    We stopped here on our way to Quebec City. We are so glad we did. Chris did a wonderful job making recommendations and we took him up on it. We had the crab fondue to start and followed it with the coconut shrimp and spare ribs. All were delicious. The wine selection was also very nice. We finished with a night cap at the bar and our bartender was very pleasant, too. We immediately recommended Morgan & Co to friends who travel this way often.

    We came here so my husband could experience the food and I could enjoy the historic atmosphere. This restaurant has amazing food, beautifully presented and delicious! It is the highlight of this restaurant. Be prepared for high prices, not shown online with the menu, to match. The service was polite, friendly, and efficient. The ambience is nice, but needs some things to match the level of the food. While the dining rooms are lovely, our table was not near the one window area or a lamp, so it was dark until the table light arrived much later. A suggestion would be to keep the lamps on the table all the time, and some small flowers would be a nice touch to enhance the dining experience. The music selection did not match the fine dining this restaurant is aiming for. I am old and enjoy The Monkees, but some jazz or quieter music is more appropriate for this dining experience and its cost.
