    Disappointed in both service and several of the food items. It was Christmas Day, an atmosphere seemed cold and Butternut Squash Linguine was all spice and no flavor. Au gratin potatoes were tasteless. We love the other resort restaurants. Unfortunately, I could not recommend Morgan’s.

    Our service was impeccable. Our dinner was delicious. Unfortunately, our table was directly in front of a door that opened and closed for both patrons and waiters. And every time it opened, it was freezing. We ordered a cocktail and an appetizer. And the second the appetizer was done they had asked twice if we were done with it, our dinner plate was served. I commented to the waiter. It was much too quick. I hadn’t even finished my cocktail and I wanted a glass of wine with dinner. It was rushed.

    Food was good but not great. Server was pushy and aggressive. LGs is a better option.

    We checked in 6 minutes late due to a valet parking delay. We were informed since we were “more than 15 minutes late” (NOT, and their valet issue) they had given our table away. They sat us outside with no heater. Then, server brought wrong wine, when asked for cracked pepper she put a cafeteria-type shaker on the table. And more. Rushed. Won’t go back.

    I’ve had great experiences at Morgans but this was not one of them. Service was rough, ambiance was less an imperative and overall it was a bit if an embarrassment as we dine there often.
