Morchella

Caution - Beware of your bill!1. There is a 22% service charge automatically added to your final bill. We had a party of 2. Usually this is for parties 5-6 or more.2. We were overcharged for our bison ribeye. The menu said $36, we were charged $44. I kept a copy of my receipt - no need to upload it here.Overall, the value is not quite worth it - portion sizes were pretty small for $35+ plates of food. The chef seems to be more engaged with foraging that decent portions.We also had the duck leg, which was pretty dry, just a few minutes away from being jerky, despite it being a sous vide preparation. Tasted like it was in the deep fryer too long, or over roasted in the oven.Afterwards, we stopped at Nong's Khao Man Gai to eat the rest of our dinner.

Morchella has brunch!! While only on the weekends, this brunch menu is not to be missed! I love mushrooms, and Morchella highlights wild, forged mushrooms, and I could not be happier! Reservations are through Open Table, and it was a seamless process. The word of mouth may have yet to go out about their brunch as the restaurant wasn't too busy on a late Saturday morning. We were quickly welcomed, seated, and our waitress gave us an overview of the menu noting some of their popular dishes. We got the mushroom omelette, whole wheat waffle, and savory vol au vent. Everything was delicious!! The omelette was fluffy, cheesy, and the umami mushrooms were perfectly cooked. Not rubbery or chewy, the mushrooms were the perfect texture. The whole wheat waffle came with maple whip and house caramel sauce, and it was everything I wanted in a waffle. The house caramel was rich, sweet, and paired perfectly with the whipped cream. OKAY. Chef Rain Grey knows how to do pastries because that vol au vent, was flaky, buttery, and blew my mind. I didn't think I would like a savory pastry like that, but boy was I wrong. It was so good! Morchella may be known for their mushrooms, but they sure know their food and do it well. Sometimes it's hard for brunch places to stand out or be unique from one another, but Morchella does stand out and I can't wait to come back!

Um. WOW!When my friends picked this spot for dinner last Friday night, I was just going along for the ride. But it was so very delicious!We had the 4 course testing menu; I went 100% vegetarian on mine and the staff was fine with accommodating a food intolerance on my menu. All the courses were a little bigger than tasting plates but not huge, yet I left feeling like I had eaten all the things. My 1st course baby turnips which I'm not usually super into but these were stunning. They were served over a green sauce that I could have eaten with a spoon. Stunning. Course 2 was a delicious beet salad. Again delicious. My 3rd course was a mushroom dish that was so filling and satisfying that I could barely finish it. And the 4th course was a yummy creme brulee.We had a lovely bottle of rose as well and the staff was great and friendly. The space is small and intimate. I enjoyed the ambiance. Parking is on the street.

We did one of their $44 four course tasting menus and it was such a fun and unique experience! I don't think the ambiance is quite up to par with the food but I think they'll get there with time. The food was so fresh, vegetable forward, and interesting. I was pleasantly surprised by every course but especially loved the mushroom lasagna and the dandelion root s'more. Everything was so well done and I'm excited to go back for another tasting menu! Definitely recommend checking them out

Was super excited to try this place out only to be extremely disappointed. The waitress we had was not very nice at first. I had to let her know I had reservations and her response was "okay?" which was honestly super awkward and I didn't really know how to respond, so I just gave her my name. She did warm up a bit while we were there, will give her that.Another thing, was they apparently had an event a few nights before, which lead to ants all over our table. No we weren't sitting outside. She did end up comping a dish for us, but still this is a restaurant, there shouldn't be ants... also beware for the automatic 20% no matter your party size.

This was a 3.5... I wanted to love this place so bad.. highly acclaimed and by bon appetite nonetheless! I'll start by saying the beetroot tartare is five stars. One of the most creative, flavorful, and delicate appetizers I've eaten. I was highly impressed. If you go, just get this haha. From there, each dish was either a little too salty (focaccia & salmon) or under seasoned (pasta), and the dessert was over cooked and a little bland outside the kumquats. I understand consistency in ingredients / menu might be hard for a forage-based restaurant, but salt is definitely something they can control ... I don't like leaving such harsh reviews, but the concept here is so unique that I want them to succeed (especially since they're planning the opening of a sister restaurant)! No complaints about service, very attentive and friendly. Not a repeat spot for me though.

I have been wanting to go to Morchella for a while now, but sadly I wasn't as impressed as I had hoped for. The restaurant itself is very cute and quaint. I loved the overall vibe and the service was excellent. The oysters were tasty, but wasn't the biggest fan of trying to make sure to not swallow that pomegranate seeds. The beet salad on the menu was not the one that they were serving. The menu's description was "horse radish vinaigrette, spruce tip" and it was served with mustard seed, fennel and a curry puree. It was ok, but not something we would've ordered or would order again. The Strozzapreti was PERFECTION. The pasta was cooked perfect and the flavors all worked very well. I would highly recommend the pasta! Last was the sturgeon entree... it was very bland and lacked acidity. We honestly wanted to order a couple more things, but it was so warm in the restaurant we were trying to get out of there quick. Not exactly the date night we had pictured.

Came here for a special $1 oyster popup. Must say, the oysters were fantastic, especially adding a bit of color with the pomegranate. Went through a dozen and then got another half dozen afterward. Service was fantastic and our waitress knew the menu well, considering how often it changes. I especially enjoyed the lamb and boar beans, very filling and cooked just right.Can't say I liked seeing the 22% service charge at the end. I would have happily tipped fairly, but this makes me not want to come back. Especially with just a party of 2.

Excellent service, amazing food - we got one of everything on that days menu that didn't have meat in it. Mushrooms are my jam and this place did not disappoint!!! Clean and tidy inside, cute not fancy. Parking in front (not much) or in surrounding side streets.

Good restaurant choice for a fancy night out. We went on Thanksgiving and my husband called ahead to make sure our dietary restrictions (he's celiac and I'm vegan) could be accommodated. Even though they didn't have their menu finalized, we were very pleased with their philosophy of trying to make most of the menu gluten-free and overall inclusive if it doesn't compromise the quality.We were most pleased with the variety of foraged mushrooms in the meal! We love the concept of the restaurant using foraged ingredients! We were able to share most appetizers, which they made both gluten-free and vegan (and even fired off in a separate pan to minimize cross contact risk), then we both had our separate entrees where my husband had turkey and I had some handmade pasta. My only critique was that the food seemed overly salted to me and the crust on our pumpkin tart for dessert was a bit burnt.
