About Murray's
Should you book Murray's in Minneapolis? It can make sense if the schedule fits your plans. Murray's has evening hours every day, with additional midday hours Tuesday through Friday.
The main planning note is formality. Murray's lists a business-casual dress code, so it is better suited to a more put-together meal than to an improvised casual stop. Menu specifics, pricing, service format, room details should be checked directly with the venue before you book.
Book it when the schedule fits

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Murray's reads like the classic institutional steakhouse elevated by decades of use as a setting for important dinners. The room carries what the copy calls 'institutional gravity'—an old-guard temperament that rewards outings where the choice of restaurant is part of the ritual. The effect is a sophisticated, historic dining atmosphere: not flashy or trendy, but deliberately composed for the sort of evenings that matter. Guests come expecting steady service, traditional steakhouse polish and a space that feels as consequential as the people who book it.
Best For
This is a restaurant you reserve when the evening itself is the point. The copy positions Murray's as Downtown Minneapolis’s go-to for marking milestones: birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations, along with business dinners where the setting matters. It’s best for date nights and formal get-togethers rather than casual drop-ins—plan and book in advance. The room’s long-standing reputation means parties looking to underline an occasion will find the tone and timing of the meal aligned with that purpose.
Ordering Tips
Treat Murray's as a classic steakhouse: center the meal on their signature steaks. The Silver Butterknife Steak and Wagyu Filet are highlighted specialties, so plan to order one as the centerpiece. Consider starting with a shareable seafood option such as the BBQ Shrimp, and save room for the Raspberry Pie to finish. Because the restaurant is described as a place you 'book' for important evenings, make a reservation in advance and expect a focused, mealtime experience rather than quick-turn dining.

Where to go if this is not the right fit
Choose Stock & Bond if the group wants a more current steakhouse-style room. Choose Mara Restaurant & Bar if the occasion needs a polished hotel setting and a broader night-out feel.
Restaurant context
How Murray's compares in Minneapolis
Stock & Bond is the sharper comparison if the group wants a newer steakhouse feel and a more contemporary room. Murray's is the safer choice when the service rhythm and classic downtown setting matter more than chasing a newer opening.
noa and Riva Terrace make more sense for a lighter, more current-feeling night. Choose Murray's for a traditional occasion dinner; choose noa or Riva Terrace when ambiance and flexibility matter more than a classic city-restaurant format.
Wood + Paddle is the easier everyday cross-shop, while Mara Restaurant & Bar is stronger when hotel-level polish is part of the brief. Murray's sits in the dependable-occasion lane: useful when booking needs to be easy and the table wants a familiar, composed experience.
