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.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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!!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Such a delightful experience! I ate indoors where the tables were nicely spaced out and debated on whether I wanted to face the chefs or the bar and I opted for the bar. At the bar, the handcrafter drinks were definitely on point! The food is phenomenal, I ate an entire charcuterie board to myself, broccoli that had so much umami going all around I couldn't pinpoint all the highlighted hues I normally could, and a pasta dish that has me hooked to come back for more. I appreciate all the details the Morris presents and can't wait to go back. read more
This is an excellent place for a special occasion. Came here to celebrate a birthday and was really impressed by the good food, excellent service and charming ambiance. Having had a relatively bad week, it was really nice to start the meal with a chartreuse slushy (very fun drink). The meal then proceeded as follows: (1). Uni toast (3/5) - whenever I see Uni toast, I immediately think of the signature dish at Saison. This dish, while tasty, is really small and doesn't measure up to the iconic dish. (2). Chicken dumpling (4/5) - tasty but small and meaty. I wish this was a little bigger. (3). Fried cracklins with honey and cayenne (5/5) - love this and can eat this all day long. The honey and cayenne really goes well with the pork cracklings. (4). Peach salad with arugula and burrata (5/5) - a perfect refreshing salad. (5). Beef brisket with corn and apricot (5/5) - love the char/smoke on the brisket and the veggies. This is the highlight of the meal. (6). Half smoked duck (4/5) - above average duck but I still like Chinese style better. Really good sauce though. (7). Chocolate pudding with salty cookie (4/5) - excellent dessert. A nice herbal tea was the best accompaniment for dessert. Service eventually turned out to be excellent but started slow. I really like the ambiance of this place (the bathroom has an old movie playing and nice background music) but the dining room tends to be very tight and packed. With tax and tip, this ended up being $130 per person. At this price, it is at the same level as restaurants with one Michelin star. It's competitive but not quite there. Highly recommended if you are in the neighborhood. read more
My sister took me and my hubby here for my birthday. I have never even driven by it. I did have it bookmarked and they apparently do have 12 special burgers a night (We did not get one) It is out in Protrero Hill (sorta near KQED). It is a pretty little space and there are all kinds of unique touches (especially the bathroom - I won't spoil the surprise). Our waiter was a cutie, and I sadly forget his name... I started with the frozen drink, which sorta tasted like pine needles (in a good way). For the table we got the Tartine bread and a foie gras dumpling per person. Then we decided to split a few things: The Duck for 2 and the Brisket and the Cod and the broccolini. it was all flighted perfectly...The duck skin was crackly perfection. I don't even really like fish all that much, but the cod was delicate and perfectly cooked. It was all delicious. For dessert we hummed and hawed about whether we should get one order or two orders of doughnuts. I am glad we got two! - served with a crème anglaise I would like to take a bath in. I did not see the bill, and glad I didn't! read more

First off... would I go back? Yes! The "house specialty" smoked duck was worth the trip alone. Started with the Mushroom profiteroles. Light & earthy, with a slightly spicy finish to the creamy curry-like filling. Moved on to the broccolini with squid. The squid was charred, with a briny finish. This too had a spicy kick to it, which caught us off guard, since it wasn't described that way on the menu. Fine with us, because we like spicy, but others may not welcome such heat. The duck got to the table next, and the anticipation was rewarded with an excellent half bird & a side of dipping sauce that complimented it perfectly. We thought about getting a whole duck, but it would have been entirely too much for the two of us. The accompanying roasted veggies rounded out the dish well. Ended the meal with chocolate pudding that came with a "salty cookie". Great finish to a very pleasant experience. read more

