    The servers were attentive and the steak tenderloin medallions were like butter. The choc martini was also amazing.

    Absolutely amazing! Started with bread service, crab cakes and the curried cauliflower, a touch a curry sweetness in the cream sauce, be careful it is craveable. The citrus salad is so refreshing perfect for summer; the butter lettuce melts in your mouth with a pop of flavors and crunch. The steak and sides- Chef's kiss. Service was most impressive.

    I love Morgan’s. The whole experience is fabulous. All of the servers are totally on top of it — Javier and Jesus were gems! They made sure everything was fantastic. The food and cocktails are excellent. The short ribs are melt in your mouth yummy. And if you still have room, the cheesecake will put you over the edge. Thank you!!

    Arrived at 6PM. Greeted warmly and directed to our table for four past the bar from which emanated lovely piano music. Cocktails were great. Service pretty good and food just OK. Ambiance is great and all of us has a great time. We’ll definitely head over to Morgan’s again.

    Morgan’s is an absolute gem! The food was incredibly delicious—each dish was thoughtfully crafted and bursting with flavor. You can tell they care about quality and presentation. The ambiance was just right—elegant yet relaxed, with a warm, welcoming vibe. The music added the perfect touch, setting a chill yet sophisticated mood without ever being too loud. From start to finish, it was a memorable dining experience. Can’t wait to come back!

    Javier was a great server! We enjoyed a margarita as an entry cocktail, then we had the special 30oz tomahawk steak. It was cooked to perfection. The loaded potato was a perfect pairing and that cheesecake was the cherry on top of a wonderful meal.
