   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.

   Great steaks and service. The bread is also excellent. Maybe the dessert/Bread Pudding could be a little bigger.

   Food was overpriced. $8.00 for a cup of coffee is ridiculous! Food was adequate. Nothing more.

    The food was over priced for what was served. The wine was unfortunately marked up beyond words. The service was lackluster. We had high hopes for a big milestone birthday celebration.

    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.

    Waiter was exceptional. We were a little disappointed to have to leave at 10. It was so early to end the evening when we are on a mini vacation. Bartender declined our request for a glass of wine to enjoy outside after closing.

    Six best friends celebrating a milestone birthday! Everyone from the resort and restaurant provided a gracious, welcoming experience. Our birthday girl felt special, the food was made as ordered (the Ahi Tuna entree was my fave) and exceeded everyone’s expectations. Great experience!

    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.

    3 entrees were good. 4th one (scallops had to be sent back - inedible and made her sick the next day. Replacement meal was also inedible and sent back. Ruined what should have been a fun evening with old friends.

    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.

    Mira Cruz our server was genuine, sweet and knowledgeable. Everything you look for in hospitality. I also love a supervisor who rolls up her sleeves and gets involved in service. She served two our courses personally. I just didn’t catch her name. Food notes: tartare served not overly chilled thus nicely presenting a milder texture of the high quality tuna. Broth of the onion soup surprisingly clear while still rich in flavor, a real treat. The citrus caper sauce perfectly accented the beautifully butchered halibut filet. the short rib was sadly very lean or a tad over cooked and therefore a bit dry, but the potato purée was salty and delicious. White chocolate brûlée was a ten yum.

    Since we were staying at the (La Quinta) resort, we thought to take advantage of the on-site restaurants. Morgan's, - the ambiance and views are outstanding. The food is good, but not spectacular. The menu is limited and expensive for what is provided. The server was very sweet and knew the menu. She tried her best, but she handled too many tables. The support staff, tried, they really did, but they were new and inexperienced. As a result, there were long delays between the appetizer salad and the main course. We would have been better off going to LGs or another fine restaurant in town.

    We celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary at Morgan’s in the desert and we were pleasantly surprised that the new GM was Eric Edmunds. He made our night a night to remember. We invited another couple and they could not believe how excellent the service was as well as our delicious selections for our meal. If you are looking for a special place to celebrate or just to have a fabulous meal, I would highly recommend the Gem of La Quinta and celebrate at Morgan’s in the desert. Enjoy!
