Reviews of Morrell Wine Bar & Cafe (Winery)

Ryan Perkins

Absolutely loved this place! Stopped in with a coworker and my girlfriend and we ended up closing the place down. Alejandro and Fernando were absolutely amazing bartenders! I received lessons on bourbon, wine pairing, and the food was exceptional. Sitting at the bar and talking with the bartenders was an experience of its own. They truly care about their customers and their experience.

Andy Benavidez

Excellent place for a nice glass of wine to cool off during a Saturday afternoon. The Greek variant was fantastic. The staff is attentive and extremely knowledgeable. The crab cakes were light and flavorful.

Charles Lamb

This is a great place to have a glass or bottle from a great, not-overpriced, list. There's a nice patio/cafe area outside where you can watch the goings-on at Rockefeller Center while you sip your selection and have some food. The wine store (right there) is one of the best in the city.

Shanna-Marie Beattie

An absolute must for anyone in NYC. One of my favorite spots for an amazing experience and such a well thought out wine list. So many beautiful wines to try and they are always willing to assist in my selection. Dave at the bar was welcoming, professional and super friendly. Anna is a gem and so approachable to discuss wines and allow for your time at Morrell to be unforgettable. My lunch was so delish as well. Had truffle deviled eggs and smoked salmon sandwich. When you're there you feel at home!! Thank you

2 stars only because they had great service...food was ehhh..overpriced, felt cramped in a corner, no views, pretty tight space, not much selection for food...won't be going back.

Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt an der Bar am Nachmittag.

Katie Cruz

I love this place. It's tucked away so it's more quiet, and the atmosphere is amazing. I only didn't give more stars because we ordered a bottle of wine and after our dinner we were enjoying it and talking. Our waiter told us we had to finish it and leave because our table was promised to someone else. There were plenty of open tables in the restaurant.

Paul Fabsik

Amazing wine selection. You will pay top $$$ however, it is the place to go in the spring if you want to get wine greatness in NYC.

Andrew Fox

Great list Ain't cheap my friends

Display of Excellency!

Karen Toth

Fantastic place. We have been here twice this week. We had to wait a bit for the wine we chose and was treated to a glass of wine. They know hospitality!

Lorenzo Cagnato

2017.11 best onion soup in NYC

Edward Lee

Great wine selection, great convenient location, great staff. Good oysters.

Elisa Palella

Friendly staff, good food, lots of wines from all over the world!

Andreas Waldburg

An absolute classic watering hole attached to the eponymous wine dealer next door, this restaurant provides just the right size little dishes to accompany the expansive collection of wines from all over the world. It is small and can get crowded at peak hours. Staff are mostly unfazed by the crowds though, and service is consistently good.

David Walstow

Best white wine I've had in a long time

mark mark

Classy place.

Steven Sechrest

We have eaten here on several occasions. We have never had anything but superb food, superb service, and an overall superb experience.

Laura Slabin

Less touristy than most of the restaurants in the area. Super fresh ingredients.

Derrick Davidson

This was excellent and very good food, we had the cold plate, with different type of French cold plate consist of different types of meat dishes, and cheese and olives, pickles, a complete dish for two people, with, a bottle of French red wine.!!

Loved this place. After ice skating and seeing the top of the rock, we wanted a nice quiet drink and some good food. This place fit the bill. We sat at the bar. The bartender was amazing, I had the vesper and it was the best I ever had. The quiche was delicious. Totally recommend.

Cristina Rangel

Buena seleccion de platos y vinos

Lotus Torre

Do go here to drink. This spot has an extensive and delicious wine menu. Decent cocktails. Limited beer. But, you are certain to be both delighted and surprised. Don't go here to eat. They should scrap this entire menu and focus on fresh core essentials. This is unhappy cuisine.

Elizabeth Sellman

We stopped in tonight for a quick drink while in the area, and ended up staying for 3+ hours chatting with the bartenders, eating great food, and drinking phenomenal drinks. Alejandro and Fernando were excellent bartenders and I cant speak more highly of both of them. Both were incredibly knowledgeable about wine pairings with our meals as well as with their whiskey selection. Would highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area!

Alexey Dvornikov

Tuna tartar taste like not fresh deconstructed sushi with wooden crackers on the side

Irma Llano Pereira

Su entrada de quesos, me encanto

Diane Matuszewski

Very nice atmosphere although it does get a bit loud (part acoustics, part table of screeching ladies having too much fun next to me) and a bit pricey (wines $13-$80 a glass) but it IS across from the very festive Rockefeller Center in New York City...and the selection of food and wines makes it worth the splurge. I had the onion soup (which was slightly sweet- not a fan of that) and the baby beet salad. Looked amazing but the dressing was sort of tasteless. I requested a side of dressing to add. For food I give it a 4*, and for wine selection a 5* (but pricing is hefty).

