French toast buns for sure. Other than that, my group enjoyed the breakfast croissant sandwich, veggie omelette, and blackened chicken sandwich. The fries were hot and crispy and the breakfast potatoes were seasoned and hearty. I loved that the crumb cake was warmed up but it was dry. Overall I think if you are looking for a good brunch place Cafe Murrayhill for sure has something for everyone! Make sure to make a reservation!

    A solid place to come to for brunch where there's both indoor and outdoor seating. The place does get busy during the weekend, but we were lucky and got seated right away. I had the eggs benedict as that was the recommended dish. My friends also had that and a mushroom and bacon omelet. My eggs benedict was good. I tried some of the omelet, and that was good as well.

    The jail seat, you will be forgotten.

    Back again! Manager was concerned about our previous visit. Without prior notice we dropped in again to give it another chance. Great Job Murray Hill, You did greaaaaat! Thank you Omni for your recommendations, i will definitely try the Lox Benedict next time around. Being pancake snobs, we had a single plain pancake, pretty tasty about 3/8" thick but wasn't too dry. It was a little thick for my wife's taste, but Id do pancakes again... thanks guys for a great visit, glad I gave it a second chance and will return for another brunch date in the future.

    Great morning at this spot. We stopped for breakfast out of the blue on our walk and what a great idea this was. I ordered the mushroom omelette. Perfect amount of food. The omelette was cooked to perfection considering I ordered it without cheese. Great combination of ingredients. The potatoes were cooked to perfection. My husband ordered the eggs Benedict and a side of avocado toast which complimented the meal. Great portions and costs for what we ordered. Nice job on the presentation too. The server checked in with us the perfect amount of times. We also had the opportunity to sit under the morning sun overlooking the beautiful pond. We'll be back for breakfast soon. Great spot!

    I give this place 3.5 stars. The breakfast was fantastic, service was quick and efficient. Some of the silverware seemed dirty. The matcha latte was really bad and I wouldn't recommend. The green color was really off, and it was super grainy and thick. Worst matcha I have had, but the food redeemed it. The chicken fried steak is fantastic. Everyone was super friendly too!

    Mushroom & Bacon Omelet and turmeric latte
    Kristi P.

    This cafe is hard to beat for outdoor dining with a lakeside view! Mushroom and bacon omelet: it felt like slightly too much egg, but otherwise very good. The egg was nice and fluffy and filling was tasty. The seasoned potatoes were crispy on the outside, and the biscuit was tender and moist. They use a house-made turmeric syrup for the turmeric latte, which was tasty. Service was fast and friendly. If you're looking for a nice American breakfast/brunch with a view, this is the place to go!

    4/18/2024 - Parmesan Crusted Halibut and a glass of Ruby Pinot Noir
    Mikhail H.

    A friend suggested we go here for dinner. I remembered I had not eaten here in a long while and did not go here for reasons. I am glad that I was not remembering my previous experience and that I am usually pretty accommodating to friends. There are a few exceptions - like when the trauma is so bad you end up with PTSD. With all of that said, this was a lovely way to dine for certain down to the other diners! Two lovely ladies who were getting up to leave said that they highly recommended the Quesadilla for an appetizer. When strangers have such a great experience they want to share, that is saying a whole lot! I'm so happy we chose outside to sit - it was a beautiful day and the view of the water, lovely gardens and a whole lot of Canadian geese is just wonderful where you get to feel a little fancy in the tron. They have a nice fire pit out there also if you want some warmth. I started with a glass of their Ruby Pinot Noir which was lovely - perfect though I did start asking for a glass of rose and then maybe a red blend. Sometimes a Pinot Noir can be a bit heavy and it was good so I appreciated the recommendation. My friend loved her Pinot Gris which was Kings Estate. Service was great and our food came out fast...perhaps too fast. My only complaint was that my friend and I had the same order nearly where we asked for a small salad for me and a cup of soup for her and also entrees. She and I were both rather taken aback as all our food was brought out at once which is just covering the table and overwhelming. They did not ask which most restaurants do if you order items that can be coursed. We just assumed they would do that. So, apparently you need to ask for that unless you like to eat in this fashion. I ordered a small Murrayhill salad without blue cheese and it was quite good. I probably would have eaten far more of it but it was served with my entrée and di not keep as I tried to take it to go. I really REALLY love their Parmesan crusted halibut. The asparagus was also amazing. The mashed potatoes seem rather cold and not as creamy as I would have liked though I love that they used red potatoes and leave the skin in. We saved room for crème brulee which was incredible though HUGE... You will need backup!

    Blueberry pancakes

    The food was delicious and the service is great. My only complaint is that it is a very small spot and they have a ton of seating so people are crammed in there but we could still have a nice conversation.

