Morgan‘s has really got its game back. The service is excellent, the food was delicious and the ambience, as always was warm, comfortable and elegant. Simply one of the best restaurants in the valley and certainly the best restaurant in La Quinta in. We will go again and again and highly recommend it.

The staff was beyond attentive, and pleasantly so given the shortages during the last two years. The cocktails were perfect. My father-in-laws Mai Tai took him to Waikiki. Although the Restaurant has very limited vegan options, what they have are memorably delicious, the decor and furniture could be updated and the menu could offer a few more healthier options, but great for date-night or family night or even singles-night since the multiple bars are hopping with music and happy people.

I ordered the duck and it was literally inedible. Said it sat on a bed of puréed peas and they were whole peas. Absolutely horrible it should be taken off the menu. Replaced it with the tuna and it was good the berries with the onions were not a good combo

Everything about our dinner was magnificent....the food, the service, the ambiance. Two had the scrumptious Pork Chop (great preparation) and one had the bone-in Rib Eye Steak. All tasty but what stood out were the special dishes prepared by the Chef: Scallop appetizer in an amazing sauce served on a scallop shell, white asparagus salad topped with nicely dressed arugula and garnished with prosciutto. And 2 lovely desserts: a Tiramisu dome and beautifully made lemon curd / lemon meringue tart. Plus, a very extensive wine selection. And we are delighted to see a new manager on site. Good going, Waldorf! He sure knows what he's doing!

Rib eye steak was a very thin cut and very under seasoned. Brussels sprouts were mushy. French fries tasted like frozen rather than fresh cut. Service was attentive although inexperienced. The setting is beautiful but that’s not enough to go back.

Had a wonderful dinner here. The atmosphere outside was ideal. Our waitress was amazing (Marilynn) and she could not have been any sweeter. The cocktails were on point... Basil Me Down. Incredible martini! For food, we enjoyed the beet salad (fresh), the short ribs (so tender), the scallops (perfectly seared) and the lobster mac n cheese. Our dessert was an anniversary surprise....very tart, yet light. We will certainly return next year during our annual desert vacation.
