Excellent service, especially in helping my celiac friend choose gluten free options. Restaurant is nice inside which makes you forget about the sub-par location. The pizza and salad I had were delicious. Great value for the lunch special. read more

Morris East - a menu and a bottle of alcohol - Canadian (New) Near Me - Bedford, Nova Scotia

Good and service is excellent. A little pricy for what you get compared to other restaurants we have been. Always clean. A little noisy. Been there few times as it is a very convenient location. read more

We are tourists and were fortunate to eat at this wonderful restaurant. We had several delicious appetizers, two different pizzas and a shrimp/pasta dish. My daughter raved that it was the best pasta dish she had ever had. The pizzas were a generous size and had a beautiful thin crust. Our server, Karan, was a delight to deal with. He offered knowledgeable menu suggestions and served ours meals in a timely fashion. His pleasant demeanor made for some comical banter. I'm only sorry that we don't have one of these restaurants near us in Ontario. read more

Always great. Love the spicy shrimp pasta dish. Everything I've had there has been excellent.

I ordered the cannelloni was quite surprised when it arrived. One piece for 21.00? That was it. One. Mind you it was a decent size but just one? I wasn't full after eating it, no bread was provided with it. I would definitely not order that again. read more

I have to review this amazing restaurant again, I've upped my review to 5 stars from 4. We've been here numerous times now and the last time was the best yet. The spicy prawn chorizo pasta was INCREDIBLE, and i mean incredible. I'm hard to please with pasta dishes too, pasta snob my husband calls me :). G man had the special (which is always a safe bet) and it too was absolutely delicious, they made brussel sprouts taste good!!.. although the "return" later left a little to be desired, Not their fault...cabbagey things will do that. Their house made chili oil can be eaten on just about anything and I was tempted to lift a bottle (JK) I wouldn't do that to these folks! The service is equally top notch too, the servers and bartenders are funny, accommodating, joke around with you yet professional, I can't say enough good things about this place. I would recommend getting reservations on typically busy nights in HRM. We didn't have one last time but were sat at the bar and it was totally fine, the bartender made the night, he entertained us with multi-tasking whizardry and conversation...he's the guy that tries to sell you tequila shots (for a laugh). He's one of the best servers I've seen, left him a huge tip, he deserved it! This and a few other spots in Hali are our favorite restaurants in the city. Try it out, order literally ANYTHING you won't disappointed and its just a fun night out. Can't wait to go back! PS you don't have to try to find parking downtown, another plus for this location read more

Our meal at Morris east was delicious! I am never disappointed by their yummy pizza and perfect desserts. We sat on the patio and it was very comfortable. A great way to spend a sunny evening. Our server Cody was extremely attentive, charismatic and eager to build a strong rapport with our table. I would, however, like to underscore the importance of restaurant staff using gender neutral language when referring to their guests! Multiple times throughout our meal, reference was made to the assumed gender of myself and friends (assumptions that were wrong). This was an uncomfortable experience, and one that could have been easily avoided. Using gender neutral language (such as "good evening folks, everyone or all) is an essential aspect of the service experience as it helps ensure all guests feel welcome and safe. Using genderless greetings is a super easy habit to implement from a serving perspective, and goes an extremely long way. Hope this feedback helps, thanks for a great tasting meal! read more

The food was amazing at this place! I like that the menu isn't too big so it doesn't make making a decision very hard. The pizza was fantastic and so was the local beer I had. We really enjoyed the service too. We'll be back! :) read more

We had an unfortunate experience at Morris East tonight. Usually the service and food is good, but there were some problems this evening. The wait staff seemed confused about where to seat us and it took the hostess a great deal of time to figure out where to seat our party of 3. The restaurant was busy but not full. My sister and friend enjoyed their meals as they typically do. I ordered the chicken main dish and it was awful. The chicken was rubbery and I couldn't cut it with the bread knife that was supplied. I was disappointed, but chocked it up to it being an unusually busy night at the restaurant. We ordered coffees after our meal and paid our bills as soon as they arrived. After paying, we sat for about 5 minutes finishing our coffees, at which time we were approached by three servers who told us that they wanted to move us from our table. Given that we had already paid, we said we would leave, but it was clear that they were embarrassed and kept insisting to move us to another table. I've never experienced such a bizarre and awkward situation in a restaurant. Needless to say we left feeling confused and I was disappointed in my meal. Hope things go back to the way they were. This place is usually quite enjoyable, but tonight it really underwhelmed. read more