This is one of my favorite date night meals I've been out on in SF. The restaurant manages to create a unique atmosphere of fine dining while still feeling really local and relaxed. The outdoor dining set up is really nice, with the tables well spaced out and lots of heat lamps. Erik was our server, and we received fantastic service. He was knowledgeable about the menu and was able to help us select a wine too. The whole staff though was excellent. We shared a chartreuse slushie (which they split into two glasses for us) to start, and the 5-item charcuterie platter. All of their charcuterie is made in-house and you can't go wrong with whatever you get (our fav was the duck liver mousse). Next we shared the half-duck with a bottle of red wine. And we finished with the buckwheat donuts and the chocolate puddin'. Everything was delicious. I can see why this place is so loved by locals. We will be back! read more
I love this neighborhood gem. I've come for dinner and was excited to see they've opened for lunch - our dishes were a mix of the great and the not-so-great, but I'd come back and just make sure to order the right thing! Also, the staff are really nice every time I walk by with my dog. THE WAIT: None on a Tuesday at 12:30pm for 4 adults + 1 baby. THE SERVICE: Casual/friendly as always. For lunch, FYI, you order (and pay) at the bar at the back. There is table service once you order. THE FOOD: * Duck noodle soup ($16) - 3 stars Disappointing, and a regretful order. The noodles were limp, the broth bland. The duck itself was excellent but felt like a waste getting soggy in this soup. * Pulled pork sandwich ($14) - 3.5 stars This was fine, but honestly not too memorable. The pork isn't as fatty or "pulled" as what you might expect from, say, a BBQ joint. * The Morris Burger ($17, +$2 bacon, +$1.50 bleu cheese) - 4 stars Great - juicy patty. Potatoes were crispy, not too oily, fantastic! read more

Cozy date night place in our neighborhood! I've been eyeing this place for quite some time and finally booked a reservation on a Sunday evening. Ambience: I'm a sucker for string lights and well designed parklets! Makes for such a cozy romantic vibe. Service: COVID SAFE. Our waitress was attentive and always wore her face mask. The restaurant also encouraged us to wear our masks any time we weren't actively eating. Parking: Easy peasy after work hours. Plenty of street parking. We live close by so we took a stroll in the neighborhood. Food: Half smoked duck with root vegetables was flavorful and enough food for two (it took a while to get this dish but understandable as many others also ordered this dish), little gems salad was excellent, definitely try a few of the nibbles (duck hearts), and the garlic aioli fries were yummy! Overall, cute date night spot. We spent a total of $240 (a few cocktails and glasses of wine later...) read more

