Great for outdoor dining

The Morris is a new restaurant and bar in a truly unique location. It’s connected to a boutique, 17 room colonial hotel and courtyard located right next to Washington Square Park. We have a scratch kitchen that only uses the freshest ingredients available by season. Our bar program consists of delicious hand-crafted cocktails, organic wines, selection of local beers, and spirit-free beverages. Whether it's for a casual night out, business dinner, or date night, we are so excited to serve you in our newly renovate dining room or in the garden courtyard*!

*We want to inform our guests that the courtyard is fully tented and heated throughout the winter!

Amazing restaurant with the best staff ever. It’s a shame the owners suck and are closing it because they weren’t prepared to pay the best in class staff a living wage.

Been to The Morris a few times now and the steak and eggs with potatoes is a must try. Servers are great and helpful. Food takes a little long to prepare compared to some other restaurants but definitely one of my favorites in center city.

Sad to hear The Morris will be closing. First and last time, since they are closing in a few days and I’m not from Philly. Clarence is one of the best waiters I’ve ever had and made the experience that much better. Would highly recommend going before they close their doors.

Excellent! A wonderful meal & experience until we heard they are closing on March 9th. It will be a terrible loss to the Philadelphia dining scene.