Three of us dined here early June '17. It's a nice space, if you like open ceilings and fan trunkings, with lots of glass giving views onto the various condo's and parking lots that surround the area. We had a different pizza each, all of which were most satisfying and just the right size. Service was OK, verging on the perfunctory and the bill not too onerous. I've had the occasional lunch here too, and the light bites are pretty good. read more

5 star food, service, atmosphere and experience. We'll be back! The great service started at 8:30am when we received a confirmation of our reservations email within five minutes after sending the request. An hour later, we received a follow up phone call. Wow! I picked the restaurant based on a recommendation from a regular customer and so I am glad I made that mental note - we all had a wonderful time. We bought several starters and I tried a bit of food from almost all plates and we bought 4 desserts to share... Here's what I tried tonight (check out their menu for actual dish names): Cheesy flat bread, mozza balls, duo dips, salmon, gnocchi, pizza, kettle chips, chocolate flourless torte, salted caramel tart, peanut butter sponge tart, and smore dessert. AMAZING - all of it :). We were warmly greeted by the hostess, our waiter was fantastic and the owner was also checking in on our table, sat and talked with our parents, recommended dessert and helped clear off our table. Oh by the way, he was the one who replied to my early-morning email. On our way out, the hostess held the door, thanked us for coming in and so yes, we'll definitely be back. The place is spacious, clean and bright. Lots to look at - art, wine bottles, other decor, the outside, the fire from the pizza oven. I should've taken pics but was too busy eating and talking. You'll just have to go in and try this place out for yourself. read more

Service and atmosphere are great. Darla is wonderful. Pizza is really great. It woukd be nice to have the option for more sizes as I really enjoyed the pear pizza I had... I believe that we all had a great time as we were here on a Sunday for my mum and nephews birthdays... The place is full and it's 730 pm as I write this review. Come hungry.... Leave happy read more

Morris East - Open kitchen. Always a treat to see that - Canadian (New) Near Me - Bedford, Nova Scotia

I've been here a couple times now and I really enjoy it. I like the casual, simple, clean decor and all the light that the windows let in. The margherita pizza is super yummy, though the ceasar salad was a little more understated than I would have liked. The desserts are made in house (Peanut butter fudge ice cream thing, homemade s'more and salted caramel tarte). I wouldn't say they are big enough for sharing, so order accordingly. Service is always pleasant and prices are reasonable. Evenings can get busy and noisy, so you may want to make a reservation (this location takes them, the downtown one doesn't) or get there early! read more

Came here during lunch with a couple co-workers. The first thing I noticed is how much glass is in here - I know it's a weird observation, but when you come in for lunch and the sun is beaming in, it's really nice. Sat down and ordered my pizza (Capricciosa) and waited....and waited....and waited. The place wasn't even that busy. No idea why it took so long, but maybe there was a hold up in the kitchen. Either way, got my pizza and it was just okay. I will say this though about 'gourmet' pizza places like ME, Piatto, Salvatores', etc. I get it, you're a 'gourmet' pizza place. Even though I get much smaller pizzas for the same price as an X-large at Alexandra's, Pizzatown or any other chain - what I expect though is gourmet flavour, ingredients and service. This pizza and service was none of those. I know you're reading and saying 'well why are you giving it a 3 then?' - well it's because I've been to ME many times. This location and the downtown one. At $22 for a one person pizza, it just rubs me the wrong way when it's not amazing. End of my old man rant. The next review will be much more upbeat to make up for this. Ha! read more

My boyfriend took me here for dinner on Valentine's Day as we hadn't been to this location yet. We were seated near the entrance by a partial wall and the location of the table made me feel like I was a greeter as my chair was in the entrance beyond the wall. It being a chilly, windy evening, made for a varying temperature in that area as well. The lighting, layout and decor of the restaurant was great though the red plastic chairs kind of gave it a cafeteria feel. Our server Alana was wonderful and we did speak to a few others also working that night as well. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We were ordering from the prix fixe Valentine's menu. As a starter, my boyfriend had the lobster salad which he is still raving about how delicious it was... two days later! I had the savoury tart which, other than a few tiny crumbles of goat cheese, it was mainly onions in a phyllo pastry. For our entrées, my boyfriend ordered the three mongers pizza which he really enjoyed - great flavours and very filling. I ordered the baconator pizza and was impressed! It is definitely the pick for the bacon lovers out there as Alana put it. We both had half of our pizzas to take home (the leftover pizzas were just as great reheated as they were fresh). Dessert choices were the apple turnover with cinnamon ice cream and the chocolate hazelnut torte and they were both great! The apple turnover was probably the favourite between the two with the cinnamon ice cream being an awesome pairing. Great location - I would come back again! read more

