    Overall it's an amazing restaurant. You definitely need a reservation. However, the hostess was a little stuffy. We checked in and were 20 minutes early. We were told we had to wait. Walked around for 10 minutes and came back. Another couple went to check in with same reservation time as us and were going to be seated - until I stepped forward to question why before us. Once you get seated, the ambiance, service, food and personable staff make up for how the experience started. Definitely save room for dessert. Delicious

    My husband and I dined at Morrow Steak for our anniversary. There was a short wait when we arrived, so we sat at the bar and ordered drinks. I took in the ambiance as we sat there. It is beautifully decorated and intimate with an upscale vibe and romantic aesthetic. The music was nice but a little louder than expected, adding to the moderate noise level. Our drinks were great. He had the Old Fancy which was very boozy. I had the Desire Sidecar which was visually appealing, delicious, and boozy. The hostess arrived to seat us shortly after we got our drinks, but we had to pay the bar tab before we could go to our table. There isn’t much space between separate tables, but we had nice neighbors who were also celebrating their anniversary and gave us their food recommendations. We ordered the flaming tomahawk 4-course meal from the Valentine’s menu. It was $275 and included a caesar salad, Mardi Gras shrimp appetizer, tomahawk steak (came with Morrow steak sauce, truffle butter, and my fave chimichurri), broccolini, garlic mash, and a slice of Mardi Gras cheesecake to share. Sadly, they must’ve ran out of the chocolate covered strawberry cheesecake. We ordered more drinks - Pinot Noir for hubby and a sangria for me. The sangria was pretty and tasty, but not boozy. The steak came out flaming, as described. Our server Janae was excellent. She cut some leaner slices for me and continued to cook them on the hot plate since I don’t like fat and wanted medium well, but hubby loves medium cooked fatty steak. The steak was delectable. I enjoyed the side dishes and dessert too. The attention to detail and presentation of everything from decor to glassware to cocktails and food was noteworthy. The bill was about $400 with gratuity, not including the two drinks from the bar tab, so it was quite pricey. But I’d definitely recommend for special occasions.

    The service and food were all 10/10. Justin was great, so was supporting staff and nothing we ate (and we ordered A LOT! The charcuterie board, gumbo, pork cheeks, arancini, crab omelette, shrimp and grits, cocktails like the Left Shark, Pear drink, you NAME IT) wasn’t DELICIOUS. This was for brunch so definitely coming back for dinner and just making this a frequent spot. Loved it!

    As usual, we had a very good experience. We had one of our two preferred servers (Rivers and Sarah) take care of us. Rivers was accommodating and attentive; Sarah stopped by to say hello. The Sardinian red was a very good match for the new funghi pizza. We asked Rivers about the availability of fresh thyme for the pizza and he brought some out. It turned a very good pie into an excellent one. The molten chocolate tort was outstanding.
