The Morris is a new restaurant and bar in a truly unique location. It’s connected to a boutique, 17 room colonial hotel and courtyard located right next to Washington Square Park. We have a scratch kitchen that only uses the freshest ingredients available by season. Our bar program consists of delicious hand-crafted cocktails, organic wines, selection of local beers, and spirit-free beverages. Whether it's for a casual night out, business dinner, or date night, we are so excited to serve you in our newly renovate dining room or in the garden courtyard*!

*We want to inform our guests that the courtyard is fully tented and heated throughout the winter!

    Ever since Chris has become the manager of the Morris restaurant, this has become our favorite place. The transformation has been remarkable. As long as Chris is there, we will continue to frequent this place and recommend it highly.

    The staff at The Morris believe in the little touches. Every detail of the setting, food, and experience feels natural. It is our favorite restaurant in Philly for both nice evenings and birthday dinners. I recommend it to anyone, for either a drink or meal.

    What a beautiful experience. The food was delicious, the staff were amazing and the ambiance was cozy. We sat outside in the heated courtyard, while it poured rain! It was so neat. I can’t wait to return.

    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!!

    The food was delicious! We ordered the shrimp (outstanding) and the beef (also outstanding) and two steaks both cooked perfectly! I wish I had room for dessert. The staff was also very friendly and our waitress was very attentive. Overall, wonderful experience and we will be back!
