    Not up to its usual standard. Our meal was acceptable but not what we’ve experienced on prior visits. Our server, besides being rude, was far from the caliber of wait staff you’d expect at this upscale restaurant. It is a favorite and I don’t intend to give it up. Maybe it was just one of those nights … except for the waiter who might want to consider a career change.

    Sat in the lounge. Brian behind the bar was a pleasure and made the evening all that much better.

    The food was delicious but I ordered a $65 steak and it was quite disappointing to have a small piece of steak arrive on my plate with absolutely nothing else with it, no garnish or anything. There should be something else on the plate for that price.

    The food is not worth the prices. Average at best. The service was great and it has nice atmosphere. It’s convenient if you are staying at the hotel but again, food was not great.

    Service was extremely slow. 20 minutes to first drink (after having to track someone down) and over an hour to our appetizers. 2 hour+ total dining time. The excuse was that they are very busy. This was a special occasion.

    You feel like with Morgan’s the venue is so much better than the actual service and food. We’ve been there maybe 20 times and the food is never really that great for the prices that they charge. Even worse, the service is never really that great.
