We had a wonderful experience. First time dining at Tujsque’s. Lea, Victoria and Latonia (sp) did an awesome job taking care of our table. Loved the vegetarian option, as well as the Turkey and dressing .. only complaint was the way to divide up the bill… two were individual, two were together. Will still give 5. Stars

We had 5 different appetizers and 5 different entrees for our Thanksgiving meal and each and every one of them was spectacular. A fabulous meal with delicious sauces, wonderful food pairings and perfectly cooked meats. Would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone.

Our experience at Muriel's is always good. We went for Thanksgiving and were very pleased. The staff was very friendly and did a stellar job of managing all of the patrons. The food was good. Our only complaint was that our broccolini was ice cold, but we didn't go there for that. 🙂 Honestly, with such a huge crowd, we were delighted that this was our only gripe. Well done Muriel's!
