The Morris is a lovely establishment to have dinner at and I love the dark romantic ambiance. Upon entering, my husband and I were greeted and sat promptly. The wait staff here are friendly and consistently checked on how we were enjoying our meal and pouring our water. Outstanding service! Chicken nuggets with caviar ranch- the chicken was well seasoned and the ranch was good but I could not justify the price for two measly skewers. The ranch had just a speckle of caviar. Half duck- the duck was tender and I enjoyed the flavors that were smoked into the duck. The jus that we used as dipping sauce were lightly sweet and umami. The skin was perfectly crisp and added great texture in every bite. Olive oil cake- the cake was a bit dry and I couldn't put my finger on what tasted somewhat fermented. My least favorite part of the meal. Overall, great spot and would love to try their other menu items. read more

Overall A: exceptional Michelin-starred, flavorful, warm, attentive. Weekday supper of charcuterie platter: duck liver mousse, duck rillette, spicy headcheese, Pâté de campagne, rabbit terrine, jagerwurst, pepperoni, chorizo, salami, prosciutto, and whiskey cocktails. Good pricing, though stingy on the carb accompaniment. read more

I had an ok experience at the Morris. The service was overall great! Very attentive and knowledgeable, but two of us arrived earlier than one of our friends. We wanted to get something light while we waited but they told we had to order everything at the same time. Wasnt mad about it.... I just wanted some carbs. The food was interesting. The duck was great. I loved the sauce on the truffle gnocchi... but i swear i didn't see the gnocchi or tasted it in my mouth. Our party definitely debated whether we were just uncultured or if there really wasn't any gnocchi. The salad and chicken nuggets were good. read more

Came into The Morris and went straight for the duck -- no regrets. Super clean plate overall. The duck was the standout: rich, perfectly cooked, not greasy, just solid flavor all the way through. Paired it with some bread, charcuterie, pickled veggies on the side -- everything felt balanced, nothing overdone. You can tell they know what they're doing here. Simple, but executed right. Easy 5 stars. read more

6% surcharge. 5.0/5: The Chartreuse slushy is great, and it's $5 at happy hour. They make it to order in a Vitamix blender. But it could use 1/8 teaspoon of Xanthan gum to keep the ice and chartreuse from separating. - 4.6/5: The buckwheat donuts with whiskey anglaise $15 are addictive. Nice buckwheat flavor. Sauce is great. Soft but fluffy. - 3.0/5: Chartreuse ice cream $5. Not enough chartreuse flavor. Tastes like they add too much vanilla to tone down the bitter. Also too sweet. Not as good as the David Lebovitz recipe. But I appreciate that it's cheap: at $5, I still recommend trying it. - They have a good selection of vintage Chartreuse bottles. You can sample a 1912 Green Chartreuse for $800/pour. read more

Promptly seated, and offered sparking water on the house. Had an Ultima Palabra and a Last word (when in Rome). Both were lovely. We later had a cava, which was delicious. To start, we had the chicken nuggets and mushroom profiteroles, which were flavorful but smaller portion sizes. Our favorite items of the night: - Little Gem Salad: 5/5. Super delicious, with the perfect ratio of hazelnut, bacon, and dressing. The bacon was shockingly thick cut, and caramelized to perfection. - Cucumber/Avocado/Pistachio Salad: 4.7/5. Refreshing and fresh. A larger portion for this type of salad. Extremely satisfying. - Grilled Pork, with Kimchi beans and cabbage: 4.7/5. The meat was seasoned to perfection. I would come back just for this dish. Lastly, we went a little crazy with dessert: Chocolate pudding: 4.6/5. Everything you'd expect in a well-made pudding. Buckwheat donuts: 4.3/5. Although the portion and flavor was perfect, strong on the whiskey flavor! Olive Oil Cake: 4.5/5. The chartreuse gave this a bit of flair. I have been profusely recommending this place to my peers and will certainly return. Our server, Claire, made us feel welcomed from the start. The industrial yet warm vibe of the restaurant is the perfect balance between romantic and hip read more

