    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.

    Great ambiance here for outside dining. Food was good but very old style with little in way of imagine or interesting presentation. Value was poor and very overpriced, have had a lot better meals for much less.

    Not the resturant we remember from 9 years ago. Used to be good so good that you couldn’t get in without a months reservation, not anymore.
