There's always a crowd of people milling about the corner of Virginia and Highland on weekend mornings; they're waiting for brunch at Murphy's, a handsome white-and-green house that accepts call-aheads, but not reservations. The charming dining area has been kept roomy, creating a comfortable environment but also resulting in slightly longer waits. Chicken, lamb and vegetable dinner specialties are well prepared, as is "the Big Murphy," an enormous baked potato that's a meal in itself. Brunch is served from 8am-3pm on Saturday and Sunday only. Murphy's wine tasting is a highlight.