We ate at The Morris for dinner on Tuesday. The chicken nuggets were... alarmingly small. The two tiny corndog looking things were the entire $14 dish. While delicious, they had us worried we didn't order enough food. They do an extremely tasty and simple charcuterie plate. I enjoyed our selections and the portions were large for two. I would have liked to have more people to try more things but what we had (pate, brillat savarin cheese and the chicken liver mousse) were delicious. The little gem salad was tasty but... I hate to say this because I normally don't have enough dressing... but there was too much dressing. I think it just needed to be slightly more tossed... The half duck platter was delightful - great veggies, great duck au jus, and the meat was tender and flavorful. I really enjoyed this and it would translate well to a large format dinner. Dessert was buckwheat donuts which were delicious although softer than I was expecting. I would definitely go back. (But likely would skip the fries, Brussels sprouts and the chicken nuggets - first off, we over ordered and second the fries were only ok, the Brussels sprouts were good but the main had lots of veggies, and the chicken nuggets were tasty but ttiiiinnyyy.) read more

We were a party of 4 for a business dinner. We had for appetizers the mackerel, chicken nuggets, & mushroom profiteroles. We had 2 avocado cucumber salads. Our mains were a half smoked duck with root vegetables, gnocchi, & a lamb dish. Each person had wine or mixed drinks. The food was excellent, full stop. Terms like artisan & rustic come to mind. Great quality of ingredients, not over complex sauces, you knew what you were eating. Every dish was memorable. Great ambiance & service. The appetizers were very small. The mains were noticeably undersized. If not for this, I'd give it a 5. As I say about many places, I'm not asking for super-size...but you will have to pay a lot to not feel somewhat hungry. That simply shouldn't be the case at such price points. I'll be back with my wife for a splurge. It is that good. Believe me, it is that good, leaving a positive impression. I'll order extra to be...satiated. read more

The Morris offers outdoor dining that's perfect if you want to bring your dog. They provide blankets and heat lamps to keep you warm on those chilly San Francisco nights. Parking isn't too bad--there's plenty of street parking, though it can get a little scarce later in the evening, especially on weekends. Service was excellent. Even though I made a last-minute reservation for an outdoor table, the staff kindly offered me a spot inside. I'm grateful. Our server was incredibly attentive and never made us feel rushed. One unique touch: their house wine is charged by how much you drink, which is great if you just want a little. They're also thoughtful about portions and won't let you over-order, perfect if your eyes tend to be bigger than your stomach. The food was outstanding. The chocolate pudding is a must-try, and you can even get a half order of the donuts if you want to order two desserts. The charred broccoli with squid is delicious--truly a feast of flavors. And, of course, don't miss their famous smoked duck and charcuterie board. read more

All in all I think The Morris is a fine experience and worth the buzz. I'm not sure it's a hall of famer but it's a very nice spot with good service and good food, so there's not a lot not to like. I had been a very long time ago (over 10 years ago) and I remember thinking it was good but not great. Last week I was reading an article on Chartreuse, which I love, and was startled to see this place called out as one of the great spots for it in the country. Who knew? I of course immediately booked a reservation. I had the famed Chartreuse slushy and I did like it a lot. The shaved ice dilutes the flavor of the Chartreuse but there's enough of it in every sip to make it a very pleasurable libation. A buddy and I shared a Little Gems salad (loaded with very tasty bacon lardon chunks that were not too salty or fatty), chicken nuggets, I think Crudites, the famous half duck and some fries. Everything tasted pretty good. I did love the plethora of fresh, tasty grilled vegetables that appear throughout the menu. My only criticisms. would be the chicken nuggets were two tiny bits on skewers, each the size of a large almond. They were tasty but for a small biteful I did not see the value in it at all and wouldn't order it again. The duck was pretty good. Most duck is fatty and this was too, not much can be done about that. It was definitely smoked and cooked beautifully and the best part was the breast in the middle. I wish the entire entree could have been that but then of course it would have been 5 times the price. Service was on point and professional. Drinks were pretty good. This is somewhere between 4 and 5 stars but I'm going with 5 because my criticisms are outweighed by the quality of everything else. read more

