Babymoon Cafe — Restaurant in Morrisville

Update July 15th 2023. My husband got it to go order of salmon and risotto. The salmon was dry and didn't really taste that great. The risotto was good.

Original teview: Somewhat disappointing tonight. When I came to this restaurant the first time I was delighted with the service and the food. Not So this visit. Service was lacking. Restaurant was empty of customers and had lots of staff who stood around talking to each other behind the bar. Our salads came out and the waitress never bothered to come back to see if we needed anything (we did). Or to even bother asking if our food was o.k. Then they brought out our entrees before we were even close to being finished with the salads. If anyone had bothered to look at us they would see that we weren't quite ready for the entrees. One of the dishes was completely inedible and way too salty. I had them remove it from our bill because I wasn't going to pay $22 for a pasta dish that was WAY too salty. The food was actually inedible. The owner came over and kind of gave me a sour expression like I had done something wrong. Also, I like to box my own food. After years of eating out and going home and finding they've packed one breadstick and thrown out the entree, I started making it a "rule" that I box my own food because they never get it right anywhere. Seriously. (I don't know why but others throw out stuff I meant to keep so I just made a rule that I box up my own food after so much repeated aggravation.) I figured what the hell, it's my food and I paid for it. But I'm nice about asking for a box and a bag. The waitress got cranky about it, which makes no sense to me. We are not snarky, mean, demanding or unkind. In fact, we're pretty nice. Babymoon was just seriously off their...

We got there and it was fairly empty. Our server was off her game today. Brought us water and left for 20 minutes, came back with bread and said she was not ready for our order. Left again for 10 minutes. Took our order left came back 20 minutes later with appetizers. Chicken breast salad (hard dried out battered chicken slices on lettuce and sweet peppers drowning in ranch. Seared shrimp as well. Came back 10 minutes later to take out dinner order. Then never saw her again for almost an hour. Now the place is packed. The table beside us, was being served by a different server, that seated 30 minutes after us got their appetizers and their main course spaced out right. We still had not seen our server 57 minutes after we placed out order now been in the restaurant a total of 2 hours. She comes back to fill our water glasses. Asked about our dinner when she said I was just going to check on it as she was working a huge party and that is why the delay. I reminded her that we arrived long before the party. She shrugged and found our food. Chicken parm and spaghetti is what I ordered and it was the same dried out chicken as they put into the salad. My co worker ordered the same and got the same crappy quality food. Another coworker ordered a balsamic veal. He said it tastes very poor for 40.00 plate. One coworker ordered the seafood bowl. He said it was good. 1 out of 4 got what they ordered. I made a comment and the staff labeled me as a complainer. We left and we still gave her a tip. First impressions go a long way. It was not an enjoyableble visit. I wony e dire it...

Let's start by saying this: you know you are in for good eats when the staff are excited for you to try the restaurant's food, even when they aren't culinary staff. During my first experience with Babymoon, I was travelling to the area and needed to work through the evening, but wanted to get some decent (preferably good) food delivered to my hotel if possible. Babymoon's website explicitly refers to delivery to a number of nearby hotels. The delivery fee and prices are also quite reasonable!! Babymoon happened to deliver to my hotel, so I was in luck!

The employee who took my order was kind and genuinely excited for me to try the food, as was the kind and timely delivery employee. My order was correct and good temperatures. It came with plenty of napkins, cutlery and bread. The food was outstanding. The portion sizes were generous but not insane. I ordered one salad, one entree and one dessert, and it will be enough for me to make 1 meal/day for a few days from it. I get the impression that most items would probably be enough for 2 people to split if you aren't looking for a huge meal.

The food tasted fresh and with fresh ingredients. The flavors and textures were outstanding. I think pasta has a tendency to sometimes taste very bland and rubbery. This pasta was fantastic. Definitely give this restaurant a try when you are in the area. Take advantage of the delivery if you don't want to venture out! That being said, I've heard it has wonderful ambiance, so it might be worth checking out if you can!!...
