The restaurant is located in the harbour. The view is great. The service is excellent. The food is magnificent. We have ordered lobster meals. The lobster is at least 1.5-2 lbs. it’s cooked just right. The cole slaw and potato salad are yummy. The apple crisp is on the sweet side but it’s still good. The buns are cold but upon request the server sent them back to be toasted. I had difficulty in cracking one claw and the server helped me to cut it.
Overall I’m extremely happy with Murphy’s. I’ll definitely return.
First time here. We came in close-ish to closing time and were seated outside. I think they forgot about us, because we sat for about 20 minutes before we got any service. However, once we did get service, it was great. Our server gal was nice and friendly and offered us free drinks and ended up giving us an extra 15% off on our bill for our troubles. Not really mad about it because, hey, it happens. I appreciate what they did to make up for it. My only real complaint is regarding the portions; while the food we had was really, really good, I did find it a little too pricey for the amount of food we got. I don't know if I'd come here too often because of the cost, but it's definitely worth a visit if you can afford it!
This place was SO GOOD! It was so neat being right on the water, watching the waves and the boats while the sun was setting over the water. The feel of the restaurant and the staff were all amazing. The food was so good! Can’t wait for our next trip out east so we can pop in again!
Although the service was very slow, the waitress was friendly and the wait was worth it because the lobster quesadillas are to die for! The portion of lobster inside is very generous and the taste is divine! The view on the waterfront is gorgeous.
Amazing restaurant! We had the lobster meal and it was absolutely delicious. The waiting time to get seated and for the meal to arrive was appropriate and the portion was very good as well. The lobster came with rice, corn, bread and a small salad. The lobster was of a decent size also. You should definitely visit this place!
Lovely seafood. The people who work there are really friendly and helpful with what you may want to order. The fish and chips were very tasty. They also have a nice view of the water.
If you're coming to Halifax, you definitely want to eat here for market priced lobster & fresh seafood! You can't get a better location and view of the harbour, tasty food, great service, and a real Halifax experience! Down on the waterfront close to all of the fun things to do in Halifax, this is a great spot for lunch or dinner with friends! I love coming here for lobster and I never feel that it's overpriced or marked up too high! Murphy's on the water is awesome!

The fun began with the phone call. The agent who took our reservation was informative and happy. One could tell that the evening was going to be a fun experience. We were given all the proper details of what procedures were to be followed and any instructions that may help. They were informative and nothing left unknown. The reservation was followed up by an email with details. Learned of the food allergy, & heeded to dietary needs.
The evening began with a warm welcome and a fantastic introduction. There was live entertainment. Some great old tunes that everyone joined in on song. The food. Amazzzzing. The wine pairing was spot on. They were very attentive to everyone on board. Always mingling, with mask on, and sharing with everyone. There was great laughter, singing, delicious food, perfect set up (with social distancing) and the evening settled with an amazing sunset. This is a Nova Scotia experience I recommend for all. I’ll be back again for sure. Thank you for a fantastic memorable evening. It was accomplished to perfection.
Very happy with out visit to Murphy's when we were in Nova Scotia, right as the lockdown was beginning in March. They have 2 levels so we took the Ocean view on the 1st floor. Very nice menu, they offer 3 sizes of Lobster if that is what you are going for and they are market priced accordingly. I had the jumbo shrimp app with the fisherman's pie - it was very very good. Will repeat on our next trip to NS once we are past Covid
Good place to eat with a very good view of the harbour. Service that we experienced was very good. We enjoyed both the fish and chips and a shrimp dish. Not our first visit and will be back again.
