Ian Winslade is now the executive chef of Murphy’s, and he’s at home with the style of comfort fare for which this neighborhood bistro is known. While he plans to keep the restaurant's signature dishes just tweaking them a bit---perhaps the shrimp and grits and the Guinness-braised beef brisket will remain---he plans additions to a Winslade-enlivened menu too. Eggs Benedict on crab cakes with jalapeño hollandaise sauce, a star of the extensive brunch menu, is another dish that's not likely to depart. Other brunch items include omelets and fritattas, all using cage-free eggs. Murphy's is also a bakery, fine wine bar and retail wine store, with lots of wine tasting events and good choices to take home by the bottle as well as many to be savored by the glass. The Pétalos from Descendientes de J. Palacios, a Bierzo, is a good choice with many of the heftier dishes.
