    We were there an hour before they took our order and then then it took an hour to get the food.   they were terribly understaffed.

    This place is giving Frank Sinatra dinner vibes! Live music with the talented piano playing lounge singer, elegant hacienda style aesthetic, dinner tables in front of a moody fireplace. Plus first class service and excellent food!

    We recently celebrated a 21st birthday at Morgan's of the Desert, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the staff, and the General Manager, Ray, was incredibly friendly and made sure to acknowledge the special occasion, which added a personal touch to our celebration. The service throughout the evening was absolutely very attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The appetizers and food were nothing short of amazing, with each dish being beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. We finished the meal with dessert, which was the perfect sweet ending to our evening. All in all, we had a wonderfully lovely time at Morgan’s of the Desert and will definitely be returning for future celebrations! Highly recommend this restaurant for both the excellent food and top-notch service.
