    5 stars across the board! My party showed up 10 mins late (our fault totally) and we still were able to get our table right away. Friendly service, cool & relaxed atmosphere. The mocktail (Naranja Picante) that I had was great! My mom enjoyed her NA beer (neither of us drink alcohol). The steak was probably my favorite part! The hangar steak is a 10/10. I finished my meal with the goat cheese cheesecake and WOW it was amazing. Super creamy. Highly recommend Morel for a date night or business dinner! They also ask if you’re celebrating; I assume they do something special. Will be returning!

    Wonderful meal with a great server. He was engaging and attentive. I appreciate that he was around with out being intrusive to the conversation. We enjoyed specialty cocktails and split 3 appetizers (mushroom and polenta, cheese board, beet and goat cheese salad). The rainbow trout was presented beautifully. The ribeye special was large enough to be split. The short rib was tender and flavorful. We were lucky with the last available chocolate cake with espresso ice cream. Highly recommend Morel!

    Still a great spot! It was our first time back in 7 years but as good as we remembered it. The drinks are small but strong. The food is still incredible. If you don't order something with mushrooms in it you are doing yourself a disservice! As we were celebrating our first wedding anniversary the maître D made sure we got the best table in the place and they brought us free champagne after our meal, a very nice touch! It's only a 50 topper so make your reservations well ahead of time. A must visit in downtown Milwaukee!

    This is my favorite restaurant in Milwaukee. The lamb carpaccio and mushroom fricasse are to die for, but you can’t go wrong with anything. Their craft cocktails are above and beyond too!

    As always, Morel does not disappoint. The knowledge of the menu by the staff is best in class. Overall service and quality of food excels.