Clarissa Silva

I am a native New Yorker and will keep to the directness of how we are known to be :) Food: Excellent! Have the Pumpkin Ravioli. Drinks: Excellent. Great wine selection. Has an extensive Chardonnay selection. Space: Very elegant and modern wine bar/restaurant. The bar is large and open making it great for mixing and mingling. The restaurant area is also intimate and romantic. Great place to bring a date, impress your significant other or get-togethers. They also offer outdoor dining making the whole people watching experience at Rockefeller Plaza so much better! Scene: People watching. Romantic. Date night. Pickup scene. Singles scene. Girls night out. Outdoor dinning Crowd: 30-50s Pick-up scene. Mostly professionals, tourists and locals. Service: Excellent! The staff is very courteous, knowledgeable & professional.

Brian Walker

Great staff, relaxing time at the bar. Excellent.

Just went for drinks. Can’t beat the view and bartenders were great.

Stephen Selbst

Great wines by the glass and friendly staff.

Kanisha Boer

Simple yet complex food, perfectly balanced, fabulous wines, awesome vibe, can't recommend highly enough. Also parking in the back!

Antony Giova

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME Must awful experience of my all life ! You order wine > no one show you the bottle You ask for bread > not toasted even for the foie gras !!!!! Don’t waste your money. It’s not real a wine bar It’s tourist restaurant who play to be a nice place but it’s not !

D D.L

Pleasant atmosphere and good Italian food in front of the Rockefeller center recommended at night hours.

Carolina Diax

excellent place I loved very nice

Jeff Reis

Great wine selection and a nice variety of high end sharing plates. This place is expensive but also located next to Rockafeller Center so thats to be expected. Overall the cost and pretentious attitude will probably keep me from returning. Even for a fabulous bottle of wine.

Edwin Griffin

Great Wine Bar

Jon Lee

One of the best wine bar

Jose Almodovar

My compulsory stop in Manhattan.

Michael DeLeo

What more can you say about a place that offers Ramonet by the glass in Rockerfeller Plaza??? 40+ amazing wines by the glass selected by some of the best sommeliers in the city served in a great atmosphere in one of the most desirable locations in Manhattan. I'll be back again and again and again!

Bruce Zhou

Amazing place to impress your date or have nice dinner with you family

Beth Gibbs

Fabulous

Lindsay Whalen

Perfect stop in the heart of the city right across the street from Rockefeller Center. Pricey, but what isn't in NYC?!

Aditya Sane

Lovely tasting menu and wine pairings

Dejan Kulpinski

Great, imaginative food. Not very expensive especially considering location. Had an awesome kale and walnut salad after a long day of siteseeing. Good service.

Joanna Rini

We sat on the patio, watched the people and enjoyed an awesome glass of wine! It is right across from Rockefeller Center on a corner location. The meal was fabulous and service was perfect! Loved it and will be back!

Matt Hassay

Good wine, classy atmosphere

Victoria Morell

My (now) husband and I got engaged on the rink and when we finished skating, we came upon Morrell Wine Bar. Since the spelling is so close to our last name, we obviously had to go in :) It made for the perfect ending to a perfect day. We were already on cloud 9, but the food and champagne here made it so perfect. thank you!

Ram karki

Great service great food..

andrey mazarati

Pricey but very very very nice

Matt Charske

Decent food. Great wine selection. A bit pricey but it is right across the street from Rockefeller center. What do you expect?

Sabine Fischer

Ich, alleine, weiblich bin dort zum Mittagessen hingegangen, die Service - Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich, das Essen gut, ich hatte ein Gericht mit Lachs und einen Toffee - Pudding zum Dessert, ein Glas Weisswein und einen Espresso. Das Essen kam bis auf den Nachtisch zűgig. Ich konnte angenehm draußen sitzen. Trotz etwas űber 100 USD brutto wűrde ich wieder hingehen.

Valerie Hardoon

Slow service, waitress knew nothing about wine, and gave me a dirty glass with a lipstick stain on it...

송현희

미국에서 고급와인을 즐길수 있는 장소 안주도 맛있고 양도 충분합니다 미국와인은 컬트와인만 있는것 같아서 프랑스 생줄리앙 라그랑쥐를 마셨습니다 한국에서의 반값정도 되는것 같습니다 나중에 한번 더 오면 좋겠네요

NYC Girl

Staff was rude, a popular place for tourists but there are thousands of places in NYC to go with better pricing and friendlier staff. I went in with family who were visiting to see the tree but after the hostess was extremely rude to us we left. The place is over crowded, over priced and full of tourists but because of the location we would have stayed had a member of their staff not been so rude.

Aitor Macias

Nice place. Casual. Great selection of wines. Small (tapaslike) dishes are tasty.

