One of NYC’s coolest neighborhood restaurants with great cocktails and tasty fare - it kept itself alive during pandemic with its “tv dinner” takeout club.

I know that time limited seating is a trend now, but I wasn’t notified that this table had a time Limit. The fact that I spent hundred of dollars and then was asked to vacate, I think is tacky.

It was early brunch. The restaurant was not crowded. The meal was not hot. The host was only moderately welcoming at best

I really, really like this neighborhood joint. There's great style, good food and drink and the service is always spot on. We have had the pleasure of a young African American man (don't know his name) twice and he's an absolutely lovely guy who never let our drinks (water or cocktails) go dry, had a constant smile on his face etc. I highly recommend Motel Morris as a member of the neighborhood.

First time at MM...really enjoyed ourselves. The food was good - note, you have to love blue cheese if you order the pork - and our waiter told us so. We enjoyed it. Though we didn't sit at the bar, it looked like a lot of fun the way it's set up with rounded edges vs. corners so people can enjoy it more. The ambience is great and the style is super cute. Had brunch with friends not under my reservation and we sat outside. It was louder due to the street noise but it was festive regardless. Please patronize this place, we'd like to make sure it stays in the hood.
