Excellent! This is my fav restaurant in San Francisco recommended by friends. My husband and I went and everything was incredible. Amy was lovely and so was our waiter (I wish I asked her name!) They accommodated a seed oil allergy as well as no sugar. Felt so taken care of. Loved everything we had — steak, halibut, cabbage, duck liver, etc. Hats off to the chef. I hope one day they will brine the duck w honey so I can have it because it looks divine. If you come to San Francisco, The Morris is a must!

Blew me away. I cannot wrap my head around how good the duck is. The texture is and the flavors are unlike any preparation of duck I've ever had in any cuisine. The salad is perfect, the spiny lobster Crudo was so flavour packed and fresh, both being the perfect appetizers for the main event which was the duck. This is an absolute MUST. I usually don't order duck places because I'm always skeptical if people can cook it right but someone brought me here and recommended it and indeed, it was perfection. Then, as if it couldn't get any better the ice cream or some of the best ice cream I've had in my life. Sometimes when people do alcoholic ice creams it's too heavy on the alcohol and the texture is off or it's too hot in my throat, these guys really figured out how to extract the flavors of chartreuse without having the heat of it in your mouth. It was like heaven I'm never gonna stop thinking about it. The buttermilk ice cream is also excellent and I highly recommend just getting both scoops. I cannot wait to come back here. I can imagine this being a stop on every San Francisco trip i take, i seriously was swept away.

The vibe, food and service were all amazing. Their nibbles are delicious especially the chicken nuggets + caviar ranch. *Mind blown* The combination of the two flavors are so good. They have an extensive wine list! Next time, I'll need to try their cocktails. I love all the quirky and design details from denim coasters, receipt holders - and a projector in the bathrooms. I highly recommend this restaurant!

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!!

The Morris , let me try to capture all the good things that are going on here. So we gave this place a try on a Thursday evening and it's certainly surprising how busy this little place is. The place is rather narrow and the ceiling is rather low. Congratulations to the decorator for making the place feel inviting and warm. I love the open kitchen at the entrance, it gives you a good glance at the various dishes and your nostrils will be on high alert absorbing the various smells. The staff is super attentive friendly and has a fantastic memory as they remember which guest ordered which wine and brought the correct bottle for refill without having to ask. The food. we really enjoyed the appetizers. The pork cracklings were yummy and rather light great for sharing and best with a cocktail. For me the best dish was the brocolini with squid. The combo of the charred, the lime juice ...out of this world. For the main we tried 1/2 of the smoked duck. Now let me tell you it's good but.. it's so rich in smoked flavor that after a few bites I was completely with the flavors and we had a hard time finishing the serving. My recommendation 1/2 a duck for 4 would be the right serving size otherwise your taste buds will go on strike Great experience overall definitely worth a follow up visit.