Love this place. Awesome service and staffs are very friendly and funny! Food is awesome! Love the Simon and their pasta! Pizza is extraordinary! And it's cheaper comparing to other similar Italian restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

Morris East - Canadian (New) Near Me - Bedford, Nova Scotia

A group of three of us were in after the lunch hours today. We had two Cuban sandwiches with caesar salads and a beet salad with chicken. My wife said the beet salad was just ok and she would not order it again. And our sandwiches both had soggy sides of the toast on one side. The flavor was good but we didn't enjoy because of this issue. The chips were fine and the Caesar salad was good. The service was great and a very clean restaurant. read more

Morris East - Cuban sandwich with Caesar salad - Canadian (New) Near Me - Bedford, Nova Scotia

I have lived in Bedford for 7 years now ... and always looking for a good place to eat without having to drive Downtown Halifax. Figured I would give Morris East a try for pizza, I will be perfectly honest, terrible, tasteless sauce, thought I would order extra cheese to be safe, because a lot of places are light on the cheese .... well they're safe, even if you're lactose intolerant, you can eat there pizza with cheese .... I can't imagine their regular amount (and no I don't like it smothered, but a good somewhat amount would have been nice), I've seen and had better pizza from Costco's freezer section .... If your standards aren't high, you;re in the right spot,, but if you're looking for an amazing pizza, go elsewhere ... But ... and a big but, the staff is very courteous and friendly, too bad they miss the boat on the pizza. read more

Late lunch option during the week. Opted for the daily pasta special and Fire Ale on tap. Good service, good atmosphere and plate presentation. I had nothing bad to say about the plate. Cost was a little more than I'd want to pay for lunch, but for a supper option, this probably is one of the better choices along Larry Uteck. Noticed take out menu, will have to try the pizza. read more

Got the lunch special, 9" pizza and Caesar salad for $15. Salad was good but not your typical Caesar dressing. If you like lemon and vinegar you'll be happy. I got the chicken pesto pizza with it. It was amazing! It was a great portion of food and made with fabulous fresh ingredients. Will definitely be back and am already recommending this place to friends. read more

Morris East - Canadian (New) Near Me - Bedford, Nova Scotia

Well bedford. This is my staple. My go to. Even if you aren't in the food for pizza, they usually have a fish and chicken dish. And even if you don't think you want pizza you might second guess yourself when you hear how good all of these pies are. Everything! All the ingredients! Locally inspired and delish! Plus, they have some other menu items that are amazing. Dips, salads, BEST chowder I have ever had, fish, meats. It's all consistently good, every time!! The atmosphere is wonderful and cozy, the staff are always attentive and friendly. And the cocktails are divine! This is a real treat, always and always. read more

Pros- great pizza, Adam is an awesome bartender, clean bathrooms/tables, relaxing atmosphere usually, the manager is so sweet/talkative and she's very caring to your needs, most of the females servers are friendly and interact with you and the children.... Cons- small menu and not many options if you're allergic to seafoods, nuts etc., some of the waiters don't really interact with guests well or acknowledge kids very well, not many salad or vegetable options.... Sometimes the staff will interact with children when they're making their pizzas but, other times they don't say a word to them. There is a little bit of inconsistency there. I understand all staff have different personalities but, as guests who kids that get excited to see the pizza being made it is disappointing when they don't even say hi to the kiddies perched up on the stools waiting to see the dough flip in the air! Maybe some of the staff spoiled us a few times we were there and no we are always expecting that service. read more

Huge fan - their pizza/menu is excellent, the service is also bang-on (some of the girls really pay attention) and its extremely family friendly. 5 star for sure! read more

I had high hopes walking into this place with my usual food buddies. First, their food was nice. Menu was appealing, and quality was satisfying. Yet I kept comparing this place to piatto on hollis st. and was disappointed. Price was fair, and atmosphere was likable. My issues were with the service. There was something ingenuine about the attitude of servers and hostesses. I believe that no matter how nice the menu and interior design are, the finishing touch of service should never be effortless. read more

My boyfriend and I have been driving by this place for awhile, every time it's packed and the restaurant looks beautiful! So we dropped in one evening. First thing that caught my eye were the nachos... but they only serve them on certain nights... odd. Second, very small menu. I was also craving a pizza. So we order one and spilt on together. I believe it was a meat lovers style. It was pretty good but very basic for $15+ on one pizza. Especially if I can order pizza from a local pizza joint! Personally I found it pricey and not a lot of options. read more

