    This was a fabulous dining experience. We sat outside next to a roaring fire, which set a lovely mood for a romantic dinner. Our server Brandy was spectacular — so knowledgeable about the menu, and attentive without being hovering. She even apologized for a smudge on a wine glass, and said, "I'll stop bothering you now" when she was being simply delightful. The food was exquisite, topped only by the lovely finish to the night as we met the head chef and his sous. You will not regret one second of dining here!

    This restaurant always provides fine dining in the desert each time we visit La Quinta. Last time we were here was on Christmas with a prix fix menu. This time was after the holiday with a regular menu. The food and service are always outstanding - from drinks and starters, through entrees, sides and desserts. It has always been a great dining experience.

    Disappointed in both service and several of the food items. It was Christmas Day, an atmosphere seemed cold and Butternut Squash Linguine was all spice and no flavor. Au gratin potatoes were tasteless. We love the other resort restaurants. Unfortunately, I could not recommend Morgan’s.
