• Murry’s has embraced the “jazz-club meets dinner” vibe: live jazz music almost nightly (solo piano Mon–Thu, trio Saturdays, and special artist Sundays) which adds a rich layer to the dining experience.
Murry's: Jazz Restaurant in Columbia, MO
Vibe: Farm-to-table focused, seasonal menu, “whole-animal” philosophy. Great for a slightly elevated, locally-inspired dinner.
Barred Owl Butcher & Table
Best pizza, gyros chicken wings and salads. Overall all of the food is amazing, locally owned, it’s an oldie but goodie. Hidden gem
High-end steakhouse with an excellent wine selection, ideal for special occasions or a refined night out. 
If you’re craving premium steak and wine-pairing, this is one of the best in town.

farm-inspired Midwestern cuisine, relaxed but elevated. 
Why you should go: Great for groups or if you like trying several items rather than one big entrée.
Tip: They use seasonal menus — definitely ask for what’s fresh and special that day.
