Morrison's Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Mammoth Lakes

Wife researched a few places to eat while in town, and must say, she picked wisely. We sat at the bar and were greeted by the bartender, immediately, as we arrived at opening. With her first opening greeting, knew immediately the experience would be outstanding, based on recognizing great service. Why? It was apparent, she was a seasoned bartender, understands people, and came across sincere and genuine, without any attitude or aloofness you find in some establishments. It seemed to us, she cared. That set the stage.

We had a table reserved at 6, but after our experience at the bar, and by that time she introduced herself as Rachel and asked our names, we wanted to stick around and enjoy her service through dinner and trying additional crafted cocktails she had put together.

The drinks, absolutely spot on. The maple old fashioned. Perfect. Her martini’s, yes, with blue cheese stuffed olives done on prem, again, perfection. Even the huckleberry martini, wow, fantastic.

The food, yes, right on the money. Got the carne asada, everything cooked perfectly, and the chimichurri was flawlessly tasty. Wife had the beet salad to start (she said it was the second-best salad she’s ever had, first being Houston’s Kale salad, and if you’ve had it, you’ll understand). Her main was the Beef Strogonoff. Oh my. Now that was incredibly yummy and so fresh. A tad rich, but in a good way actually. I can’t recall ever having a better Beef Stroganoff, personally.

But let me repeat this, if it wasn’t already clear, Rachel, our bartender is no doubt one of the best bartenders we’ve experienced. Now, we all have good and bad days, but if this is the standard issue Rachel, just blown away by the genuine concern for making our visit there warm, welcoming, and just so ever pleasant.

She makes you feel like family and understands just how to conversate and do so without any effort. It’s natural to her and she’s an absolute asset to anyone who happens to employ her. If we owned and operated a restaurant, that’s exactly who we’d want running our bar.

When in town next, we can guarantee you, we’ll be back. To be honest, even if the food and or atmosphere wasn’t that good (and again, it was), we’d come back, just because the service was just that awesome.

Well done Rachel @ Morrisons! As the saying goes, when everything is firing on all cylinders at a place of service, “here,...

The wife and I went to Morrison's yesterday and were met by the worst service either one of us has ever experienced. To begin with, we were sat at a table and did not get out drink orders taken for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, multiple other tables were sat after us and had their drink orders taken. Then, as we were finally ordering our drinks one of the other servers brings us bread. As she is setting the bread down on our table, our server tells her "No, take it over there. They were here first", sending the bread to a table that got there at least 10 minutes after we did. Frustrating, but I could have gotten over it.

What really made the experience so bad, was that we ordered when the server was taking our drink menus, out of concern that he wouldn't be back to our table for another 20 minutes. My wife and I waited for our food for approximately 35 minutes. While waiting, multiple tables that got there after us received there food. Adter the 35 minutes, our waiter comes back and asks, "What did you guys order again, I got distracted". By this point we had been at the restaurant for about 1 hour. I asked the server if our order had been put in yet and he did not want to answer the question, only stating that it wouldn't take long. We asked him again if our order had been placed and he did not answer. With that, we left.

In short, the service at Morrison's is the worst in town, and that is coming from a local too. You would think as a business who tries to advertise themselves as fine dining, they would do a better job on...