All presentation...disappointing flavor and texture. The smoke on the duck is creosote laden, the fries are the only redeeming part of the main course. Charcuterie is ok, but let be honest, salami isn't hard to do right when you buy it and slice it for 400% markup. The knives are an embarrassment to OPINEL, who make wonderful implements and deserve to have their tools showcased as cutting implements not as a full pry bar. read more
Before this was The Morris, this was an unaffiliated restaurant named Slow Club. I considered it the neighborhood gem not just because of its awesome food and drinks, but by the hip vibes and amazing staff. This restaurant embodies that spirit through and through. I went here by myself, or as one of the staff said "you're actually taking yourself out on a date." Throughout the night, many different characters came by my table to talk to me and make me feel welcome. I really can't get past the warm and inviting nature of the staff and the overall ambiance. I ordered the cucumbers with muhammara, and the duck hearts to start. The duck hearts were served hot (I don't know why so many other places miss this detail) with a delicious sauce. Yum. The cucumbers were crisp and chunky and cold and paired perfectly with the spicy muhammara--washed down with my Chartreuse Slushie. Yep. I went straight for the beef rib (smoked on hickory wood chips) which was gooey with marbeled fat and crispy smoked charred bits. It was served with grilled corn, sweet peppers and a chile poblano crème sauce (sort of like a creamy green salsa) that I dipped everything in. My only regret is not being able to finish it. Next time I'll come back and get the signature duck and the burrata side dish when I have someone to share with. The fact that I'm planning my next meal speaks volumes. Overall I'm blown away by the staff-- I'm not sure there's a warmer and more attentive staff anywhere else in the city. In the end my awesome server Jennifer recommended the buckwheat donuts for dessert. It was the last thing I'd pick, but may be one of the best desserts I've ever eaten--they were hot and chewy with a salty cinnamon sugar and a bourbon crème angliase. This place is the full package and was indeed the best date I've ever taken myself on. read more
Food: Came with a few people and shared pork rinds (5/5), mushroom profiterole (4/5), spicy Squid with broccoli (5/5), crab porridge (5/5), butternut squash agnolotti (5/5), half a duck (5/5), chocolate pudding (4/5), donuts (5/5). Drinks: we had two bottles of wine. The one recommended by the sommelier (jenn?) was so delicious and she was great and super helpful. I also was very happy when I saw that their dessert menu had a wide array of Madeiras (my favorite type of dessert wine). Ambiance is great. You walk in and see the open kitchen and the bathroom was also very cool - smelled great and they play music and projected a nice calming scenery onto the wall. Service: OK. our main waiter wasn't particularly friendly but the sommelier was great. read more
The Morris is one of those places you'll want to come again and again and again. I do recommend making reservations in advance, since even on a weekday, it was packed full house! In my group of three, we ordered: 1) uni toast ($12): TINY piece...not sure if worth the money and probably wouldn't order again, although it did taste fresh. 2) half smoked duck ($52): this isn't like your normal Asian duck (for those of you Asians who like the duck from Ranch 99), it's definitely Americanized but it's a must order. The meat is super tender and the vegetables that come with the duck are a perfect fit. 3) broccolini with squid: um, so good. Spicy too, must order this dish no matter what. 4) brisket: This comes as two pieces of brisket with lettuce as wrappers plus a couple pieces of Brussels sprouts and cucumber, the sauce for this was the winner. 5) buckwheat donuts with whiskey sauce: another MUST order to finish off your meal. Perfectly hot but sauce is cold. The cinnamon on the donuts mixes perfectly with the sauce. We also ordered the crab porridge (seasonal item) but the waiter didn't hear us so it never came. It was more than enough food tho, so I'll have to come back another time! Also make sure to check out their extensive drink menu. I really liked the open kitchen concept and service was top notch. Add this to your list of restaurants to try before 2017 ends! Then again, I'm sure this restaurant will still be around in 2018 as well. But it might be harder to get reservations after due to the popularity from deliciousness of its food ;) read more

One really unique aspect about this restaurant is their incorporation of chartreuse herbal liqueur on both the drink and food menus. My friends and I came here to celebrate my birthday and couldn't resist getting the chartreuse slushees after a hot day in Dolores Park! Drinks: The chartreuse slushees were very refreshing and tasted like frozen lemonade with an herbal kick. We also got the chartreuse on tap which was very intense and probably better as an after-dinner sipper than a drink with the meal. Food: We decided to share a few appetizers and mains. The duck was AMAZING!! Would definitely recommend! I also really enjoyed the ling cod in a bright orange sauce with peaches. Service: Man oh man is the service slow! I'm not sure if it's due to Covid or them being a fairly new restaurant, but we spent over 3 hours for the 6 of us to finish dinner. We had a reservation at 7:30pm, but our table wasn't ready when we arrived. We initially waited inside the restaurant before being ushered out the side door into the alleyway with the parklet where we ordered drinks. We were finally seated at 8pm but then had to wait an additional 30-40 min between the appetizers and main courses. They apologized for the long wait by providing free dessert for my birthday which placated some but not all of us. Overall, the food and drinks are worth the stop but be prepared for the very long wait times. read more

wow one of my new favorites! everything was sooooo delicious. the duck, broccoli and squid, cod and of course the donuts!!!! i will definitely be coming back. read more
So lucky to be brought here while in town. The restaurant sits in an industrial neighborhood easily missed to the visitors eye. Our dinner was pre-ordered in advance as we were running late. The staff was great in hosting us at a late hour. We met the chef, general manager Costa, cooks and other staff members on duty. Everyone was so welcoming. Chevis provided excellent service and selected great pairing cocktails and wines. First dish was the crab stew which reminded me of risotto infused with crab flavor. Buttery rich crab flavor hint of citrus. Second dish was the whole smoked duck with roasted vegetables. Crispy skin and juicy duck meat, I almost used my hands to get in there. The Chocolate Mousse is out of this world. It was the perfect way to end dinner. If you're looking for an intimate setting to enjoy great rich flavors ,knowledgeable sommelier to enhance every bite,... The Morris is a must stop.! read more

