Morrell Wine Bar & Cafe

Pretty much any quality shop can offer great wines, selections and local support. Morrell is absolutely top in class in that category. But a wine shop needs to be a little something more to be a top class online shop. Easy use website, really fast purchasing communications, package holds for weather concerns (no cooked wine please!) timely shipping messages, great packaging, and customer service. And Morrell again is top class here too. Case in point, I've ordered online from them several times and have been extremely pleased with the customer service, process and communications, especially when I had a corked wine just recently. Hey, "corked" happens, its part of enjoying wine. :-) The team there (Thank your David!) was fantastic and took care of replacing the bottle after just one email request. Great customer service, great selections, easy online process, great folks. That is why I'll keep going back. Cheers!

Nice tasting menu for $45. I especially liked the cheese dessert. Morell is a legendary wine merchant, and this restaurant features wines from the merchant. The service was top notch, as you expect from an upscale restaurant like this. I did outdoor seating which was perfect with great views of Rockefeller’s center.

Went for drinks and appetizers on a Thursday night and loved it so much we went back in Friday for the prix fixe lunch (see photo for one course). I am still thinking about the tortellini on the appetizer menu, it was so delicious. The prix fixe lunch (and dinner) menu is a great value and we often find ourselves in the area when visiting so we will definitely return and are thankful our friends introduced us to this cozy spot. As you walk out of the restaurant you see the Rockefeller Center skating rink area and at night it's an especially pretty view (see photo). Morrell's is a quiet oasis in the midst of a crush of people!

We stumbled this city gem back in 2015. We make a point to come in and enjoy ourselves and the amazing fare. Each time we visit. We meet great people. From the hostess to the waiters... The atmosphere is small and cozy. If it is warm outside. Take advantage of sitting there and enjoy all things New York.
