Food was excellent in taste and presentation-- waterfront view. Good service. Padded seating indoors. No reservations. Got there at 5 on a Saturday. The place filled up fast after then.

We decided to spin over to the "other side" of the new home town for something a little more sophisticated. Morso was already buzzing when we arrived at 6:00. That said, we were seated promptly (it was a Monday night) and our server arrived quickly. We took his recommendation and ordered the meatballs for an appetizer. The menu is seasonal, so your mileage may vary. We followed with the special gnocchi and the Morso burger (another recommendation). While we waited for food we looked around. It's a cute place that I didn't expect from the outside. The patio is huge (Euro sized) with lots of great seating overlooking the harbor. We enjoyed the European atmosphere of the restaurant and the very friendly service. The meatballs lived up to the recommendation. They were very flavorful with a good seasoning. Apparently they use the meatballs in a sandwich at lunch. The seasonal gnocchi was fantastic! Great flavors! The Morso burger was another good recommendation. The burger party itself is very flavorful (seasoned, not plain) and the toppings are great accompaniments. We thought we were done until we saw the dessert menu... Next up: a strawberry& rhubarb oatmeal crisp ( I rhubarb) and the Meyer lemon cheesecake. We loved Morso and highly recommend a visit.

Me and my friend came here for happy hour, it's a wonderful little spot that looks out at the water. It's really clean and cute and the menu can accommodate most people. I've been here several times. I really enjoy the view, and the service is terrific. Me and my friend got my favorite- the meatballs (excellent), bread with herb butter (yum), a cup of the seafood chowder, which was good -nothing spectacular; and the flatbread, which was pretty good. We each had a beer or two and enjoyed the ambience and the view of the water on a nice sunny day. I think it would be a nice touch to have some instrumental music or something going on at happy hour. It was just kind of quiet even though the tables did fill up. It's a very popular place and it's delicious. I also wish there was just another item or two available for the happy hour menu or if they changed it up sometimes. I definitely will be back. It's one of my favorite little spots for happy hour. Reasonable happy hour prices.

My husband, friends, and I came here for dinner. We were able to be seated on a Monday night without any reservations. There's 2 rooms for seating. Our server Heidi was the best and sweetest! For drinks, they split a bottle of cabernet and I got the lavender lemon cocktail which is under mocktails but she suggested adding vodka in it and it was SO good. For appetizers, we did the baguette, salmon cakes, and clams. The herb/olive oil was unreal and the salmon cakes were delicious! I don't like clams but my husband and friends devoured them so super good. For our entrees, 3 of us got the steak frites and 1 for the gnocchi pasta. The steak frites were to die for and they'll be coming off the menu soon so highly recommend to get it before it's all gone!! Would definitely come back here!

Morso is and has always been a go to place to meet up with girl friends for book club, life catch up, and any and all celebrations. The atmosphere and staff are wonderful, I've never once had a bad experience. Inside or out you can't beat dinning here

Michael G.

Excellent all around. We shared the pasta main dish with locally sourced mushrooms and the Olive, baguette, and goat cheese apps. The red blend wine selection was super delicious. It was so good I got a bottle to go. Excellently served by Lexie. PS, her husband is the Chef! Great environment. They also have a wine store to select from. The pricing was robust. Big fans. Can't wait to come back for HH which runs from 2-5.

We went to Morso for Lunch. Service was really good despite being Father's Day and somewhat busy. The staff were attentive and the view from the balcony overlooking the Harbor is amazing! Would recommend!

Morso is a beautiful wine bar overlooking Gig Harbor. I had a little trouble finding the entrance, but once inside the open dining room, surrounded by big windows overlooking the harbor, I found it very inviting. I opted for a seat at the bar; but longed to be outside on the patio. But it was chilly and didn't look like it was open, so I didn't bother to ask. But it had the best view of Mt. Rainer for sure. Service was welcoming and had the right amount of attentiveness to let me enjoy the view and food in peace all the while ensuring I was happy and felt taken care of. Since I was just getting a quick lunch I opted to try the seafood chowder and the Herb & Ricotta Meatballs along with the seasonal Autumn Sangria. The sangria reminded me of mulled wine, but on the lighter side and severed over ice. It was sweet with hints of spice. I really enjoyed the chowder though I didn't find much shrimp or salmon in it, but lots of clam. The flavor was fantastic and having the grilled bread to dip in it almost reminded me of a grilled cheese and tomato soup combo. The Herb + Ricotta Meatballs were very hot when they came out so I had to let them cool a while. The tomato basil sauce was on the sweet side to me, but I know some like that. The meatballs were OK, but I'd probably try something else next go around. Overall a pleasant experience. And next time I will ask to sit outside, even if I'm all alone ;)

First time in Gig Harbor. Nice restaurant with a great view. We sat outside. My husband and I shared a hamburger that was ok. My sister had clams & French bread, she enjoyed them. My nephew had the clam chowder and enjoyed it. The service was ok, waitress forgot our appetizer so we cancelled it.

Taylor C.