Huge shout out to The Morris for having my back when I needed a Saturday valentines weekend reservation! I really enjoyed the decor and the ambiance, open kitchen as soon as you walk in and the smell of that duck got me feeling yeeee. Fresh shrimp with kimchi aioli was sooo goood. Perfectly cooked shrimp and the aioli was perfect. Me and the gf thought the pork cacklings was ok....definitely could of passed on those. However I could see what the chef was imagining when he thought up that dish. Ling cod was perfectly cooked, buttery on the inside and crispy on the outside. Best thing about the duck? Everything... from the skin to the espresso jus that comes with it. However, I just wished they could of did the Chinese style cleaver cut on it, some of the pieces were really big. Wine list was extensive.... really wished I could of opened the $200 Bordeaux from France, but gf talked me into getting the domestic Zin... Service was excellent, could not stop raving about their hand soap tho.... made my hands smell hella good! Most definitely will come back soon. read more

My experience at The Morris was deeply underwhelming. I wanted to like it, but everything from food to service was mediocre. I brought my partner here to kick off her celebratory birthday weekend. Setting: The outdoor set up was wonderful. its very cute and cozy while remaining covid safe - love the twinkle lights! And grateful anytime there are heat lamps involved Food: We ordered the osetra caviar, little gems, and a tomato avocado and mozzarella dish. Tomatos were not flavorful probably because we are in the end of season, little gem was pleasant but nothing to write home about. The caviar was good, of course, the accoutrement was delicious and when we asked for plain creme fresh (the one provided has lemon zest) they gave us a big serving! However, the bread given was thick, dense, dry, and lacked flavor. Considering how thick and dense it was when eaten with the caviar we couldnt taste all the flavors. It felt as though we were forcing ourselves to power through - not something you want to feel when enjoying a $120 dish. We asked if they had a different side for the caviar, they quickly brought us chips which were a delight and we enjoyed. When the chips were brought out the server said 'we wont tell chef because he makes the bread himself' a bit odd I feel as though places would tell their chef that theres a bad batch of something so they can rectify it and not continue serving it, but youd rather preserve their feelings than give feedback? -1 star for food Service: After asking for a bread replacement all the waitstaff were short and rude to us, there was a clear shift. No one made small talk with us after and if we tried most didnt respond, which made for some awkward moments. I don't mind this as much but my partner felt like no one liked us and that really bummed her out considering we were there to celebrate. It seems The Morris prides itself on reputation and attention to detail, they fell flat and made it worse by being rude to us because we had a complaint about something... somewhere with such pride in what they offer should rectify and be courteous, every spot has bad batches or iffy days from time to time. Their attitude made a small mistake that could have been a blip in our experience something much bigger and honestly ruined the moment so much that we wont be back. -1 star for service This place seems to be big for duck, I didnt get it so can't speak to that, however if youd like to enjoy other things I feel there are much better spots in the area. read more

Great value for what you get! I definitely see this place getting popular and then prices going up! The bathroom is very unique.....it's got such nice detail and a little projector playing XXX (don't want to ruin the surprise so go check it out). Here is what we ordered: 1. Foie Gras Dumplings 2. Shrimp Toast 3. Charred Broccolis w/Grilled Squid 4. Grilled Berkshire Pork 5. Smoked Duck 6. Buckwheat Donuts 7. Chocolate Pudding Honestly, everything was good. I did not think I would like the charred broccolis, but I ended up really enjoying that dish. The pork was really moist and flavorful as well. My two complaints....1 - the duck was a little on the salty side and 2. the chocolate pudding was a little too decadent. My fave thing was the donuts!!!! I literally ordered a second order JUST for myself. I would definitely come back and part of me hopes this place does seasonal menus because I would be excited to see what else they come up with! read more

Incredible meal and cocktails. Love the addition of the parklets and heaters outside. If you get a chance, I also recommend checking out the open kitchen to see how their team expedites. My table watched them prepare the duck and it had everyone salivating. My part said they would all return for the duck. Super impressive! read more

