Hadn't been to Blue Morel in a while. Their menu used to be more inventive and extensive. There are now a half dozen entrees and 3-4 prime steaks. My wife and I weren't wowed by the entree offerings (no specials either) and ordered a hanger steak and NY strip respectively with brussell sprouts and 'butterball' potatoes as accompaniments. We also order fois gras to share from the appetizers. The waitperson returned after a while to let us know that they didn't have the fois gras (might add that the restaurant was nearly empty). We hastily ordered a caesar salad to share. The salad was fine and plentiful for the two of us. The wines on offer by the glass were also good though rather expensive. The steaks arrived and were a disappointment. Though advertised as prime, a large part of each had significant gristle. They were large and there was enough to salvage and enjoy but it was hard work at times. The sides were very good and generous. We didn't order dessert since we had a special dessert waiting at home. Service was fine and attentive.

The restaurant has gone down quite a bit since our last visit. Very expensive for VERY small portions and questionable quality food. I had the salmon which was awful. The cocktails were ok but expensive. In a nutshell, will skip this restaurant for now.

A wonderful surprise with great ambience and a terrific menu. Good selection of fish and meats and each course was tasty, fresh and delicious. The lighting and decor were pleasant with a touch of French ambience. The service staff were pleasant and efficient but at times they were a bit unattentive to our table and we waited a bit long between servings and yet it wasn't crowded. It's a bit pricey but everything seems to be these days. Overall I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Blue Morel for a very good meal and ambience.

While the food is good to very good it doesn't matter, the place is so loud and noisy we left early racing through our meal as we could not even have a discussion because the noise level was so distracting

I chose this place because I wanted an upscale breakfast with family. What I got was a bad hotel buffet with few choices, cold food, and a lousy atmosphere. Maybe it is better for dinner. Menu online was not accurate and did not mention this awful buffet.

Service was fair The server never greated us or introduced himself. All servers were on their phones. Had to ask for check. Didn’t ask how the meal was. There were only a couple of tables with diners so it wasn’t that they were busy. I has the black bass and it had a lot of bones. Parmeseam gnocchi were very dry. Our first time dining. Won’t be going back
