Reviews
15 yr old kids working at McDonald’s are better servers, more professional, and productive. Waiters working at a snail’s pace. 20 minutes after sat, and didn’t even get water. No wonder they weren’t busy on a Saturday morning. One of the worst run restaurants I’ve ever seen! The wait staff is horrendous.
The most concerning issue was that there was no heat in the building. When we arrived, it was freezing. An attendee from a conference in another room told us their space was 40 degrees when they arrived and had only warmed to about 60. The waiter did bring over a small heater, but it barely helped.
At the very least, the restaurant should have called ahead to alert us that the heat was down so we could decide whether to tolerate the conditions or choose a different restaurant. (Spoiler: we would have chosen differently.)
Service-wise, our waiter was very kind but seemed unprepared. He didn’t know if there was a soup of the day. When we asked for tea, he brought a tea box but no sugar or honey. Several salads arrived without dressing. I asked for water with no lemon and got lemon. None of these are catastrophic on their own, but all together — especially in a freezing dining room — it added up.
For a restaurant with J. Morgan’s pricing, the food needs to be better than “fine.” A $30 macaroni and cheese with grilled chicken should be delicious, not just okay.
Our group unanimously agreed we won’t be returning, and we wouldn’t recommend J. Morgan’s to others.
If you market yourself a “steak house” in a historic hotel understand what that means. The new atmosphere is pretty awful and I can only assume used as a breakfast area for the hotel in the morning. The decor is perfectly fine if we were having a complimentary buffet at any mid level Marriot property anywhere in the U.S. We waited way too long to be greeted at the table and our server, although very nice and trying her best was not at a level for a $242 check (before gratuity and zero alcohol).
I don’t want to say much more but I would mention we weren’t the only ones. Two other tables were having a very open conversation with each other about their general disappointment with their experience.
I am not in the restaurant business but I would recommend to whoever is in charge, don’t try and be something you are not. If you can’t be a high end steak house don’t be. If you can be a “good pub” with that level of food and staff, get a simple budget, add some TV’s and some fun, local decor… and run with that.
Best of Luck
It might have been the worst dining experience we have ever had. Our server was lovely but well in the weeds. The place was clearly short staffed. The food was mediocre to inedible. My ceasar salad was good but the other two were crouton! salads!? Despite servers walking by with a glass of water, clearing the table took forever, as well as ordering and getting the food. What turned out to be a maintenance man!!?!, came over acting like he was a manager and asked how our meal was, took 2 of 6 plates and never came back for the rest, but walked by a number of times empty handed or with a jug of water. A third of everything that arrived was off or wrong and had to be fixed (too many to list). It was a continuous comedy of errors, which cost nearly $450 (4 of 6 people not drinking). They charged us for someone elses dinner bill and had to void and re-do that as well. Gosh it was all awful.
(If you go here, or anywhere, have patience on the staff. All restaurants are trying to get back to normal. It’s not easy. So relax and be kind. We are still all in this together.)
I enjoyed the rustic feel of the surrounding area. The wait for the meal is what you can expect for a steak house. The service was great. Mentioned to my parents and sister it worth visiting when they get a chance to go.
My brother ordered a salad that looked incredible, so when I do come back, I will be trying that.