Get the duck. Half is huge and comes with potatoes. Feeds four. Charcuterie and shaved asparagus. Delicious. Bread. Double the order and skip the protein diet because it's worth it. Fish was wonderful and so were the salads. I took a party of 4 to dine before the opening night of Hamilton. The two giddy teenage girls and their grandma were completely blown away by the evening that they chowed down their food a little too quickly, but still, they did love the dishes and told others afterwards. The Morris should get more attention than the reviews they received to-date. It's not that pricy for what they have to offer. I had been to Slow Club years ago and this was far different (yes lots of meat dishes). The open kitchen style was very inviting. The new American style food was better than most, and the price was quite decent. A bit surprised by the $$$ sign, as I'd rank it a $$ place but it could also be my own ignorance as I am not as sensitive to restaurant pricing than others at times. The layout of the restaurant was quite welcoming too. Needless to say I'm a fan. A super fan. And parking situation was a breeze. A perfect place to take your family out for a good meal. If your teenagers, or you, for that matter, start to miss France's charcuterie and cheeses, this will do the trick and tie you over until summer. read more
The Morris is a warm romantic neighborhood restaurant in the Mission. Just steps aware from other Mission classics like Trick Dog and Tartine Manufactory, The Morris is a great place for a date or a special occasion. The restaurant interior itself is warm, the lovely host will greet you at the door, and the ambiance is great for having a conversation over dinner. My favorite parts of the restaurant were the open kitchen (which is surprisingly small!) and the cool bathroom which is warm, candle lit, and has a projector playing a summer scene on loop. Our waiter was able to provide some good wine recommendations. We were intrigued by the house white wine, but it was a bit too buttery and sweet for us. We ended up with other whites that we enjoyed, such as Melon de Bourgogne. Profiterole shiitake mushroom and parmesan ($3): We started with these small bites of warm mushroom and parmesan. These were delicious and a great way to begin the meal Uni toast ($12): Soon after the profiteroles were uni toast, we ordered two. Similar to what you would expect if you rolled an uni hand roll, except with toast instead of nori. The brininess of the uni was not as prominent as in sushi, but the uni was much creamier. Definitely on the pricier side but excellent Little gems bacon hazelnut ($13): I love little gems and in my opinion you can't go wrong here. The hazelnut and bacon are great additions. Charred broccoli grilled squid and chili lime ($17): A spicy warm salad with grilled broccoli and squid. Even though we asked for less spicy, this was still decently spicy. It is dressed with a light soy sauce. I'm not a huge fan of warm liquidy dressings on salad, but still good. Beef brisket, corn, apricot, and poblano ($36): The brisket was excellently cooked, it was a lot more lean than I expected with a very generous portion. The grilled corn and apricot were tasty and the sauce went well with the brisket. I almost wish there was a bit more fat consistently throughout the beef. Hot fudge sundae cherry pecan brittle ($14): Usually I'm not a huge fan of sundaes since they typically have too much sauce and are too sweet, we asked for light on the sauce and it was a perfect amount. Great way to end the meal! At the end of the night we paid around 90 each for a drink each, dessert, and 4 plates. The warm ambiance, friendly staff, and good food made it well worth the price! read more

While the space is groovy and service is welcoming and courteous, my friend and I left highly disappointed with the food. We started with an uni brioche which had too fishy of a flavor. Before you say anything, yes uni can be fishy but the freshest kind has just a bit of the flavour of the sea and then a lot of creaminess. The citrus based sauce on the brioche helped balance it a bit. My friend took half a bite and then didn't eat the rest. The pork head charcuterie was tasty though it still retained a bit of gameness that the artisan could have cleaned up. The bread was great and mustard on point. The broccoli, one of the hot dishes, was way too salty for me. Too bad because this would have otherwise been a great dish. Not much fish in the dish. Finally the duck. Sad to say that it was chewy and a bit rough. We decided not to have dessert because we thought our experience up to that point didn't make us optimistic about the quality of dessert. read more
