Booked 11 times today
Morning Glory is a garden of eggy delights. We primarily only accept walk ins at Morning Glory. Once the restaurant is full, we use a waitlist through OpenTable which notifies you via text message when your table is available. You must be physically present to get on that waitlist. With strong support from soufflé seekers, that wait can be lengthy, especially on the weekends. We have opened up a handful of reservations for our last seating of weekend brunch services to offer an alternative to the waitlist and guarantee a spot for the few who are seeking to join us later in the day.These spots are coveted and can be booked up to 30 days in advance for Saturday and Sundays only from 2:45pm-3:15pm.

    Service was outstanding. Especially our server, Grant. We had a group of 13. There was no rush on either end, but once our order was in the food started flying out. And it was excellent.

    The service was AMAZING! It was Mother’s Day and they were very busy however all the wait staff did an amazing job of checking in on the table. The food came out fast and everything was amazing. During the meal the waitress brought a rose for my wife and wished her a happy mother’s day. These little things really made the experience amazing 10 out of 10 and would definitely recommend.