We stopped for drinks and snacks last Friday but ended up staying much longer than initially planned, because it was all just so good! I'll start off with saying it is pricey, but if worth it if you can go. Personally I had the Pom Queen which is N/A by default but they will add a spirit to it if asked, and it was super refreshing and light. My second drink was something with coconut / pineapple, like a much more adult pina colada but again, total knockout. The wines are also good and they have an impressive selection. The snacks and desserts, of which we thought we would only get one or two things, are also amazing. Delicious fries, good selection of cheeses, knockout pudding / salty cookie and the doughnuts. The cherry on top was they are dog-friendly outside, have plenty of heaters, and the service was top-notch!! read more

10 out of 10! So glad I found this place during a recent visit to SFO. Ambience was lively yet ambient enough to enjoy dinner Conversation. menu is on the smaller side, but many delicious options. Wonderful service. We started with the mushroom appetizer, duck hearts and salad. All were unique and perfectly seasoned. Bartender made my boyfriend a tequila cocktail, and I tried a glass of Syrah from Sonoma. for the mains, my boyfriend had halibut with white beans and greens. Very rustic and delicious. I enjoyed the pork dish with beer sausage. Served with a wonderful mustard sauce and potatoes. We also tried the roasted brussels sprouts which were perfectly cooked. We both agreed this is one of our favorite dinners anywhere. Can't wait to come back again. read more

I've always enjoyed my visits to The Morris. Prices are a bit higher than I'd expect/want especially but alas this might just be the reality of San Francisco (notably, between 2024 and 2025 I noticed a 10% or more increase in a lot of menu items). Service is always great and even when I've ordered stuff I didn't like as much, I still had a positive overall experience. Lots of charcuterie, some cheese, caviar, and "nibbles" which are relatively small little starters. The charcuterie is good although definitely not my favorite option in the city. You can order 1, 5 , or everything on the menu. I do wish they had an option for 3 things as there's usually more than 1 I want to try and 5 is way too much. The chicken nuggets and caviar ranch sound great but I honestly found both to be pretty underwhelming. I was surprised that I liked the grilled duck hearts much more as this is normally not even something I would order but did on recommendation of the server. I've been here a few times but realized I had always stuck more to the meat items and smaller courses and charcuterie. I actually think the first course and main course are definitely worth trying after a recent visit. They do vegetables quite well (basically choosing high quality and ripe ingredients and generally letting them shine and not doing too much) and the dishes sound thoughtfully composed. I really enjoyed the hangar steak with chimichurri, early girl tomatoes, and a tiny bit of blue cheese. I don't even like chimichurri normally but I loved this one - it wasn't overly parsely forward. Same thing with the blue cheese - they added it with a lot of restraint (and it's a milder blue cheese) so even as someone generally not a fan, I liked the slight creaminess and tang it gave the dish. The steak was perfectly cooked and I thought hangar steak was an excellent cut for their menu. You get a pretty good portion and ordered with some other dishes, this could definitely be shared. Don't sleep on their fries either. They are much better than they look (I thought they were going to be kind of undercooked but they weren't). The garlic aioli is awesome. You also get quite a few fries so I'd suggest ordering and sharing with whatever else you are having. One thing that I'll note is their seasoning walks the line of too salty. While generally this is what makes the food taste good, some bites may be a bit overseasoned. On the other hand, most of the vegetables I've had did not have too much salt and were a good contrast and provided balance to the meat and fries which were too salty at times. Chocolate puddin dessert with a salty cookie is amazing if you enjoy intense choocolate and desserts with some salt (only the cookie is salty and not the pudding so you can avoid the salt if you want too). I'm not sure why it's $15 but it is very very good. read more

