    My husband and I dined at Morrow Steak for our anniversary. There was a short wait when we arrived, so we sat at the bar and ordered drinks. I took in the ambiance as we sat there. It is beautifully decorated and intimate with an upscale vibe and romantic aesthetic. The music was nice but a little louder than expected, adding to the moderate noise level. Our drinks were great. He had the Old Fancy which was very boozy. I had the Desire Sidecar which was visually appealing, delicious, and boozy. The hostess arrived to seat us shortly after we got our drinks, but we had to pay the bar tab before we could go to our table. There isn’t much space between separate tables, but we had nice neighbors who were also celebrating their anniversary and gave us their food recommendations. We ordered the flaming tomahawk 4-course meal from the Valentine’s menu. It was $275 and included a caesar salad, Mardi Gras shrimp appetizer, tomahawk steak (came with Morrow steak sauce, truffle butter, and my fave chimichurri), broccolini, garlic mash, and a slice of Mardi Gras cheesecake to share. Sadly, they must’ve ran out of the chocolate covered strawberry cheesecake. We ordered more drinks - Pinot Noir for hubby and a sangria for me. The sangria was pretty and tasty, but not boozy. The steak came out flaming, as described. Our server Janae was excellent. She cut some leaner slices for me and continued to cook them on the hot plate since I don’t like fat and wanted medium well, but hubby loves medium cooked fatty steak. The steak was delectable. I enjoyed the side dishes and dessert too. The attention to detail and presentation of everything from decor to glassware to cocktails and food was noteworthy. The bill was about $400 with gratuity, not including the two drinks from the bar tab, so it was quite pricey. But I’d definitely recommend for special occasions.

    the omakase was absolutely outstanding and the pistacchio beignets were mind blowing. we got great, personable service. the ONLY downside, one not big enough to take off stars, was the music. the genres were super random and the volume was too loud to hear my partner most of the time even though the rest of the restaurant was mostly empty. that being said though, i’d still go back even if they didn’t make any change to the music… hope they do though
