    The Team at Morel do not miss a beat. Date night with my wife was superb, everything from the ambiance and wonderful staff to of course the amazing food! We hadn't been to the restaurant in over a year and the food was better than I remember! Bravo Morel for continuing to crush dinning standard!

    Consistently outstanding. My date said it was one of the best meals they’ve ever had, and they’re a foodie who lives in Chicago.

    Great atmosphere and food. It was hard deciding what to try, but both dishes were awesome. We'll just have to go back to try the rest.

    A great experience! Seasonal local ingredients (morels, ramps, asparagus, fiddleheads...) and warm attentive service. More choice in desserts would be helpful.
