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!

    Such a Philadelphia atmosphere-walking into the bar upon entering, the main wall features a beautiful and massy painting of Ben Franklin…moving on to the dining room, find another massive image of George Washington and you are almost overwhelmed with the wonderful aroma of the foods on the menu! I loved the Polenta Cake appetizer topped with pine nuts, black pepper - lightly fried…my friend enjoyed the pear salad. For dinner he ordered the pork roulade which was delightful. I ordered the Fois Gras which is not on the menu and was a special. After one bite the delicious flavor exploded in my mouth but the serving was almost gone. I never was served a smaller serving…almost ridiculous. It should not have left the kitchen! The waitress, Erin, quickly took it back and I ordered the filet, which was prepared to perfection! It was served quickly as I like my steak very rare! For dessert, I really went over the top ordering the Cassis Posset which was one of the best desserts I ever enjoyed — a Cassis flavored custard, bruleed apples, creme chantilly, and topped with shaved chocolate! All in all a fabulous meal! By all means, make reservations, and go! Ask for Erin… just a terrific server! GO!

    We went here for the first time and everything was incredible! The brunch is an instant classic, the service from Lucas was attentive and hospitable despite having a full section, and the manager was around and frequently checking on tables. So thrilled with this experience and we can’t wait to come back!
