Real Food, real ingredients, with loads of wholesome flavors. Vegetables and not Over-starching meals are important to us and we loved our second Dinner here w four in our party. Oyster stew is a staple in our home and this was bursting w flavors and so enjoyable on a blustery March evening. We will bring our guests here again and again.

We had not been to the Robert Morris Inn for many years. The decor remains true to its past and the bar/diniing room a delightfully warm and inviting space. The Valentine weekend menu was outstanding with a variety of original offerrings. Will return when we are in the area.

The food was poorly seasoned. The dining room lighting was too bright, with nothing added to make it festive for New Years eve. The wait staff rush around, instead of calmly walking to provide service.

We were there for the Irish music. My rockfish tacos were fabulous! Literally the best I have ever eaten. Presentation of all the entrees was beautiful. My date had the mussels that were steamed to perfection with a delicious and memorable flavor. I will order them myself next time! Patrick was a wonderful server and the mixed drinks were spot on. The music and ambiance were delightful for a cold night in December. The restaurant was packed and the noise level was medium. Par for the course for having great food and fun entertainment.

I showed up for my reservation 5 minutes before it’s time and then waited with three other couples who arrived after me another 10 minutes. When she arrived she led me outside the restaurant to a meeting room area where she had been quickly setting up Oort table that she had given away. This has happened to me before at the restaurant so I told her this was unacceptable and left. I received an email from Open Table telling me that the restaurant informed OpenTable that I was a no show. You figure out who is lying here.

The fresh fruit plate was beautifully arranged and appetizing. The swordfish was outstanding as well as the fish and chips. The vegetables were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Overall an outstanding culinary experience! The servers were attentive and personable as well as professional. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and relaxing. The real roaring fireplaces and beautifully preserved 18th century building added to a unique and romantic dining experience.
