Mrs. Murphy's is an upscale Irish Bistro in the North Center neighborhood. This gut rehab is full of dark wood, high ceilings and subtle furnishings. The bar area is low lit while the dining area is brighter. Surprisingly, their were a couple of families with young children eating there when we arrived and as the room filled up, the noise level went up quite a bit though it was not obnoxious. The menu is not extensive but pleasantly diverse with twists on traditional Irish fare. I enjoyed the cheese plate appetizer, scallop entrée and Bailey's Irish Creme cheesecake for dessert. There is also a good beer and wine list, which has many great choices while not overwhelmingly large.
I would definitely recommend trying this restaurant for a nice evening out!
