    Meril is usually very loud; but, today we were early birds and beat the crowd. From bartender to waitress to food runner everyone was knowledgeable, outgoing and friendly. The food speaks for itself but the staff really shone today.

    Great server, good timing in service, hot dishes. There were too many birthdays celebrated and the constant yelling for them was unnecessary. It was too much like days of Applebee's. But otherwise, everything was good. We had a party of 6 and we were all left feeling good about the meal and restaurant. I take guests here a lot and they're always impressed. Kudos!

    Morrow’s has become one of our must visit spots in New Orleans. Every dish was served hot and fresh, and the portions were more than generous. Bbq crab claws are so flavorful and the crawfish bread is so cheesy yet perfectly toasted on the outside!

    Wait Staff was good and friendly. However they had too many tables to wait on which kept them from taking care of customers. Had to ask for drink refills. Long waits between getting drinks, ordering main course, ordering dessert and getting check. The wait staff was very busy and kind however they just had too many tables to wait on to provide the service for this caliber of restaurant. Manager kept walking around and didn't notice, when we ask her for drink refills she "jumped" the new waiter who was diligently trying.
