    Great server, good timing in service, hot dishes. There were too many birthdays celebrated and the constant yelling for them was unnecessary. It was too much like days of Applebee's. But otherwise, everything was good. We had a party of 6 and we were all left feeling good about the meal and restaurant. I take guests here a lot and they're always impressed. Kudos!

    Morrow’s has become one of our must visit spots in New Orleans. Every dish was served hot and fresh, and the portions were more than generous. Bbq crab claws are so flavorful and the crawfish bread is so cheesy yet perfectly toasted on the outside!

    Wait Staff was good and friendly. However they had too many tables to wait on which kept them from taking care of customers. Had to ask for drink refills. Long waits between getting drinks, ordering main course, ordering dessert and getting check. The wait staff was very busy and kind however they just had too many tables to wait on to provide the service for this caliber of restaurant. Manager kept walking around and didn't notice, when we ask her for drink refills she "jumped" the new waiter who was diligently trying.

    I made a reservation for two, but my guest had to cancel, so I showed up alone. I was asked if I wanted to sit at the bar. I politely requested a table and was told that they'd have to sit me at a table with four spots. There were a few two-person tables near the bar, but according to the hostess, they didn't have a server for that part of the restaurant. The guard reluctantly said I could sit at the table I reserved, but didn't get any word on how long that would take. I eventually sat at the bar in the meantime, thinking I would just eat there and get on with my life. I was sitting there for quite some time without the bartender acknowledging me or offering a menu. Eventually, another hostess said that I could sit at one of the two-person tables for which there was no server. She assured me that they'd have someone wait on my table, which ended up being a strange combo of the bartender and the manager. Everyone was nice enough, but it took a really long time for my food to arrive. I opted for dessert and the manager presented the dessert menu and a special menu (that included dinner items I would've loved to try, but it wasn't presented when I was seated). The whole experience was weird and the food wasn't good enough for me to overlook an off night.
