Morel is a great restaurant. My dishes were filled with fresh, spring flavors…morel mushrooms, ramps, fiddleheads to name a few. The morel mushrooms were scrumptious! Impeccable service.

Each of the 3 of us ordered something different from the specials menu. We allowed a taste of everything to be shared. We all loved each of the dishes. Creative and flavorful. Delicious. The Trio appetizer is also a favorite. Attentive and knowledgeable staff and great drinks were also appreciated.

Pizza is the main attraction here. Endless variations and possibilities. The pasta menu is limited. The atmosphere informal. Service was excellent. The noise level was very high when we were there, but I think we could have asked to be seated in a quieter area if we had been familiar with the restaurant before we went.