We visit Gig Harbor often and have dined at many restaurants with good ratings on Yelp and Tripadvisor. For various reasons, we never tried Morso until this summer. What the restaurant had to offer very much pleased us. We selected mainly seafood dishes, including Salmon Cakes, Manila Clams, and Halibut. Each of the dishes was cooked perfectly, both tender and flavorful. We wish we had known this restaurant sooner.

A quaint little place with excellent service and food. Came for lunch on a Saturday. Our server was friendly and attentive. The flat bread was delicious and the aperol spritz even better! But the real star was the flourless chocolate cake. Possibly the best chocolate cake I've ever had- the Carmel and sea salt complimented it properly and it just melted in your mouth. I'll literally get another piece to go next time- do not sleep on the cake! read more

Met friends at Morse for dinner recently. My friend had a cocktail that appeared to be all mixer, then my wife had to send hers back - it had almost no vodka in it. My wife NEVER sends things back, so that tells you something.... Food was really good, but at $15/cocktail it was a bit of a disappointment. Will never order anything other than beer and wine there, as their bar tender could not manage to mix a reasonable cocktail for the not insignificant price. read more

Last time I went to Morso I got the steak frites which is supposed to be prepared medium rare and the meal came out well done I had it remade and the meal came out well again. Went back last night to give Morso another chance. I was offered a table next to the door and let the server know we would wait for another spot. The server found us a different table in the restaurant and then nobody came over to take our order for 10-15 minutes. Ordered steak frites and the meal came out cold . Had the steak frites remade and my meal came out well done . Re- ordered same meal again . Will not be going back. Very disappointed in the whole experience. read more

Very good food, great views and little to no mark up on wines. We have been in here a few times for drinks and were very impressed with their selection of wines. So naturally, we came back for dinner. We started with the deviled eggs appetizers, which were some of my favorites. Our entrees consists of braised short ribs and a French dish, which I can't remember the name of find it on the online menu. Regardless, they were both very good, we ended you swapping half way though our meals because we wanted to try each other's. A very nice and large selection of some great wines and like I mentioned before with very little markup. Plus they offer different nights where they have Tasting of different bottles and regions. Overall a great place to enjoy here in Gig Harbor, just make our reservations early. The word is out. read more

This trip wasn't about food but wine. The interior atmosphere was dead empty and the day outside it was easy to see why. They have a stunning patio with a beautiful view of the Harbor. It's also nice to see that the patio is spacious and they have the large patio heaters for cooler days. We were greeted immediately upon entering, which I appreciate greatly. Today was awesome in the sense they had $5 glasses. They had many bottles that they were closing out and in doing so it gave people the chance to try many different wines. Today we close out their Rose wines. Multiple French wines and two German. Our waiter Nathan was a little spitfire and we had a great experience with him. I'll have to come back again for more great wine variety because honestly, their list is extensive. It's pretty impressive. The food I saw come out looked tasty, so I'll be happy to give that a try. Everyone there was happy with their service and left with a smile. Two thumbs up. read more

Been here a few times, the wine is great and the servers I've had have always been wonderful. Unfortunately, I haven't been impressed with the owner's attitude toward customers. The hours posted everywhere online show they are open until 10pm on Thursday. While I was enjoying glasses of wine with a friend, we were brought our bill by our waiter shortly past 9pm. He was very friendly and said we were not in a hurry but the owner wanted him to close out his paperwork. Then a little bit later, the owner came out and bluntly said "ladies, we're closing." It was 9:30pm. If they want to close earlier, why not update your hours? It was such an awkward experience. I should add that they happily sold us a 2nd glass of wine shortly before dropping our bill by and hustling us out. That's the last time I'll bother spending money there when Anthony's is just across the street and always welcoming. read more

If visiting Gig Harbor, step away from the main drag, go up just a few blocks, park in Cuvee's lot (or across the street in the giant lot) and find yourself in a wee living room with good company & tasty wines.

The two tables next to us were occupied almost immediately, and then the house was packed, making the room really warm. I actually wished we had sat outside instead.

I liked how they pre-tossed the salad for you so that each piece of lettuce was dressed. We also ordered the18inch Adam's Wild Mushroom pizza with the gluten free crust. Gluten free people- great news!! Their gluten free crust was soooooo good. I honestly had to ask my fiance if he thought it was actually gluten free. It was thin and chewy, which is hard to find in a GF world. I enjoyed the white sauce on the pizza, as well as the mushrooms. I couldn't taste the spice in the spicy evoo, and I thought the pizza needed a little extra saltiness to round out the flavors, so I asked for some parmesan which they brought out freshly grated. Overall, I would come back again to try another of their GF pizzas. Do they have a HH special? That would be awesome.

