Great experience for a late lunch. Try the fondue or the proscuitto flatbread. Both are great. Sit outside for a nice view of the strip. Service was friendly & attentive. Only downside was price. 2 apps. w/ 3 glasses of wine with tip was $100. A little high for lunch. Skip the liquor to keep cost down.

my date and i arrived at morel’s a couple minutes prior to our reservation time. we were informed that we would be seated shortly if we’d wait in the lounge. 15 minutes passed and there was no acknowledgement from the hostesses (who were high school age) and there was no maitre’d in sight. i soon noticed that no one was being sat, and that the lounge was filling up quickly. we were offered no drinks, no appetizers, no menu to peruse, nor any apology. after 25 minutes i inquired if there was an ETA. i was given the standard “we’re waiting for a table to open up right now” response. no apology, explanation, or anything follows. 40 minutes after our reservation time, we left. angrily and disappointed. if there was some kind of acknowledgement from the hostess/waitstaff/maitre’d, we would have stayed, but obviously, there was none.
luckily i was staying at the palazzo and stopped back by the restaurant around closing time after we ate elsewhere and asked for the manager. i informed him that i’ve eaten at several fine dining restaurants and have never experienced this type of disregard for a patron’s experience and business. he apologized and gave me his card since i’m local and can return whenever, but the overall experience left such a bad taste in my mouth, and with plenty of other choices in the city, i’ll not be returning.

We were very disappointed in our dining experience at Morels on Jan 29, 2008. We arrived early in order to have a glass of wine and take in the ambiance of the restaurant. We were hurried to our table, in a back corner with no view of the restaurant. One of our guests ordered a Bellini and the waiter came back and informed us that the restaurant was out of peach schnapps!! Bellinis are made with champagne and white peach nectar. Anyway, another of our guests orderd Yagermiester and we were informed that they were out of that as well!! The menu was not explained to us and the waiter stood at out table waiting for us to order. We felt rushed and the restaurant was not crowded. The fish was just ok and my husband’s steak was OVERDONE and almost inedible. We left without ordering coffee or dessert. This restaurant has serious server issues! We will not go back and discouraged others who were contemplating dining there.
