    This was a fabulous dining experience. We sat outside next to a roaring fire, which set a lovely mood for a romantic dinner. Our server Brandy was spectacular — so knowledgeable about the menu, and attentive without being hovering. She even apologized for a smudge on a wine glass, and said, "I'll stop bothering you now" when she was being simply delightful. The food was exquisite, topped only by the lovely finish to the night as we met the head chef and his sous. You will not regret one second of dining here!

    This restaurant always provides fine dining in the desert each time we visit La Quinta. Last time we were here was on Christmas with a prix fix menu. This time was after the holiday with a regular menu. The food and service are always outstanding - from drinks and starters, through entrees, sides and desserts. It has always been a great dining experience.

    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.

    Absolutely amazing experience! Our server, believe was Marilyn or started with an A? Was absolutely fantastic, truly providing superior recommendations for all of us. Thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas Eve experience.

    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.