Great date night spot in the Mission. A quaint but bustling beautiful ambiance. We had the New York steak, little gem salad, pork belly, and fries. Great meal. Morris '75 was an excellent cocktail which I highly recommend trying. Service is prompt and delightful. read more

We came here after work for a team dinner. From the outside, this spot is extremely deceptive and unassuming as it looks like a very old and outdated Amercian cafe/diner. Upon entering however, the establishment is actually quite spacious and modern. A pre fixe option was selected for the table ahead of time and while the food was overall enjoyable, some of the combinations did not make a ton of sense. Service however was where the whole experience really shined. We left the tab open throughout the whole evening to the point where we over-stayed our reservation time. Instead of kicking us out, they graciously allowed our entire group to move to one of the outdoor tables and continued to serve us there. Although I eventually left before the night ended, I heard the rest of the group stayed until closing time and they had no choice but to call it a night. Never once did the waitstaff or establishment complain that we were staying too long. Nor ever seemed displeased that they had to continue to service our table despite the slow-down in drink orders as the night progressed. read more

Long time patriot, first time reviewer. I love The Morris. Paul has great sidewalk parties. Gavin is the best and Chevis always comes over to say hello. Booked this place for a late bday din with some girlfriends. Never disappointed in any of the staples or the rotating feast of goodies. The new try: Chicken Nuggets with caviar ranch. So tasty!! The duck NEVER disappoints. And I love that they have Rize Up sourdough. I started buying Azikiwee's during lockdown and he always warms this bread lovers soul. Other notes: get the chartreuse slushie. Always a hit! read more

I went here earlier in the month for an intimate celebratory dinner. The service was splendid but the duck skin was rather chewy. I understand that duck is their specialty but the skin was very hard to get through even if I had sawn through it and chewed it a ton. Perhaps this is just my personal preference. The Melville wine was good but the white wine we had (the name is escaping me, i think it was the sur la nez?) was realllly nice. These wines were recommended by the waiter/sommelier based on what we had ordered so those wines paired nicely. read more

The Morris' is an intimate dining experience without feeling cramped and allowing for easy movement. The washroom is unique, but a bit of a gimmick. While most dishes offer fair value, the small bites section (dubbed "nibbles") falls short, with portions that feel precious for their price point. Chicken Nuggets: The menu's inclusion of chicken nuggets amused me, and I just had to try them. The nuggets deliver an unexpected sophistication. The coating wasn't crispy, but deliciously light and airy. The meat was made of juicy chicken thigh instead of a homogeneous meat mixture. Unfortunately, I found the caviar ranch too rich, and added an unwanted fishiness. I would have been more satisfied without the ranch. Mushroom Profiteroles: The profiterole itself was not that great, far too dense for my liking. The mushroom filling was great though! Extremely robust and meaty, punctuated by assertive black pepper that added a welcome warmth to each bite. Charcuterie: The highlight of the night for me. Based off the portion sizes of our previous dishes, I expected this to be a small sampling of each item. Imagine my surprise when we were served a gargantuan platter of meats! The selection demonstrated both breadth and depth: pâté offered rich complexity, salamis delivered varying degrees of spice, and mortadella was silky-smooth. Each component spoke to a different flavor profile and texture. Charred Broccoli and Squid: This vegetable dish was rejuvenating after the heaps of meat and fat. The dish's bright acidity acted as a palate cleanser and cut through the richness of the preceeding plates. This acidic backbone was reinforced by a satisfying heat. Fries: Pretty mediocre fries to be honest. The aioli was addictively good. Bavette Steak: A pretty disappointing steak. I prefer a steak with a well-developed crust, and this one was flaccid. The red wine sauce was fine, but nothing to write home about. Grilled Pork: I found this a bit lacking. It was also super fatty, and the meat had some toughness I did not appreciate. Smoked Duck: This was probably the dish I was most looking forward to, and my expectations were not met. The duck was competently smoked and cooked to appropriate doneness, but lacked the succulence I expected. However, the accompaniments were exceptional. I loved all the vegetables, and I especially loved the honey-espresso jus! Buckwheat Donuts: Magnificent. The use of buckwheat flour elevates these pastries, imparting a subtle nuttiness and robust texture. The donuts are well-spiced, and pair beautifully with the provided dip. An absolutely wonderful dessert. read more