Nice staff except the waiter who actually waited on our table. Very impatient grey cloud. Food was average and overpriced for the quantity received but the beer was good local selection and very cold! read more

Location: good location easy access with plenty of parking. No local wifi which sucked. Price: was a tad bit on the high end but not that bad. 38$ for two meals and two drinks. Food: I had the Morris breakfast which was overall good the eggs were buttery the potato were a little on the under cooked side if your looking for crispy that's not it. My girlfriend had the seasonal skillet which this season consisted of red pepper, onions meatballs and egg mixed into a skillet. I personally thought it tasted like her sweaty armpits that I'd been smelling for the last 2 days and I don't mind smelling armpits but I don't like eating them. Overall not bad service was quick and efficient, decent little place. read more

Absolutely love this restaurant as it can offer delicious options that cater to my dietary needs. The atmosphere is always friendly and it is one of my favourite spots for both a professional meeting over a meal and dinner with a friend! The staff is always friendly and courteous and the location means that I will always have a parking space. read more

Morris East Bedford!! A welcome addition to my neighbourhood! The decor is quite modern and very fresh. Quite liked it actually. We visited for an early supper so it was still daylight, however the staff had mentioned the dim lit dining room is quite nice in the evening. We were greeted with friendly staff and seated right away. Asked if we'd like a booth.Perfect! Water was delivered quickly with the menu. In regards to the menu.... Its shown on a simple piece of paper. I'd have expected something a little more classy for this location. There is not a Huge selection either. I think about 3 or 4 appi's? 6 or 7 pizza varieties? I had asked our server about a wine they offered as I wasn't familiar with the type. She was honest and advised us it was her first shift & she'd have to go ask someone else. No problem! She ret'd was a tasting of the wine in question. Nice! I ordered the Hawaiian Pizza. Grilled pineapple, rosemary bacon, delicious cheese... I felt it was missing the ham, but it was delicious!! I ate the entire serving. The dessert menu looked delicious but I was trying to save room for popcorn at the movies to follow! Next time for sure. We ordered 2 pizza's(1 pizza each) and only 1 glass of wine(10.00) and the bill came to $52.00. I find that quite pricey for what we had. I mean my husband didn't even get a drink?? One pizza was $19? And the other $17? Maybe? For personal pizza's its a but steep. However-- we thoroughly enjoyed our food and visit and will certainly return. read more

I love this place. Staff is great. The chef comes out to discuss the menu. The cocktails are delicious and the pizza is great. They have a three piece jazz band one night a week and the playlist is full of good time favourites. Fun spot for a drink at the wine bar which has a great selection. Good date spot also. read more

