Moran's Restaurant

We had our daughter's Bat Mitzvah here and it couldn't have gone any better. Service was great, food was great, atmosphere was wonderful and staff was so helpful and friendly. I've had many friends that attended the Bat Mitzvah come back for dinner with and without us. They loved it.

Last night my dinner at Moran's was extrodinary. I had the Filet Mignon cooked exactlly to the tempature I specificed which came with mashed potatoes that tasted homemade. My boyfriend ordered the Surf and Turf which I tried. The lobster was incredible, nothing I have ever experienced in New York City, usually lobster only tastes good to me when I'm up in Maine. After dinner we ordered desert and then he proposed to me! It was the best place to have been proposed to. The scene at Moran's is extremlly romantic with dim lighting, fireplaces, waterford crystals, brick, wood and the christmas decorations were spectacular. Moran's has a very comfortable, warm, welcoming and romantic setting with wonderful food and excellent service. I can not wait to return.

I recently dined with a group of six at Moran's in Chelsea -- we had an excellent experience! We were seated at a back table near the fireplace and Christmas tree - very cozy atmosphere! The waiter was prompt (but then a little vacant once the restaurant filled up) and drinks were served quickly. We all ordered different food - sole stuffed with lobster, strip steak, seafood linguine, surf & turf -- everything was delicious! I was disappointed the restaurant was out of creamed spinach that night (and it was early) - as it's my favorite. Prices were on target, most entrees were in the $27 range.

I recommend Moran's - perfect for a holiday group dinner or cozy dinner for two!

We went there for my birthday after reading the reviews on this site. Thnking it will be romantic with good food. What a total disappointment!! Everything from the bread to the wine to the main course was horrible. The seafood was fishy, the meat was dry and hard and the vegetable was salty. It was like eating frozen microwave dinner but 10 times the price. DO NOT GO EVER!! You've been warned.

I read the reviews and was a skeptical of the reviews so I decide to test the water. Bam! They were right. The place was nice but definitely not great and it was by no means the most romantic place. The food was fine but I would not say great, especially for the price of it. Good luck to all of you skeptical review reader - like myself ... :)
