    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!

    One of my favorite center city cafes. Great food, drinks and it's beautiful. We had fried shrimp, Brussel sprouts, french onion soup, chicken ceasar salad. We also had a couple christmassy drinks. Everything fun and fabulous I go at least 4 times a year. I always bring someone because it's great

    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!
