Many years in the making, The Morris is the restaurant its founder Paul Einbund has always revered — the modest, unpretentious bistro where you can eat and drink at world-class level. The emphasis here is ever on flavor, from chef Gavin Schmidt’s straightforward, pure cuisine to the unique collection of wines and spirits amassed by Einbund, a well-known sommelier, over decades of travels. Yet at its heart, The Morris, named after Einbund’s late father, aspires mostly to be a warm neighborhood restaurant which will find and nourish its own community.
“Just had their special buffet brunch today. Excellent food, very fresh and delicious. Great surprise for a pre-mother’s day lunch. Spacious seating, quiet and friendly. Would definitely come at night for their night menu.”
“One of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco. Excellent food, especially the homemade charcuterie and cheese selection. Also fantastic cocktails, and a great wine selection. The Morris never disappoints! PS Get the Chartreuse Slushy as an aperitif. 😉”
“Blew me away. I cannot wrap my head around how good the duck is. The texture is and the flavors are unlike any preparation of duck I've ever had in any cuisine. The salad is perfect, the spiny lobster Crudo was so flavour packed and fresh, both being the perfect appetizers for the main event which was the duck. This is an absolute MUST. I usually don't order duck places because I'm always skeptical if people can cook it right but someone brought me here and recommended it and indeed, it was perfection. Then, as if it couldn't get any better the ice cream or some of the best ice cream I've had in my life. Sometimes when people do alcoholic ice creams it's too heavy on the alcohol and the texture is off or it's too hot in my throat, these guys really figured out how to extract the flavors of chartreuse without having the heat of it in your mouth. It was like heaven I'm never gonna stop thinking about it. The buttermilk ice cream is also excellent and I highly recommend just getting both scoops. I cannot wait to come back here. I can imagine this being a stop on every San Francisco trip i take, i seriously was swept away.”
“The Morris , let me try to capture all the good things that are going on here. So we gave this place a try on a Thursday evening and it's certainly surprising how busy this little place is. The place is rather narrow and the ceiling is rather low. Congratulations to the decorator for making the place feel inviting and warm. I love the open kitchen at the entrance, it gives you a good glance at the various dishes and your nostrils will be on high alert absorbing the various smells. The staff is super attentive friendly and has a fantastic memory as they remember which guest ordered which wine and brought the correct bottle for refill without having to ask. The food. we really enjoyed the appetizers. The pork cracklings were yummy and rather light great for sharing and best with a cocktail. For me the best dish was the brocolini with squid. The combo of the charred, the lime juice ...out of this world. For the main we tried 1/2 of the smoked duck. Now let me tell you it's good but.. it's so rich in smoked flavor that after a few bites I was completely with the flavors and we had a hard time finishing the serving. My recommendation 1/2 a duck for 4 would be the right serving size otherwise your taste buds will go on strike Great experience overall definitely worth a follow up visit.”
“I think they got bored here. We had the duck, crab porridge, salad, and chocolate pudding. The flavors were there but nothing gave me a wow. Duck was dry, the chicken at Zuni was much better. After eating at Ernest and side A nearby and being blown away I was disappointed to see The Morriss is nowhere near the same level. I’d rec going elsewhere. Surprised to see the 4.7 on google. 6% added fee on bill.”
