“Really like it here. Good casual and unpretentious vibes, accompanied by solid food and drinks. Service is the same, spot on and low pressure without missing a beat. A great place to spend an evening with friends or family. My only wish is that they’d push the “no minors” to 9pm from 8pm, as 8pm is fairly early on a nice summer night to take the family home. Would result in me being there with my (pre)teenage kids more often.“

“*THANK YOU so much for NO animal-cruelty STAMPEDE ON THE TVS* That’s why we initially choose this bar over others for watching the World Cup but then we were lucky enough to sit at the bar and be looked after by Zach.

Original Joes, I hope you know how lucky you are to have this legend behind the bar serving *the best* vibes and anticipating our every need while doing 1,846,980 other tasks to make a super busy World Cup game day run smoothly! Zach is genuinely kind, so calm amongst the chaos, and such a hard worker yet made it all look effortless.

Other aspects we loved - great location, loved the great choices of seats (at the bar / high tops / booths) and big screens everywhere so there’s not a bad seat in the house. Great drinks, good food and overall fantastic experience… but seriously, Zach is so next-level – come here just to watch this fantastic bartender work some magic :)“

“The view was beautiful and the pistou pasta was one of the most delicious pasta dishes we’ve ever had. The space is beautiful and modern with a lovely view from the floor to ceiling windows. There’s also a private dining room for parties.
High chairs and kids menu available. The kids menu is better than most with healthy options as well as the standard kid fare. The kid’s portion was generous too. We ordered the kid’s salmon with broccolini, mash potatoes and veggies. The pricing was good too.

Excellent service and very good cooking.
A lot of choices, however I would of liked more vegetables in the portion.
Starch+ vegies= same size as meat. For healthier choice meat 1/ 4 and veggies 1/ 2, straches 1/4...
Just a thought...“

She was working alone, and even though was attending a 40th birthday party for a special friend,and there were over 35 people in our group alone, she was so prompt, friendly and we never waited for drinks and/or food, Great job Aram and Rob for hiring this young lady and many thanks to you all for a fabulous evening. Also, a shout out to Ryan, the Chef, whose food is always delicious, hot and in my estimation, Murdoch's has the BEST and most varied assortment of food. Fond regards and many thanks. Cindy“
