Hi everyone, I was riding my bike in the Brewery District yesterday and noticed a place next to High Beck, looks like it's called Murray's? Does anyone have info on this? It looked kind of nice on the inside, it looked pretty close to opening too (i.e stocked bar, cash register set up, napkins/silver on the table)... Also, that specific location never seems to do well so I wonder how this one will fare.
I'm intrigued.

I went for a preview night last Thursday to try out the menu. The food was excellent...
My favorite was an "eggplant stack" appetizer that was phenomenal, layers of fried eggplant with cooked spinach and cheese in a bordelaise sauce, so good! I also enjoyed the crispy pancetta in the mussels, although the broth could be punched up a bit.
I ordered a main of a breaded chicken breast that was served below arugula and tomato salad with a potato fennel gratin and asparagus. My date had red snapper atop a white bean mixture that was really tasty, impressive portion v price.
Kinks were minimal in terms of service, but were expected for a preview. I'm sure they'll have everything ironed out in no time. I'm definitely looking forward to a return trip.

Thanks for helping us practice, Snarf!
We received a lot of nice comments from the volunteers that helped us out during our preview.
The website will be updated soon with the menu and photos that show what our dining and bar areas look like.

The eggplant sounds great. I'm a sucker for fried eggplant, when it's breaded and fried or baked long enough, and not rubbery. This reminds me of Buca di Beppo's Eggplant Parmesan, with its thin layers of crispy vegetable.
The bean base sounds like a white bean ragout, an inexpensive but tasty show stopper that's right up your alley, Snarf. A good ragout will transform a tasty protein - chicken, pork, fish - into a satisfying and memorable meal. Have you ever made ragout in the Snarf kitchen?
Congratulations to T Murray's Bar and Kitchen for a seemingly successful opening! You have my respect for introducing yourself on this board - it's very inviting.

yes! ragout is the word i was looking for..but when i mentioned the portion being impressive i was referring to the size of the snapper itself.
i've never made a ragout, but have made some tasty indian dishes with beans likely reminiscent of same.
i wish i had that eggplant stack in front of me right this minute.

Went there tonight to check it out. Lovely space with some good food on the menu (Snarf, you talked me into the eggplant stack—and thank you!). Tony may be Columbus' answer to Sam Malone from Cheers!—an incredibly personable, garrulous guy who makes you feel welcome right away. Despite the size and how crowded it was, it felt almost like we were all in Tony's living room... which I think might be the idea.

Very impressed with the service, some interesting menu items and love the space. My only wish would be for some sound proofing. All the hard surfaces made it very loud and a little hard to converse at our table.

Effective last night, we were able to utilize the entire restaurant space for the first time.
We appreciate everyone's patience while we put some finishing touches on the interior.

Then we had the shrimp and pesto pasta, clam linquine, risotta and turkey meatloaf. All exceeded expectations. we finished with french pressed coffee and cheesecake. we enjoyed every bite and will definetly be back. Prices are very reasonable.

Talked to a friend this morning who went last night...I said I'd heard good reviews, she said she'd been there 4 out of the last 5 nights. That's about as good of a review as I can imagine.

We tried out T Murrays Bar and Kitchen on Saturday.
We are going back as soon as we can.
The shrimp and greens is a fabulous salad. We also tried the wedge and it was very good.
The arugula and chicken milanese tasted very fresh and delicious. The linguine with clams had a lot of clams and was very well prepared.
The prices were reasonable and I noticed that they have sandwiches on their dinner menu so you ought to be able to go there without maxing out your credit card.
We were too full for dessert but the dessert menu had a chocolate creme brulee so I am saving room when I visit next.
