Murphy's Mansion

The fish meal came highly recommended and it was tasty, a good choice to consider for Nigerian meals. Large with plenty sitting option and the atmosphere is popping

The Suya is delicious. I haven’t been during the evening in a while. They have done some renovations things look nice. The service can be slow but they have always been friendly.

I been searching for a good African vibe and thought this was the spot. Where can I start . Let me begin with the positives although there isn’t many but the food was amazing ! Now to the negatives, the bartender, she had such a nasty attitude, all arms crossed as if she was the queen and had to be worshipped. I told her what I wanted and she kept saying she couldn’t hear me even though I was screaming and she said " you either speak up or you ain’t getting no drink" then she stomps her foot and leaves the bar . I got my drink from the other bartender without any issues. She had such an uninviting attitude and quite honestly it was the worst I have ever seen and I travel a lot. The waitresses were sitting around doing absolutely nothing , not even checking if I needed something else. But the music was great! But very loud for a place that’s half empty.

I went on a Saturday night. It was a nice crowd, not too crowded. We were able to get a table quickly ordered drinks called back that a** up ( it was not good) it was supposed to had been a margarita with some added liquor! It was like a water ice with liquor on top! Too too sweet. We also ordered a straight shot of cognac and a beer. For dinner I ordered a whole tilapia fish the options were fried or grilled, I ordered mines fried. It came with vegetables( some type of greens) they were good! Seasoned very well. The fish was pretty good it was a little salty but that may have been the sauce they put on the fish, it came with plantain. Ordered a side of Jollof rice (Al La cart). We also ordered fish pepper soup (very spicy) but good! This place was decent had a live DJ pool tables ping pong table a dance floor etc. I would return, maybe not for food but I hang out.

The servers were corrupt. They wanted cash or Zelle instead of using a card, claiming the card machine was broken. When I spoke to another server, she said the machine hasn't been down at all and she made sure to call out the server. All of a sudden I was able to close my tab. Corrupt! Corrupt servers!

Ate here 2 weeks ago on a Saturday afternoon. Took a while for someone to acknowledge me and give me a menu which was old and worn out. My 1st 2 choices of oxtail or roti were not available. The waitress was very kind and sat down and explained a new cook had taken over and was still getting up to speed. I opted for the curry goat but was informed they ran out of rice and peas so I had to have plain white rice as one side and chose collards as the other. (I like rice to soak up the gravy) When my plate arrived I was disappointed to see there really wasn't any gravy, just a few pieces of boneless goat with fat on them, a couple of potatoes, and one sliver of carrot. One of the pieces of meet was hard and dried out like it had been stuck to the bottom of the pot. I found the collards salty but ok. The taste of the goat was also ok but nothing special. My meal was served with plastic utensils and a small plastic cup of water. For 25.99 I was definitely expecting more. They also charge a credit card fee.

Murphy’s is an African club/lounge and they are now the new home of Venittis. Do you get two clubs in one. There’s a bar when you first walk in but service wasn’t so great, cups weren’t as clean, took a while and a few times to ask for my debit card back. Where as inside the other club that bartender was great. Nothing like Murphy side. It’s a large building they have a few pool tables and outside area as well. I didn’t have the chance to try the food. Yet it smelled good . Drinks are kind of cheap
