Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
San Morello offers a "wonderful dining experience" with "amazing food" and "outstanding service." The ambiance is reminiscent of a New York Bistro, and the brunch menu is particularly praised. While the menu may be limited, the creative dishes satisfy taste buds. However, seafood lovers will especially appreciate the selection.

    Had to leave because they were serving the brunch menu and I didn’t realize lunch menu wouldn’t be available. The menu wasn’t accommodating for food sensitivities.

    Without a lavatory in the restaurant, you need to use one in the basement of the hotel. To make matters worse, you need to use a dark stairwell; neither hotel elevator will take you down. On the more positive side, the hostess and our server, Jack, were polished and professional.
