    Had the perfect Valentine's Day dinner at the Morris! Shoutout to Becca the hostess, she made our experience so fun and kind from the moment we walked through the door! Drinks and food were delicious! We loved every bite of our meal! The service was amazing- every server and bartender were sweet, helpful, and friendly- I was I could remember everyone's names! We also stayed at the Morris House Hotel, but forgot a wine opener- No worries though because the Morris were more than happy to open our bottle for us! Would love to go again!!

    Perfect Valentine’s dinner. Service was incredible, always there when needed yet had plenty of privacy. We had a table outside which was beautiful and felt magical. The heaters made it feel cozy and they also provided blankets for our laps. Started with the cheese board which was delicious. A wide variety of cheeses all that were balanced in flavor and texture. I then had the salmon that was perfectly cooked, crispy skin with tender meat underneath. My husband had the pork belly which he thoroughly enjoyed. The cocktail (I had the Sicilian with vodka) was expertly prepare and my glass of Chardonnay at dinner was also very good. We have been to Talula’s Garden many times and have also had wonderful meals and service. One of my favorite restaurants in the city.