Went here last night for dinner. Overall food was delicious and service was impeccable! My friend and I split the chicken nuggets...they were okay. The halibut tartare was delicious. We then split the cod dish was just as yummy. I got their slushy cocktail which was very refreshing. Atmosphere was nice. I would recommend for sure. There is plenty of street parking in the area as well. read more

One of my absolute favorite restaurants in SF, and the special poulet frites lunch was amazing and reminded me why I love them so much. Always wowed by the food. Consistently great. Best to order a number of dishes to share so you can try more things (or go to a poulet frites lunch and try the house-made charcuterie, salads, desserts...). The wine wows as well. And the chartreuse slushy! Sitting outside is always a delight. This place is special, and it's clear how much care and thought goes into every dish, wine and detail. The Morris is a gift to San Francisco! read more

I haven't felt this conflicted about a restaurant in a long while. I've been wanting to cross this place off my SF list, and I confess that I had high hopes. The thing is, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't unforgettable either. The service was fantastic! Everyone was genuinely kind--our server was so polite. Now, the food... I felt like something was missing, though I couldn't quite put my finger on it. We could definitely taste the amount of labor behind every dish, but not a single one truly stood out. At this price point, it's definitely a special-occasion place (for my budget, anyway). For the amount we paid, I expected an unforgettable meal, and it just wasn't quite there. Would I return? I don't think so, simply because there are too many other places in San Francisco to discover. read more

The Morris - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

The Morris is an upscale restaurant in the Mission that got quite busy on Saturday night. Only outdoor reservations were available but the patio is covered and heated. Their charcuterie menu can be ordered individually for $15 dollars, 5 items for $50, or all options for $75. Me and my friend ordered two individual portions of Mortadella and Duck Prosciutto along with their sourdough bread and butter. The sourdough was perfect - spongy on the inside and a thin dense caramelized rustic crust. The mortadella was a bit heavy on salt but once I sampled it with some pickled vegetables, it cancelled out the salt and left the flavor of the meat and pimento. The duck prosciutto took longer to hit the taste buds. Fat and salt followed by a subtle duck flavor. I also ordered a Chartreuse Slush, which had a nice sublime citrus and floral flavor. As it melted, a puddle formed around the glass. For our entrees, we ordered and shared the Heirloom Tomato Salad with pickled Chanterelles along with the Little Gem Salad. The tomatoes were plump and tangy. It had an interesting caprese-like taste minus the mozzarella. It was definitely a good amount of food. As we were wrapping up the meal, we ordered the Buckwheat Donuts and I got myself a cappuccino to keep myself up at the Rival Consoles show at Gray Area. I immediately picked up hints of cumin and cinnamon in the donuts, an interesting combination to say the least. I really enjoyed the vibe of the relaxed outdoor patio. I would definitely come back to try more dishes including the duck. read more

Finally, a place who knows how to salt food. The seasoning was on point in every dish. The food was so fresh, comforting & unique. How can they do all that and have amazing service? Well they do. Portions here are exactly right but limited entree items. The uniform service & open kitchen gave this place a vibe of being a well established institution. I did however, wish we ordered a protein otherwise this may have been a perfect meal. Will absolutely try again and recommend! 4.8/5 FOOD 4.5/5 SERVICE 5/5 AMBIANCE read more

