Morels

First time, enjoyed the experience

by carl2percival

Friday evening outside patio 7:45, 3 tables taken, 9:15 filling up. Nice evening, early with people inside, why ? Good for us. Our waiter Andy very attentive and a full knowledge of the menu. Like all fairly expensive steak houses if you want to eat big then it’s not for you. I started of with Shrimp with a hot sauce, then Chicken with a side of mash and Mushrooms, both really tasty. Finishing off with a really delicious Thin Pastry with Apple, topped with ice cream. My friend had Escargots to start, then the Sea food bowl he said both were excellent, alas with a side of not so good Pomme Frites. The wine was fine, we picked Beaujolais. After a few hours and coffee, left very happy.

I have been to many Steak house, the ambience, surroundings and space here is much more suited to relaxing with company. Both my friend and I will return.

Finger Food

by peter7621

Food was just fine until my wife noticed the chef/ cook reaching into the shredded lettuce bowl with his bare fingers, forking it into his mouth, and then wiping his fingers on his apron. We were then served our dinners using this self same lettuce.

I would not have said anything, except it made me so ticked off... if this guy has something I don't want on his hands it's going in my mouth... just wanted to stop it also going into your mouth too. (This review is for the Bistro downstairs only).

• Pros: Ambiance, food.
• Cons: Sharing with the chef/ cook.

Best Fondu I've ever Had

by Barbara90210

I love this restaurant. I have been for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. The fondu is great. I love shopping with my daughter and then stopping in for fondu and salad. It's one of my favorite restaurants! Service is very good. Exceptional ambiance upstairs. I enjoy sitting outside - - and people watching. It's located near the fountain, so there is so much to keep us entertained.

• Pros: Easy location

Nice atmosphere, but not the greatest food

by artsysurfer

I went to Morels after a long day of taking guest from another country out. I wanted to take my guest to a nice place, but we were very disappointed.

I wouldn't complain if the price of the food matched the taste...don't get me wrong I will pay good money for good food. We ordered: onion rings, spinach and avocado salad, the salmon, a pasta dish and the special (scallops with fillet mignon) and ratatouille. The service was amazing I'll give them that. The food: the only things that tasted decent were the salad and onion rings. The salmon had no flavor. The pasta was undercooked. the fillet mignon came with a sauce that was flavorless, the scalloped were over cooked and burnt, I had to embarrassingly ask for A1 sauce. The rataouille was fair, but you really can't make a mistake with rataouille.

And, surprisingly the place was packed probably because people knew that there was an Ashanti concert that is right in front of the restaurant and they wanted to be able to eat and see the concert. This was our first time and last time at Morels.

You decide for yourself if you want to go there...good atmosphere, good service, terrible expensive food.

• Pros: ambiance
• Cons: expensive, bad food

worst hugely disappointing and insulting(food wise)!!!!!!!!!

by sunshine1000

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
