Donald McIsaac erected this beautiful three storey brick building in 1862-1864 on Sims Corner, so called because the property had been in the possession of Thomas and Charlotte Alchorn Sims from 1806.


The most colourful owner and occupant of the building was Mr. P.P. Gillis, who ran the “Red Pharmacy” between 1895 and 1910.


A drug-store in the front half of the building and a reputed conviviality shop in the rear, proved very popular with local businessmen while prohibition was in effect. This location has also been a large family home, apartments and a barber shop.


In the fall of 2005 local restaurateur Murphy's purchased the building and began the process of renovating to create what you are experiencing today.


Murphy Hospitality Group is proud to present you with Prince Edward Island’s first authentic Steakhouse, and “Atlantic Canada’s Premier Steakhouse Experience”.

    Amy our waitress was fantastic. I had the 8oz tenderloin well done and it was cooked perfectly and still tender and juicy. My wife had the burger and says it was delicious. Great food and look forward to going back.

    A little pricey, but that is the world we live in. You can't even stay home and have an affordable meal nowadays! Might as well eat out.

    Visiting PEI to meet our new grand baby also celebrating my husband’s birthday and retirement. Oysters were fresh and delicious, steaks cooked to perfection. Friendly service, classic steakhouse atmosphere, loved it, would definitely book it again for a special celebration.

    Our server Amy was absolutely fantastic! She took such good care of us and was always quick to clear dirty dishes from the table. She had a lovely personality and very friendly. She spoiled my sister’s two small children and went out of her way to make our visit the best one yet! I love Sims and I will always come back. Best steak on the island!