It had been a while since we got together, so decided to indulge and order whatever we wanted. I had heard great things about the duck, so that was my pick. It was tender and delicious. And that au jus was so flavorful. The charcuterie was plentiful and we had a good amount of variety. The only thing I didn't really care for was the steak since it was covered in bearnaise. But the temp on it was nice. Drinks wise, I'd skip the cocktails since they were just okay. We were happy with our two bottles of wine tho. We really weren't familiar with the wine list offerings so they said they'd send over the sommelier. For some reason, he wasn't showing up, so the server sent over three of their Chicken nuggets . caviar ranch. That ranch was delish! The sommelier eventually showed up and we made our selections. Fun spot to have a nice somewhat elaborate meal. Their portions are rather big, so better if you go in a bigger group. Otherwise, your bill will add up quickly. REVIEW #3423 read more

This review is specifically for "poulet frites" lunch event on August 10th. This event is well organized, and service is attentive and warm. We enjoy it very much! For $75 per person, you first have access to the unlimited charcuterie, salads and seafood items. Then when you are ready, they bring out the star of the show -- the roast chicken and fries with mushroom madeira jus on the side for dipping. Again, it's as much as you want! Yes, please! LOL. That's not it! Dessert is also included! I really enjoy the thick chocolate mousse with a bit bitterness (the best way to have it!). Then you add a few slices of freshly cut strawberries and whipped cream on top for a perfect ending! Drinks are extra. I didn't really like the rose my friend had, and after listening to my preference, the server brought something I really liked! Nice! The vibe of the restaurant is laid back, friendly with a level of sofistication (so it's not too stuffy). I'm looking forward to joining their other events. read more

The monty charcuterie board was out of this world, such distinctive tastes and the pate was not liver-tasting at all. The mushrooms profiterole was to die for. The half duck was insane, smokey. The sauce was elevated with this sweetness like five spices. Fries were addicting and sauce had a little kick to it. The mini buckwheat doughnuts were next level and fresh, and once again stellar sauce to compliment. Their sauces just elevated the dishes. The bathroom is clean and even has a video projected of being on a drive in the nature. The ambience of space is contemporary, clean and uplifting. I have been here before many years ago but this time the experience was even more amazing. read more

Holy Amazeballs what night!

In San Fran for a work conference and the final night, one of our colleagues took us to The Morris. Not knowing much about the place, I had to check it out and to my surprise, it was excellent! First of all, we traveled about 10-15 minutes from the Union Square area and I will say, this part of SF might not be the best but that could also be because I don't know the area well. The restaurant is very trendy and quaint and as soon as you walk in, you smell what they are known for - smoked duck! The place is a little small and therefore it gets loud (plus we were next to a large birthday party group that had a lot to drink!) Two things you should know before going to The Morris: (1) the smoked duck is a must (and I'm not a fan of duck, even growing up as a duck hunter), and (2) Chartreuse - apparently, the owner of The Morris has one of the largest Chartreuse collections, much like wine, and the Chartreuse slushy is a must try! On a hot summer day, this would be a great refreshing drink - either way, everyone in our party ordered one to try and we all enjoyed it, even on this rainy, colder night. As for the food, we started with the full monty, which is a loaded charcuterie board with lots of unique meats - you must have a open mind and palette to try some of these things like duck liver mousse, spicy headcheese, rabbit terrine, duck rillette, and Pâté de campagne, to name a few. It was a unique experience and everything was very good and also tasty! For the remainder of our meal, we ordered several things including some nibbles like the Brussels sprout (excellent), beet salad, and charred broccoli with squid chili lime, as well as the crab porridge. Of course, we had to order the smoked duck, which is served with root vegetables. Like I said earlier, growing up, I didn't like duck because of the gamey taste but this was unbelievable - the smokiness and crisp skin really made this dish. Admittedly, it's probably not the most healthy dish and I can't imagine eating this weekly but it was special and I understand why people go to The Morris for this dish! All that said, we didn't leave any room for dessert (after several glasses of wine), although the buckwheat donuts really seemed like the go to sweet treat. I was really impressed with the food, quality of detail, flavors and the service was excellent - definitely check out The Morris next time you are in SF, you won't be disappointed! read more