Location = A, Atmosphere = A, Dinner Menu = A, Food Taste = A, Price = B, Service = B, Wine = A, Parking = B I sought out a unique, tasteful, semi-casual and romantic but not stuffy place for our anniversary dinner and made an online reservation at Morso for a Sunday evening, 7pm dinner. It's called Morso Wine Bar, but after reading the menu, reviews and seeing some photos, I choose it. Yes, it's a wine bar, lots of wine, long wine list, wine bottles and crates decor but I think 'wine bar' is too limiting. Mostly two and four chair tables. One long pub-height table, limited bar seating. Some beers on tap and lots of wine. The Menu isn't huge, but sufficient to offer a choice for most anyone with starters, flat breads, salads and entree's. Mid-level pricing and the food was very good on our visit! We arrived early and sat at the pub table, enjoyed some wine before moving to a two-seat window table. There is a patio immediately outside which will have a great view during daylight and good weather. When we arrived there were actually a lot of people and the waiter told us it'd be at least 25 minutes before we could place any food order, they were short-staffed and unexpectedly busy. No problem for us. We love the bottle of white wine, so much we were looking it up online. We can order it for $16, much better than the $36/bottle there, but guess what....we ordered a second bottle with dinner anyway! We started with the 'warm brie w brown sugar, pecans and port reduction with toasted baguette slices and we loved it! She had the 'polenta lasagna' and it was good. I had the 'pan fried crab cakes' and also like the whole meal. Finished with the 'creme brulee cheesecake', fluffy and good. The decor is mostly dark with white ice-sickle lights around the ceiling edge, cute. Hardwood tables and chairs, some tables with table clothes, some without. Some minor artwork on the walls. Restrooms clean and well decorated. Off hours parking no problem, though you either park above or below Morso so you have to use stairs either way. I imagine during lunch, good weather and summers that parking will be more challenged. read more

I give it 3 stars due to the great location and it being the only wine bar in Gig Harbor. Unfortunately I would give the service 1-2 stars because of the gal who must be the manager. Her staff seems to know what good customer service means more than she does. She acts as if it is an inconvenience to have customers there. She seemed more concerned by whatever it was she was doing on her laptop at the bar. The last two times we've been in her pours have been extremely short. I've been to enough wine bars and drank enough wine to know what an average pour is. Our last visit we ordered a glass of wine and some food. Five minutes after receiving our food she brought us our bill. It was 3:00 in the afternoon so it wasn't as if it was closing time. I thought maybe it was the end of her shift and she wanted to get tipped out but after we paid she continued to sit at the bar. During a couple of visits we had one of the younger girls helping us. One of the gals provided such great service that I asked to talk to the owner to let him know how great she was. I give credit where credit is due. I'm far less likely to sit and enjoy a few glasses of wine when the service isn't great so needless to say my money spent there relies on who the server is. read more

If the concept of a "wine bar" makes you feel fancy, if you don't know or care about quality, and if you believe spending a lot of money is a requisite part of the a high-brow experience you'll love Morso. If good food and good wine also needs to be part of the equation, you're shit out of luck. The wine selection here is no great shakes. Nothing wrong with it, but don't expect unicorns and rainbows to pop out of the glass. You won't be discovering a new favorite. The food is flat out garbage. The whole package is expensive to a fault. The second star is for the view. For the same money, I can go to JWs and have great food and higher quality/higher value wine. And if I want to overpay for vile vittles + a view, I've got the Tides, which sucks a bit harder, but costs a lot less. I've been there twice and can't really imagine returning. read more

I had a great evening at Morso yesterday. I tied so many items on the menu I forgot to stop until I had eaten way too much. What a relaxing evening, beautiful presentations, great staff recommendations for my wines and an unbelievable view. We've needed this type of spot for a long time. I enjoyed the interplay between the menu offerings and wines. When I heard the bartender making wine cocktails, it felt relaxing and very different. Nothing pretentious and I didn't get skewered on the cost either. Great wines for under $7 and nothing over $15 on the menu! My absolute favorites were the lamb and chacuterie plates. The shaved proscutto with that little sparkling wine (I forgot the name) got me wanting more. The lamb was also just perfect withr my syrah and the malbec. Excellent, eclectic and fun. I'll be back for more. read more

Morso is fantastic. Great presentations along with a fun staff. I had the lamb meatballs and the crostini sampler with some sherry. With the weather today I couldn't think of anything better. The view is incredible! The food was so good I'd come back just for that. I am so happy to have this as my new go to place. I don't have to get in my car and go to Seattle or Portland. So I didn't pay for gas and I also didn't spend a fortune. I got out for about $50 with a couple glasses and my dinner. My server was great and the owner led me through some of the wine selections. Very friendly and not snobby at all. read more

Visited Morso again this past Saturday for lunch...wow, I really like the new menu. I had lunch here quite a while ago and thought the menu was limited but we really liked the new sandwich options. I think they could use more salad options other than Caesar and beets, but loved the Caribbean chicken wrap and the brie sandwich with apples. Good food and server was friendly and helpful. Stephanie gave a tasty French Rose wine recommendation and also suggested the Sangria, which we loved too. Patio is perfect for a leisurely lunch. read more

I have eaten at Morso over ten times by now. I am amazed at the changes each time I'm there, whether it is the food, wine or events, No moss under their feet, just a very engaging place where I can always find something interesting. I recently had the prawn pasta and a glass of french sauvignon blanc...fabulous. This is the most interesting place I've been in Gig Harbor Tacoma area for a very long time! read more
