We arrived in Murphy's on a Thursday night and were staying through Saturday. I had read reviews on here and knew the name, so we chose Grounds for dinner Thursday. It was not crowded, and service was quick. I had the ribeye and Michael had the Swordfish, both of which were prepared as ordered and quite tasty. Loved the atmosphere...relaxed... more

Had a wonderful dinner. Service excellent. More extensive menu than V Restaurant and easier to reach for reservations by far. Salad, entrees and desserts were top knotch. Warning, if there are just 2 of you, and its a special occasion request an end table or outside, as you could be seated along a long banquet side by side if you... more

My wife and I ate at Grounds on the recommendation of someone who was tasting wine next to us at one of the local wineries. It was indeed a fantastic meal. I ordered the Angus ribeye with mushrooms. It was accompanied by out-of-this-world fresh cut sweet potato fries and greens. My wife had pork chops, which were on special, and... more

And the prices are reasonable too. This place is special and they do it right.. We were here in early June, 2009. Great ambience, good menu selections. I was even able to order a glass of sherry. more

Four of us ate there on a Friday night and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity of the food. The chef sent our table complimentary appetizers which we devoured. Service is casual but friendly and knowledgeable - our server recommended some excellent local wines to complement our meal. Definitely a place to return to. more

Before wine tasting in Murphys, we had lunch there and at first I was worried no one would sit us. Waiters walked by but did not look or say anything. But when finally seated the waitress was very nice and we got our food very fast. I had the grilled eggplant sandwich and it was very good, especially the bread... more

Wonderful!

My husband and I absolutely loved our dinner at Grounds. The food was excellent (I had salmon and my husband had a seafood stew.) The chef even made a special child-friendly meal for our 11-year-old. The service was very efficient and professional. Our dessert (chocolate lava cake) was fantastic! My husband said it was the best meal he's ever had.... more

Grounds is a moderately upscale breakfast and lunch restaurant with their own interpretations of standard Mexican fare and some interesting sandwich choices. The restaurant is attractive, the staff welcoming and friendly, the service excellent, the prices moderate. We had a good meal there and enjoyed ourselves. We visited Grounds at lunchtime on a Monday, and although Murphys is a tourist... more

Although the food preparation was slow it was worth the wait. Eggs Benedict and potato fries are great and the service from Kelsey was friendly and efficient. more
