I have never been to either place so I would love some suggestions for dinner. Also, if there are any places to get a great espresso/cappuccino, that would be great to know as well. I have heard Taste in Plymouth is very good, but yahoo maps says it's over an hour from Murphys. If that is true, is it worth the long drive? Thanks in advance.

It was a creative menu and very good service. The only thing I really remember eating was lamb with lavender salt, but it all was good! Tue Nov 14 23:28:56 -0800 2006 2015618 13185 staciefo
