   We have dined here many, many times. The food is always exceptional, and the service usually is too. Unfortunately, the service last night was not what we have been accustomed to. We were told by our server that we couldn’t have bread until after we ordered our food (why would you say that?) and I had to ask for my glass of wine twice after I had already ordered it more than 10 minutes before - my husband ordered his cocktail at the same time and it came out within 5 minutes. Seemed strange considering you only have to pour a glass of wine. Server didn’t check on us with our meals until we were almost finished eating. The staff assisting the server was fantastic and seemed way more attentive than the main server. Not sure what the deal was, but he seemed very dismissive of us. Kind of funny since we spend a lot of money at this resort and restaurant every year. May stick to Ruth’s Chris going forward since I know the service will be exceptional every single time.

   Very poor experience. Every entrée was less than satisfactory. For the price we paid we had hoped for a more special evening. It was not the halibut tasted like cardboard ..very dry and flavorless; the scallops were rubbery and tasteless ….mushroom sides were un chewable. Never to return!

   Everything was fantastic, but the ambience/setting was second to none. I also just want to give the wait staff props during a time when staffing is so difficult. Theses guys are the top professionals.

    The food was just average. I have eaten there a number of times in years past. The whole experience was great. I guess restaurants go through their lifecycle. This lifecycle is over. Won’t go back again.

    As a single diner, I felt slighted by the wait staff compared to the diners around me. They received elaborate descriptions of the starters, special and highlights on the menu. Their drinks were refilled. They were offered tastes of the wines they were choosing. I received none of this. I would not recommend Morgan's in the Desert to anyone who chooses to dine alone as they don't seem to offer the same customer service.

    Never go back. Food & drinks were horrible! Don’t know how this place rated with 4+ stars. I would give zero stars if I could. Not worth the $190 spent! Don’t waste your time at this place. Not worth it!

    We were a party of three. Two of us ordered the lobster with several side dishes. Both lobster tails came with an odor similar to that of ammonia, which would indicate that the tails weren’t fresh. I returned mine to the kitchen in exchange for another dish. The intention of this report about our experience is in hopes that this will somehow get back to the chef who sent these dishes out to the table last night in this condition. Simply smelling the tails, would have impeded this from occurring. The odor was unmistakable.

    My family and I ate dinner in Celebration of my wife’s birthday. The ambiance was pleasant, with a live singing pianist playing a wide variety of songs at comfortable volume. Marylin was our server along with Javier. They were great. My old fashioned was served unbelievably fast and was very well made. I had the Colorado Lamb Rack, which I thoroughly enjoyed. My daughters had the scallops and lobster mac&cheese, and my wife the sea bass. Everyone loved their meals, no issues, and we definitely come back soon.

    We were not acknowledged for 15 minutes after we were seated. No acknowledgment of our anniversary. Waiter saw us, helped the table right next to us, then left us waiting. When we finally did get food, our asparagus was so burnt, we didn’t eat it. The waiter did not inquire as to why the food wasn’t touched. The cocktails were $24, and not at all special. I’ve had better at a dive bar. The steak was basic, chewy, and flavorless. Adam was our server, and he was mediocre at best. Not top notch at all. Expect disappointment if you go to Morgan’s. They need to take notes from who they clearly want to be, but fail at. Morton’s. Go to Morton’s.
