Food was great perfect place in the village. We were recommended to order multiple items because the portions are smaller & meant to be shared. We got 4 items 2 apps & 2 entrees. We finished pretty much everything only got 1 box of leftovers.

Morrison’s has become very popular and does require a reservation if you want to assure yourself a table. Do not think you’ll be lucky enough to walk in and sit down. Great food, good service and a nice place to dine at.