Came here for Father's Day! We made reservations so we were seated immediately. The indoor seating is nice and intimate. We were served immediately and our waitress was very attentive to our needs and questions. There is also outdoor seating which was very cute too! We tried a few dishes, but the main standouts for me were the duck and rabbit terrine. These were such unique dishes that I haven't tried anywhere else. The rabbit terrine was salty, yet tasty. There was a blend of pistachios in the meat which added a nice crunch to the texture. The dish came with crispy bread pieces and spread to eat with the rabbit. We also shared the whole duck between 5 people which was a good size for the party size. The duck had a nice smoky flavor, which is different and unique compared to the more traditional sweet roasted duck flavor. I thought this was very unique, and I've never tried anything else like it. This restaurant offers unique dishes and is good for a special occasion. While the food is pricey - this restaurant is definitely worth a try for the unique food and flavors it offers! read more

We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday and had a very pleasant meal. We started off with the pate de campagne which was a mixture of meats blended together wrapped in bacon. Very savory but not overly salted, it was easy to cut off a piece. They provide some parmesan crisps on the side to pair with it, but the ingredient that really brought it all together was the dijon mustard that came with it. The mustard really made the flavors of the pate pop. We also had some Rize Up sourdough bread with cultured butter which was insanely good. The bread was very dense yet fluffy and the butter was so creamy and delicious. We then had some parmesan brussel sprouts that were brought out, which were nicely crispy and a good blend of savory and sweet with the balsamic vinaigrette glaze that the veggies were cooked in. The star of the meal was the half smoked duck which came with an assortment of veggies. The duck was tender and had a good flavor to it and while the dish itself isn't too big, it fills you up quickly due to the high fat content of the meat. We paired our meal with a bottle of the Clos Somi Syrah Blend which had just a hint of sweetness and paired especially well with the duck. We then finished our meal with the buckwheat donuts which comes with a whiskey liqueor custard dipping sauce which was delicious. The staff was great throughout the meal - very attentive and quick to clean our table, pour our waters/wine, and bring out fresh cutlery. read more

Excellent food and service. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the truffle gnocchi and the crab porridge were especially good.

Even the bathroom was cozy and was playing an old movie with a projector onto wall. HIGHLY recommend! read more

I come to The Morris for one thing. The smoked duck. Always delicious. The perfect amount of smokiness and juiciness. We always like the duck liver mousse and the donuts too. We tried the chicken nuggets as well and it was overpriced for two little bites. The broccolini was a bit on the salty side too. But I can overlook those misses for the duck and donuts. read more

Not super packed in like some other places where you feel like you are sitting on your neighbor's lap! The charcuterie plate was a highlight. The duck which everyone raves about good too. To be fair, couple items heavy on the salt, especially the avocado & shrimp over toast. Donuts to finish is the way to go! read more

Dining at The Morris hits all the high notes that one hopes for when trying a new restaurant and it keeps you coming back for more. The service is warm and attentive. The courses were perfectly paced. And the menu is focused and incredibly creative, it showcases a unique perspective and isn't repeating the latest food trends that everyone else is. Big kudos to the kitchen for exceptional execution on these dishes. Finally after trying so many restaurants "with great reviews" that delivered a lack luster experience- The Morris actually exceeds! read more

From beginning to end...whoa! I came in near the end of night after a lovely event at KQED. The rotisserie caught my eye and the biggest birds I have yet to see greeted me with the most inviting smell. The staff were most acomidating and they shared all the menu detals as well as the thought behind each. It is clear that they are all well versed not only in the menu, but just in the best bits of hospitality. You could tell that they have been doing this for a while, the expertise and attention to detail were evident. Thanks to their advice I ordered: -The charred broccoli & squid -buckwheat donuts w. anglaise If you read no further, know this: ORDER THE DONUTS! My goodness. What a dream! I think that was my favorite bit of the whole visit. I did make a note to come back for the famous duck. Sidenote: the restroom is a trip. Visit that before you go. read more
