average 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

By nimmooo

Very nice and unique decor.

Good seafood. The accompanying sauces and little sides stood out as much as the fish itself.

Will not be an inexpensive dinner to take your time and enjoy yourself

Delicious Sefood 4 Star Rating - Very good

I am not reviewing the actual restaurant as much as a particular dish. If you go to The Moran?s, I highly recommend the jumbo shrimp with a zesty cocktail sauce.The House salad , was this good! One of the best meals I have had in New York. The only drawback - just slightly too salty. That's pretty salty because I add salt to EVERYTHING. The shrimps are also cooked so perfectly. In addition, their drinks were perfect too.I would recommend to anyone.

Best Place for Bat Mitzvah 4 Star Rating - Very good

By Doneger

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.

Great Steak 5 Star Rating - World class

By kstrum321

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.

Inviting atmosphere, great food! 4 Star Rating - Very good

By trishm202

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!
