This was my second experience dining at The Morris. We participated in Restaurant Week and the menu had a lot of great options, and four courses! The mushroom soup was really delicious and I had the rabbit pot pie. The portion was very generous - I had to bring most of it home! Also, the specialty cocktails were amazing and it was nice to have the flight option to taste them both. The service was very pleasant and charming as well. Looking forward to my next dining experience!

We came here for my wife’s birthday. We have a huge Philly list and always think we know the best spots…and continue to add more “best” restaurants. Their outdoor seating is cozy and cute.
The food was delicious. We got the salmon and the rabbit pot pie. The devil eggs were lovely. The salmon roe on top was perfect. The black currant posset was to die for. Our waitress Erin was fantastic. She was attentive and also shared our new Wicked obsession.

Stopped in after the theater, and know we’ve found a neighborhood gem! Cozy atmosphere, which was the perfect setting to take the chill out of the air. Excellent bar service by Leith, drinks, as well as personality. Learned a little (Know why Thomas Jefferson hangs upside down?), conversed some, and felt completely welcome. Ordered the Green Shrimp Scampi, which was delectable, as an appetizer. Then, I had the Grilled Caesar Salad, and my husband ordered the Mushroom Pot Pie, before we shared the cheesecake. All were delicious. Will definitely return, and return more than once. 🙃

Excellent meal at this newish restaurant adjacent to the Morris Hotel. When we made the reservation, we saw a restaurant week menu, but it wasn’t until the restaurant called us to confirm we were coming and that we knew it was only restaurant week ONLY menu that we said sure that would be fine. Well… This meal was stellar from start to finish. As there amuse Bouche, they had a pallet cleanser, which could be alcoholic or non-alcoholic we chose the alcoholic, which was a Porto Blanco plus Ancho Reyes With banana syrup and cucumber. I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing that was and yes, it was a palate cleanser.

We both started with the gazpacho soup -excellent and it had a great twist using the smoked almonds as well as the fennel. For our second, we got two different salads one with duck prosciutto, and fresh figs… I am a fresh fig freak that …means don’t tell me you’re putting in figs if they’re not fresh -and these were amazing. The other salad had asparagus with spinach and hard boiled egg on it just excellent. For our mains, I got the salmon and they cooked it medium rare as I requested, and it was excellent, sitting on a bed of greens around the outside surrounded by a pitted fava bean and some delicately cooked carrots. My partner got the pork chop and it was cooked to perfection as well as being accompanied by this amazing coleslaw that balanced it perfectly. For desserts, he got the chocolate bourbon cake, and I got, the lemon prosset What. It was essentially like a lemon crème brûlée but it was excellent. Our server Erin could not have been more amazing helpful and attentive. For decor I think the outside is definitely much cooler than the inside… The bar area is a little bit more forward in terms of decor, but the back area the restaurant is just so so don’t let that you definitely give this place a try

What a charming restaurant this place is! We sat outside (tents and heaters) and the ambiance is scenic and easygoing. We started with the beignets with Nutella, and they were delicious. The pillowy softness on the inside with the nice crunch and powdered sugar on the outside warms your soul on a cold day in Philly. I did the duckin’ waffles and this was a truly unwise twist to chicken and waffles. The cherry maple syrup is good but was a bit thick for my liking. The duck is truly amazing and flavorful. I ordered the fall lemonade which was pear spiced and was delicious. Very flavorful and reminds me of fall. The waffles were crunchy and balanced the duck pretty well. The eggs “bennies” were also really great with plenty of sauce. The potatoes on the side were nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside (like a breakfast French fry).

I would recommend trying the morris restaurant!
