                      Review summary

                      AI-generated from verified diner reviews
                      San Morello offers a "wonderful dining experience" with "amazing food" and "outstanding service." The ambiance is reminiscent of a New York Bistro, and the brunch menu is particularly praised. While the menu may be limited, the creative dishes satisfy taste buds. However, seafood lovers will especially appreciate the selection.

                        Fantastic as always. Even a pulled fire alarm couldn’t put a damper on it.

                        Had to leave because they were serving the brunch menu and I didn’t realize lunch menu wouldn’t be available. The menu wasn’t accommodating for food sensitivities.
