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

Excellent good but menu more limited than in the past and the noise level is excruciating when large parties are seated

Not what it used to be, we spent $300 for 3 people and it was not worth it at all. We had to leave before dessert because the noise level of the adjacent large party was deafening. For the prices that they are charging, there are a whole lot of other restaurants that offer a more enjoyable dining experience than this was.

I feel bad for giving a lower review, but this restaurant is not what I was expecting at all. My vegetables were drowned in butter, the drinks looked like I made them at home. The staff were lovely and were doing their best, but honestly this restaurant made me feel like I was in a budget dining hall in the 80s. Its a nice restaurant by itself with no expectations, but I went here for a romantic date night. It's connected to the hotel, which I did not know. The vibes were just not what was advertised and I wish I had seen a review before going to tell me that.
