Neighborhood gem
Great for outdoor dining

The Morris is a new restaurant and bar in a truly unique location. It’s connected to a boutique, 17 room colonial hotel and courtyard located right next to Washington Square Park. We have a scratch kitchen that only uses the freshest ingredients available by season. Our bar program consists of delicious hand-crafted cocktails, organic wines, selection of local beers, and spirit-free beverages. Whether it's for a casual night out, business dinner, or date night, we are so excited to serve you in our newly renovate dining room or in the garden courtyard*!

*We want to inform our guests that the courtyard is fully tented and heated throughout the winter!

Brunch before theater. The outside garden seating was a pleasant surprise on this cold November day, with a heated enclosure. The food and service was great as well. I had the chef special, grilled Morris steak, breakfast potatoes, 2 eggs, herb bearnaise - it did not disappoint and was plenty filling. My friend had the shrimp and grits which she also enjoyed. I recommend this dining establishment.

Our first time at the Morris and we were extremely impressed. From the location to the ambience to the excellent service we received from John and the rest of the service team and of course the food. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. Looking forward to returning again for another wonderful meal, keep up the great work team!

Went for brunch. There were a couple of large groups in the garden with loud music. Inside, service was terribly inattentive. Seemed like the focus was outside. Food was good though.
