Reviews for Murphy's on the River in Corvallis, OR
I want to start off my saying our server was amazing which is why the review has 2 stars instead of 1. Me and my fiancé came... for a celebratory dinner and were really excited. Unfortunately the food did not deliver. The ribeye was tough and chewy on bothplates, which was strange considering it was a perfect medium rare color. Green beans tasted good but were extremelyundercooked. My mashed potatoes were pretty bland and cold. I can only assume by the super hot plates that were brought to usthat the food might have sat under the warming lamp for a long time before it made it to us. Overall really disappointed.Probably won?t be returning. If I spend 35$ on a steak per person, it shouldn?t be warm jerky. Add-on: not to mention theridiculous 4% additional charge they put on their customers if you want to pay with card. Obnoxious. Update: called therestaurant for at the very least a partial refund, was informed that there wasn?t anything that he was going to do, believe hesaid his name was Joe, was hard to hear over the noise in the background. When I said, rather exasperated, ?it?s finegoodnight,? he proceeded to snap at me. Definitely not coming back and will steer others away from the restaurant. Poormanagement. Read more
Good steak. At $33 a salad would have been nice. Servers seemed rushed but were friendly and competent. Outdoor service was not... available. Read more
I rarely provide reviews but the whole of the experience here was so poor I feel the need to do so. We waited 30 minutes for a... table which is fine but then were seated outside and promptly forgotten about. I had to go inside three times to ask about mychild?s food, then they forgot flatware so she had to eat her pasta with her hands. We waited for 30 minutes for our drinks. Icomplained two more times and then our food came out cold. On top of this, they charge almost 4% just for using a card to pay.Will never come back. Read more
This is the first review I have ever done. Having worked in the service industry for over a decade I usually don?t complain but... this was just awful. Service was ok but the food was just not good. We ordered burgers and martinis. The burgers were so overcooked they were hard to cut with a knife, the egg was over done. Fries are supposedly not GF so we got soup which was alsoawful. I don?t know how you mess up a martini but that happened too. If you?re going to charge more than the neighbors, thequality should be there. Read more
Great food and service. Our party of 3 all had the seared Ahi tuna and loved it. The Wasabi sauce was just right, not too hot... but enough bite. As a diabetic option they substituted vegetables instead of noodles for me, my work associates had noodles andenjoyed it. Read more
Food are absolutely disappointed, with expensive price. You can tell the seafood is not really fresh, alcohol are horrible, and... the meat are just okay, I can actually spend this money on a nicer restaurant!!! And the waiter charge my card twice and didn?tcharge my friend card!!! WT?. Read more
Had the steamer clam, ribeye and NY steak. ? Steamer clam is good, steamed in the butter garlic sauce, and the taste of the... sauce is really balanced?the two pieces of bread are also good, dipping into the sauce is the way to eat it. ? the two steaksare also good, although there?s nothing special about it. Very standard grilled steak. Overall, the restaurant is good. Aftercomparing with other ?fancy? restaurants in town, they have the best ?cost performance?. The photo looks good right? My girlfriend is a pretty good photographer :) Read more
Food/service were great. Ordered the Prime rib medium rare. Will order again next time.
