Murphy's on the River

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 and enjoyed it.

Well, Murphy’s on the water….is not on the water. I was looking for a nice romantic place on the water to have dinner with my Wife. But alas, no water. Kinda noisy for a romantic dinner. Food was good. Service was great, friendly and efficient. Will probably return again, but not for a nice dinner on the water.

If I could put zero stars I would. Quite literally the worst meal I have ever had in Corvallis and I have eaten at a lot of places in Corvallis. My lemonade was warm. I got the chicken wrap and the chicken had no flavor like it was old. The chicken was also cold. My boyfriend got a burger and you could’ve got a better burger at McDonald’s. Not to mention the patty was way over cooked and very thin for a $14 burger. The garlic parm fries were plain fries with clumpy shredded parmesan and minced garlic like you get out of a jar. ALSO they change 4% of your bill if you use a credit/debit card. That’s just the cost of doing business and they are putting that on their customers. Save yourself the stomach ache and go somewhere else.

All in all, this was a good restaurant. It didn’t receive a 5 for a few reasons. 1. I have never been to a restaurant that did not offer water to the table. 2. Overpriced for what you get 3. Paper napkins??? For a place to charge 28$ for a steak I would kind of expect to at least have a nice napkin.. I ordered the NY strip medium rare. The cook on it was slightly over, which I can understand as someone who grills often. No big deal. The char was great. I had about1-1.5 oz of pure fat which was inedible. To be expected with this type of cut. My baked potato was served plain, with green onion, butter and sour cream on the side. It was also undercooked, still hard. Seems like they want to up charge you for cheese? Kind of odd. My wife ordered the 12 oz prime rib medium rare. The cook on it was great, but I think the meat they used was subpar. It came out looking a bit grey for a prime rib. She enjoyed it regardless. The whipped potatoes looked much better than their baked in case you are on the fence between the two. One other oddity, was that they charge a 3.84% service charge on cards for payment. As someone who works at a credit union I understand that Visa charges per transaction. However, to pass this off to your customers AND round UP is kind of shady. Aside from a small wait to be seated, the service was good. Our server was attentive and polite, which always makes for a good experience. I write honest reviews in hopes the business takes constructive criticism well so that the next patron has a slightly better experience. There are other restaurants I would prefer to go to next time. -Alex
