    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.

    Worth every dollar spent at this restaurant!! The service was excellent from the server, Alfonso and his helper Joel. The ambience is perfect for a date night. We got the ribeye and filet mignon. Both cooked deliciously. They gave us a free cheesecake for our anniversary!! It's was soooo good. One of the best resort restaurants we've had!!

    We have dined here many times, unfortunately this experience was disappointing. We ordered a bottle of premium white wine. It wasn’t chilled and we had to request an ice bucket. At first the waiter was attentive, but as they got busier he was absent. . Other waiters served our entree, and when we finished our meal we had to ask for our waiter/bill.