    I recently co- hosted a birthday luncheon at Cafe Murrayhill. The staff was so easy to work with, especially Gabriel and our server, Rose. We had planned our event for ten people to be overlooking the lake, but rain required us to move indoors. They allowed us to come an hour early to decorate, and they set up extra tables for cake, appetizers, etc. We pre-ordered a number of appetizers, and food was delicious and substantial, and the items came out exactly as ordered and at the perfect temperature. Servers were attentive, professional, and polite. Everyone enjoyed a wonderful afternoon celebrating a very special birthday for a very special person. Thank you, Cafe Murryhill!

Because it's somewhat hidden in the corner of a Safeway shopping plaza. Look for the Baskin Robbins or Wells Fargo ATM and your find it. Like other reviews, when busy, parking can be a bit horrendous. But in hindsight, I'm not gonna reduce a star just because of location. * Bar Food Menu & Dining * Their menu starts with shareable bites, like a pretzel, tacos, quesadilla, loaded nachos, and even a charcuterie plate. Slightly larger dishes would be their Cubano and Brisket Press sandwiches. They even have a few choices for soup and salads, and a couple of dessert items listed. Don't forget to check the chalkboard next to the bar for specialty dishes and drinks. As for dining-in, they've got sturdy wooden tables that can accommodate 4-8 people. Bar stools by the windows, and a fairly large outside patio area. And with the times I've been here, I've never seen a dirty table. Very well maintained (two thumbs up). A few TV monitors showing the game, but its not like a noisy sportsbar. * Drinks & Services* You've got your choice of craft beers that rotate like a standard tap room. They also have tasty seasonal cocktails, but their normal everyday cocktails are just as good. And if you're gonna have a charcuterie board, then you've got to offer a wine list option right? Well they got that too! One last thing to mention, they've got some top-shelf bourbon and whiskey. The 649 is a bar that offers it all! Service has also been welcoming and top-notch. I recall only been served by Rich, Steven, and Crystal, but they always seem to craft up some lovely cocktails. Or deliver some clean tasting everyday type of bar food as well. * Last Call * Normally in my reviews, I'd list every item that I've tried, with price included. But The 649 is such a unique type of bar experience that I feel you should try for yourself; To me, their offerings are reasonably priced. Dining in is nothing fancy, but service is excellent. It's a great hangout for a business date, of even after a first date. I've got nothing but love for local support!

The space itself is smaller and intimate, so bringing a larger group than about 4-5 people might not be ideal. The ambiance definitely gave Italy vibes, for sure. The chicken liver mousse was a good consistency, paired with the figs gave a nice balance between sweet and savory. The steak frites was a classic, steak was a good portion and cooked medium rare, but I'm sure if you wanted it more cooked through, you could make that request. The fries were definitely a standout, great texture and the garlic flavor gave a good contrast to the steak. My favorite dish was the dessert, the flaky crust gave a nice texture to the cream insides. I'm a huge passionfruit fan, so once I saw it was on the menu, I knew I had to try it. It didn't disappoint and I would definitely come back just for this dish alone. Overall a solid experience and would recommend people to try Canard out at least once!

One dark sauce tasted almost like molasses, overly sweet and not something you expect with poke. The chili sauce was also too sweet, while the soy-based sauce tasted excessively salty (fish sauce maybe added in it). I added malt vinegar myself just to balance the flavor. Also, it would be nice if the fish was seasoned with salt(or something) to alter the fishy flavor. The Fish & Chips was average at best. The batter was uneven, with some parts way too thick, though the fries were okay. Experience was not horrible, server was nice and ambiance inside is pretty. I just think the kitchen needs real work.

The wines are wonderful, as expected. WVV has expanded its portfolio over the years and includes a nice array of labels so you can get your classic Oregon Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, as well as more robust reds like Tempranillo and Syrah.

On Wednesdays, there's a happy hour menu. On our most recent visit, we loved the tarragon shrimp and the mushrooms. The truffle fries were fine, but tasted more like standard garlic fries and not so much truffle fries. While I love having a wine bar/restaurant like this in this area, the one thing that has been disappointing is that I have noticed the service has gone downhill since it first opened. It's not bad, but it's also not as attentive, warm and welcoming, or knowledgeable (re: the wines) as it once was. So one star was knocked off for the just-okay service, but otherwise, this is a fantastic spot for foodies and wine lovers alike if you are in the Lake O area!

Our female server was rushed from the get go. While I was perusing the drink menu, she ran off to get my partner his wine because he had decided already. She wasn't willing to wait 5 seconds for me to decide. She was in a hurry to service other diners. It wound up being this way throughout the meal. There was constant rushing and not paying attention to us. It felt awkwardly harried. The problem with the food was my dish came half hot, half cold. The quail was hot and very flavorful while the pureed peas and potatoes were served cold under the quail. Normally, I would send it back for this, but I was too hungry and didn't want to hassle it. This entree was $38. But the biggest offense was that I wrote the restaurant about my experience and they did not respond. I might give a place another chance if they cared enough to hear from their customers and apologize, but that didn't happen. Hence this review.
