    The food was delicious. The ambiance was incredible. My family and I had a really good time. We were disappointed that on Mother's Day we couldn't have the also famous brunch they used to do back in the day. We didn't know they discontinued it. BRING IT BACK!!. But overall we still had a great time.

    Today, I did a solo brunch date on Easter Sunday at Degrees Bistro. It was amazing! I went at 10:30am, so it was fairly quiet but there were a few patrons already dining. The management, wait staff, bartender, and everyone I came in contact with were accommodating and gave superior customer service. I ordered the open face egg white omelet, and the green drink and the food was delicious. I ordered desert to go and finished it in the car on the way home. Everything came timely, fresh, and hot. Thank you for making this holiday special! I will be back and will bring a few friend's next time.

    The mixologist at Morris is a genius, and I loved the fact that we could tell him our favorite flavor profiles, and he could improvise brilliant cocktails! Egg whites especially appreciated, and did not mind paying the extra dollar. I did wish Morris had a real kitchen, though… Charcuterie plates and sandwiches only go so far, and then you want some hot, cooked tasty snacks to with those great cocktails.
