Morina Restaurant — Restaurant in Haddam

I want to add a new review. I think this is the only way to do it is to edit a previous review. We are season ticket holders at the Goodspeed. Went to another partner restaurant before our show tonight (7/20/25). That did not work out so we all said Morinas. It was fairly empty when we arrived. But it quickly filled with either Goodspeed patrons or people not wanting to cook tonight with the excessive heat. They definitely became overwhelmed but did a good job with service. Our apps came quickly. Fried mozzarella and shrimp cocktail. Both were very good. Our entrees took a bit but we were all happy with the results. No time for dessert. Plus we were full from our food. This time I ordered a glass of Pinot and was charged correctly. Ava did a great job with the influx of diners. We definitely enjoy coming here and we will be back .Thanks for a great meal before a great show at the Goodspeed . Look forward to our next visit.

We do like Morina. The food is good. They were very busy today after we arrived but the service was ok. Had to continuously ask for water refills. My son and I ordered cocktails. Run Punch and Blue Lagoon. Both were good. When dinner arrived I asked for a glass of Pinot Grigio. They have house, Ecco Domain and Santa Margherita. The waitress didn’t ask my choice. In the future I will be specific. When the bill arrived I saw I was charged for a Santa Margherita for $12.00 a glass. I asked the waitress why was I charged for Santa Margherita . . She said when the guest isn’t specific we give the house wine. Well the house wine is $8.00 a glass and not Santa Margherita. It was corrected to the house wine. But be sure to be specific what you order. That was definitely shady. . And the wine I received was not Santa Margherita. I have it at my house and it is not what I received. Otherwise we were pleased with our meal. I would correct the dessert menu to specify chocolate mousse cake when it says chocolate mousse. Minor but my son wanted chocolate mousse so he ordered it and it was actually cake. It was good but not what he wanted. We will return but pay...

Stopped by on a Friday evening. We were seated promptly upon arrival. The waitress stopped over to say she’d be right with us but took about 10 minutes to come back to take drink orders. We took the opportunity to order drinks and our entrees. No water and no ordered drinks for another 15 minutes. Garlic rolls and garlic bread were bland. Salads only had cucumber and olives on them. We waited about 45 minutes (from ordering) for our waitress to tell us she asked the kitchen for our meals. Another 20 minutes went by, our waitress was avoiding our table and our eye contact and my husband went up to the kitchen and let them know this is was unheard of and they were better than this (we’ve come here a few other times before). 10 minutes later our waitress said I heard you want the check. ???? No we want the food we ordered. The food arrived as she was at our table. The burger was bland, lasagna and penne a la vodka were delicious. All in all we were there for about 2 hrs. The table who sat down next to us received their food within 20 minutes. I’m confident the kitchen lost our ticket and had to make the order on the fly. I’m disappointed our waitress couldn’t approach us and let us know what it happened and avoided us instead of addressing the problem head on. We frequent the area throughout the summer and this is not typically a place that comes to mine not that they’re typically horrible but they’re not particularly memorable. Honestly, I’d rather go to Pattaconk, which is in the opposite direction from our house because their food is consistent. Their staff are friendly and their food...

Went there for dinner Sunday night, got the BBQ chicken pizza with bacon added and garlic bread appetizer and did not disappoint! Boyfriend got a salad which was good, staff were great the one bartender (cant remember her name, her farther is the pizza maker) was extremely friendly, jokes around very much a people person! Havent even been open a week and we have been back twice within few days definitely nice to have a good food place back again as such little options around higganum. We can not wait to go back especially since we're pizza lovers. I got the chicken bacon ranch wrap as well the first night again was delicious, fries were perfect! We got there around 8:45pm and still serving food which is always a plus as we work late. Drinks looked good (im pregnant so can't dabble in that just yet) bar was packed for a Sunday night and everyone said food was great when we asked! Calamari looked fantastic from this women who ordered, wings looked good as well. Very much family business there and it shows, felt very welcomed and attended to when we walked in! Place is beautiful inside with all the new updates! Definitely a nice go to spot for dinner or few drinks at the bar lunch while working, anything! Will be back more...
