Overall, it was a great experience. I had an anniversary dinner here with my wife, and we loved the food and atmosphere. The service was exceptional. It's out of our typical price range, but it is in the heart of Philadelphia, so it is to be expected. It was a night to remember!

Decided on The Morris after seeing an IG post and reviewing the menu and it turned out to be really good. We opted for the dining room which was very charming, but the heated courtyard looked cozy and just as good. We really enjoyed the cocktails, the food, and the service. The hostesses were welcoming and warm and our server, Clarence was just right to for us…he was a vibe. We’ll definitely keep this place in our rotation!

Christmas Eve Seven Fishes dinner was truly spectacular! The newly remodeled restaurant is beautiful, and the ambience was warm and buzzing. Can’t forget the food — which was wonderful. Owner Ellen Yin was there circulating and helping out the staff, which really made the whole night special. Thank you Fork for helping make this year’s Christmas festivities memorable!
