"Met up with old friends for dinner and drinks and we could not have picked a nicer restaurant. Morgan's has an idyllic upscale laid back historic-desert-mission themed aesthetic, which reminds us of why we love living here so much. The bar lounge was so relaxed and full of luxe glam with its oversized furniture and outdoor adjacent vibe. Our friends enjoyed martinis and we ordered a cosmo-inspired mocktail and it was divine! It brought back memories of visiting Cairo and drinking beautiful red hibiscus spritzers. We enjoyed the pre-fixed menu including a watermelon salad to die for, flatiron steak cooked to perfection and a light and airy fruit desert with merengue and heavy cream. The service was exceptional - I can't praise them highly enough! The price point averaged out to about $100 per person with tip, which is less that I would expect for a restaurant of this caliber. I have no pictures to share because we all made sure to never look at our phones and we didn't want to break the magical spell by pulling them out. We look forward to our next fabulous experience at Morgan's!"

"My husband and I sat at the bar for dinner and was one one of the best experiences we have had dinning out. Brian was not only working but overseeing every aspect of the bar and the resturant it seemed like. I really admired his attention to detail and trusted his recommendations. Everything we drank and ate was great and suprising in the best ways. We will remember this place. Thank Brian and staff for the amazing hospitality."

"I unfortunately did not get a chance to eat here on this visit, but I love going into the bar area and sit there while having a wonderful drink listening to the piano player. What a great atmosphere, what a gorgeous property this is! The food is by far one of the best places to eat in town!"

"One-of-a-kind atmosphere thanks to the Spanish colonial / California desert meets Moroccan influence as well as most of the staff (HUGE thanks to Magdalena and the Bartender!) My favorite wine selection is their Joseph Drouhin Chorey-Les-Beaune Pinot Noir accompanying short rib followed by Varlona chocolate brûlée🍷🍽️ However, be prepared to pay $8 for a small basket of bread!"

"Not new to the desert but our new find! Chef Rene and Sous Chef Tony create delicious meals consistently. Fresh and homemade food is hard to come by but this place has nailed it perfectly. We love the bar atmosphere and the entire staff are very welcoming and remembered us our second time around which made us feel special. The seating and atmosphere are just what we have been searching for and we loved the Saturday evening music. We can’t wait to have our next date night in our favorite spot the next time we are in town. Thanks folks!"
