Editorial Review for Morels – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
This French eatery has all the trappings of a Parisian bistro re-creation, from the zinc bar to the pressed-tin ceiling. Downstairs, the dining room is operates like a busy urban eatery; upstairs, a more serious vibe prevails, with roomy, ruby-red booths, crisp, white tablecloths and rolling carts that deliver diners' meals. The upstairs serves prime beef, while the more modest cafe offers working-class French fare. Bubbling pots of traditional kirsch-spiked Gruyere fondue are popular.

Succulent fruit of the sea (oyster on the 1/2 shell) is what I longed for; dirty stinky tasting feet is what I got. Of course I returned them. I can only pray physically I do not contract some vial disease nor to dismiss the detestable branding on my brain. The $15.00 blt contained 3 cuts from 1/2 pc bacon on one side of 1/2 sandwich. My $10.00 bloody mary was overpowered with worstershire sauce. No condiments and no liquor AND since the waiter whom I must say was very nice just did not make it as a server.(maybe a Dr.) The poor gal trying to light the candles did all the extra stuff which should have been the norm, caught grief from the bartender complaining the server should be handling the Witch(me) I politely reminded the gal to inform the ((Ihate to call him a bartender (not to insult the profession) ))mixer of drinks pphft. He needs to go back to the school of libations. +++ Do they think the patron cannot hear their innuendos and remarks. PLUS the false advertising on the menu discribing . OH WELL!!! If this is your idea of a good time Morels is for you. HOWEVER If you are from and on this planet, GO ANYWHERE ELSE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME sunshine1000

My friend and I have loved this restaurant because of Patty, who worked there until recently. She was always pleasant and efficient. It was a joy being served by her. We miss her, and now we do not have a reason to go back. I am sorry.

Pros: A beautiful view of the grove

Cons: we miss Patty.
