    LOVED having a piano player/singer in bar area- he was great! Also great were our server/bussers…Very attentive to detail and friendly. The vibe here is super nice- looking forward to coming back tonight. We didn’t eat outside last night (too cold) but hoping tonight we can… or at least enjoy it with a heater. Looks so pretty outside! We both ate the cod - really good!!!

    Our first visit and it did not disappoint. We had the filet from the sunset menu and it was excellent. Martinis and Manhattans top notch. Service from Maricruz was superb. Will definitely make this a must on our next trip to the desert.

    We had an enjoyable date night dinner at Morgan's. We started with the beef carpaccio and then had the shortrib and cod. We enjoyed a couple of the cocktails from their list. The setting was nice, the food was good, and the service was good. A very enjoyable evening.

    Better the second time around. Food still leaves something to be desired. Cod was fishy tasting. But the rest of the dish was good. Octopus was ok, tough- overcooked. Service was much better; more attentive.

    Service was ok. Food was hit or miss. Chicken was great, beef special was dry and bland. Ok experience; nothing special.

    We love going to Morgan’s in the Desert. They food is delicious and the service is outstanding. They have recently remodeled and the ambiance is inviting and warm. We have enjoyed both the regular menu and the Sunset menu - both are equally appealing. The chilled corn soup was amazing!
