Ben Murphy and his dad, restaurateur Sean Murphy. Molly Schechter.

Restaurateur Sean Murphy opened his third “Eat Here” restaurant Dec. 29. The “soft opening” test drive Dec. 28 was a family affair including Murphy’s wife, Susan Timmins, and son, Ben. Murphy’s partner, Skip Sack, and his wife, Gail, had a gang at their table.

Murphy thanked “the best partner in the world,” along with contractor Don Southerland and kitchen designer Paul Guillaume. He also acknowledged Stan Rutstein, of Michael Saunders & Co., for “staying with it until he got the deal done,” referring to the lease on the space, which had never before been a restaurant.