Dined here many times. Simple, modern, minimalist atmosphere with maybe seven or eight booths and a dozen tables (with basic red chairs for a hint of color). Various nice artwork of Halifax spots. Large open view of the pizza oven & kitchen. Bright natural light during the day. Cozy at night (my preference). Their pizzas are thin crust, their specialty. The margherita (Tomato, mozzarella & fresh basil.) is very good. The mushroom (Portobello, button & oyster mushrooms, garlic, provolone, parmesan, microgreens.) is delicious/my personal favorite. The Roasted Vegetable (oven roasted veggies, goat cheese, reduced balsamic, fresh basil.) is another tasty one. The enchilada pizza is very good (black bean tomato sauce, pico de gallo, sriracha sour cream, onion, roasted red peppers, applewood cheddar). My partner loves the Hawaiian (Oulton's smoked bacon, caramelized pineapple, sun dried tomato sauce, mozzarella.) - He gave it a 5/5, claiming it to be the BEST PIZZA in HALIFAX!! Although once he had it for maybe the 5th time and said it wasn't up to its usual standard (I thought it looked a bit dry, and that's exactly what he said, just that once). He also quite enjoys the Lumberjack (Smoked bacon, maple brushed sausage, caramelized onions, smoked applewood, fried rosemary, maple syrup drizzle), as well as the BBQ chicken. The "duo of dips" appetizer -very fresh and warm sliced pita. The dips change often; the ones I had were a spinach artichoke roasted red pepper (pretty good) and a mushroom smoked cheddar (not bad). Both served cold with adequate quantity but didn't blow me away. The second time I tried the 'duo' (a chick pea option), which I figured would be hummus-like, but wasn't great/very smoky tasting. A black bean cilantro dip was not bad, a bit runnier and edible, but not something I'd get again either. So after having the dips twice, I wouldn't get it again. The Kale & Arugula salad ($9 spiced pepitas, radish, local apple, mustard vinaigrette, parmesan) was quite decent. A good size for the small (large is $12) and just the right amount of dressing that I like, enough for flavor, but not heavy. My partner really enjoyed the 'Burger of the Week' Burger. Unfortunately, I don't have a written menu description to copy, but do remember it was unique in a Hawaiian way? Ham, pineapple, lettuce? with side of potato wedges. The Vinaigrette Caesar salad ($9 small. $12 large. Oulton's bacon, sourdough croutons, lemon confit, parmesan cheese, vinaigrette dressing) is good. Obviously Caesars are creamy generally, so this one is like a healthier version, but then so a bit boring in my opinion. Of course I leave the bacon off as I don't eat meat, and that would cause it to lose some flavor. The Artisanal Cheesy Flatbread ($10 Topped with lemon oil, tarragon & smoked cheddar, parmesan, fresh mozzarella cheese, served with marinara dip) is good, like a softer, fresher version of most cheese fingers. The kettle chips look and taste exactly as they should. The Pea Salad ($10 Spring peas, local mint, fire roasted baby potatoes served with arugula and pea shoots dressed in a creamy pommery mustard dressing) isn't bad, very fresh crunchy peas. The Fried Risotto Balls ($10 Housemade Arancini served on a bed of tomato sauce with roasted fennel, red onion, peppers, fire roasted tomatoes and a medly of marinated olives) are very good. Their Gnocchi (16. Pan fried Gnocchi in sundried tomato pesto, seasonal mushrooms, spinach and feta cheese) was very flavorful and just the right portion size. The Apple Crisp cocktail ($10. Muddled local apple,vodka,fresh lemon,cinnamon syrup, local ginger beer) was to die for and tasted exactly like apple crisp in liquid form. We are SAD to hear that this was discontinued at our visit in April 2015! The strawberry Manhattan is good enough, with one large strawberry atop the martini glass. The watermelon lemonade cocktail is great. Desserts: The peanut butter tart: to DIE for. (an Oreo-like crust, chocolate drizzle, homemade peanut butter whipped like body with whole peanuts on top, and honey sponge) Not too sweet. The salted caramel tart may be even better, which is the scary thing. I am normally not a caramel lover because I find it too sweet, but this isn't. It's a short-bread-tasting soft tart filled with liquid caramel but doesn't get too messy when you eat it either. Topped with a dollop of whipped cream & a strawberry. The S'mores cheesecake is cute in presentation and tasty. Consistently friendly, attentive service. Early on weekdays, it's usually pretty quiet around suppertime, so there's not a big social atmosphere to give it anything that exciting. However, on weekends it gets busier and is better, if that's your thing. :) read more

See all

Meh. I was expecting the pizza to be amazing. It was not. The flourless chocolate torte was good though.

We have been a few times, and thoroughly enjoyed everything we have ordered. The menu isn't huge, but each pizza is quite different from the others, and so there should be something for pretty much everyone. The wine list is quite good. I really like the bottle of chilled water that has been left on the table each time. We have found the service to be very good. I really like the art work in the dining room, and my kids enjoy being able to see into the kitchen as their pizza is being made. We have no dietary issues, but the option to have gluten free is nice. It is not a cheap meal, but the prices are printed right on the menu, so there really shouldn't be any surprise at the final bill. read more

Had a wonderful birthday dinner here recently. Service was fantastic and the server we had for our party of 8 was great, an entertainer and super witty. There was a nice Jazz band playing and the kids were thrilled to watch them play their instruments and sing. The food was delicious as always. The charcuterie board is a must, the red pepper jelly is the best. I'll continue to recommend Morris East to my friends and family! read more

Really like the pizza here The atmosphere is nice, wait staff are friendly and the food is very good It's closer to where we live than going all the way downtown for some classy pizza. We go back often. Nice to have gluten-free crusts available. read more

I am putting 3 stars for the lack of generosity, although the dish I ordered was tasty. We were a large group (10 people) who gathered on an evening. My notes: - All dishes and appetizers looked delicious and well presented. - I ordered the "fresh catch", a 22$ dish made of scallops and rizotto. The dish was nice and good. However, 22$ for 4 scallops (medium size), while 90% of the dish was made of rice ? Come on... Big lack of generosity.... - We ordered a bottle of wine. When we wanted another one (same), we learned that it was their last one ... read more