Joanna Rini

We sat on the patio, watched the people and enjoyed an awesome glass of wine! It is right across from Rockefeller Center on a corner location. The meal was fabulous and service was perfect! Loved it and will be back!

Road Safety

Yes

Nicole Coe

Great small place. Reseanoble priced. Great Wine and Cheese. We also got Salmon and Ribs, very good.

Pam Hester

The service was excellent!!! The food was good as well, except the white bean soup which was very smooth and creamy, but bland.

Alejandro Marchueta

(Translated by Google) Bar with very good vibes next to the Rockefeller Center. Ideal for a glass of white wine accompanied by Blue Point oysters. To always return. (Original) Bar con muy buena onda al costado del Rockefeller Center. Ideal para tomar una copa de vino blanco acompañada de ostras de Blue Point. Para volver siempre.

Rachel Norton

Decently Priced (for nyc) wine bar at Rockefeller

Nils Barth

Amazing wine bar, extraordinary selection of by-the-glass wines, including rare and very high-end wines (Krug Grand Cuvée? By the glass???), though also many inexpensive options ($12). Nice, small patio in the summer – and top-notch frosé (frozen rosé). Attached to world-class wine shop next door, whence the fabulous selection. Options are mostly French and Californian, according to US taste, but there are global options, and selections are often limited-production small producers. Worth a trip across town, and by far the best wine bar in Midtown!

Nicholas Martin

Stacy said it was great!

Craig Heschuk

Knowledgeable and friendly wine staff with insider tips on great wines make this a real wine lover's destination. Plus the food pairings are outstanding. Will Pitman is a fantastic wine guide so chat him up.

Gina Diamond

Found a gem in the Rockefeller plaza with awesome happy hour prices. Had a classic Manhattan made with Japanese whiskey

Stephen Hawald

I found this cafe on the corner of Rockefelle Center - 1/2 block where they do the NBC live moning news. I had a great express lunch - smoked salmon, topings on a fresh baked bagett with a carrot and ginger soup. since it right on the corner with a 1/2 green hedge around it makes it perfect for people watching and next to the Rock, great shopping, sites to see and short hop to Met Art museum. Very nice cafe and good service. Express lunch was $22. Lunch , wines and champagne solid - $$-$$$+

Sandra Simmons

Went for drinks and appetizers on a Thursday night and loved it so much we went back in Friday for the prix fixe lunch (see photo for one course). I am still thinking about the tortellini on the appetizer menu, it was so delicious. The prix fixe lunch (and dinner) menu is a great value and we often find ourselves in the area when visiting so we will definitely return and are thankful our friends introduced us to this cozy spot. As you walk out of the restaurant you see the Rockefeller Center skating rink area and at night it's an especially pretty view (see photo). Morrell's is a quiet oasis in the midst of a crush of people!

Shamit Khemka

Certainly one of the best Bordeaux selections in the city

rishi bnsl

Nice tasting menu for $45. I especially liked the cheese dessert. Morell is a legendary wine merchant, and this restaurant features wines from the merchant. The service was top notch, as you expect from an upscale restaurant like this. I did outdoor seating which was perfect with great views of Rockefeller’s center.

Amaryllis Rodriguez

World of wines to choose from, and each one better than the next. Must try...you will not regret it.

Gabriel

Very good bar good selection

Arthur Holl

Great service, great food, great wine!

Marcelle Hampshire

Well situated opposite Rockerfeller Centre. Good wine list.

Jeffrey LeFors

Great outdoor seating. Your really can't beat the view.

Deborah Mazzola

We have been going to Morrells for the past five years when in NYC. Nice wine bar with a view of the tree and tasty small bites This year was a disappointment. Food is not the same. Truffled deviled eggs used to be piped as little hens with crispy skin as beaks and bits of black truffle. Truly delicious, not so this year as well as the other small plates that we shared The true astonishment was the lack of attention by the bar tender who actually picked his nose and “inadvertently “ added a 60 dollar bottle of wine to our bill

Tarun chhichhia

Pretty average , good selection of wine service and food below average...they have enough tourists so don’t seem to care much

Great food, great service, great staff. Very consistent food quality and of course a great wine list. Truly a wine bar with balance of great food and wine.

prince yoboue

Fantastic place. I loved the service and it was also good vides

Brooke Hubbard

Came here with family for an early Christmas wine and cheese outing and we had such a good time. The service is wonderful, the view of the tree is so fun, and the food and wine are both spectacular. Definitely want to come back next year!

cristobal cardona

Super cool place to buy wine or eat!

Eric Dewes

Great selection. Always a favorite stop at Rockefeller center

Thomas Biedermann

This is a great place to be. The food is awesome. Of course it is a bit pricy, but what would you expect near Rockefeller Center.

James Cheng

Wrote down $75 total, they charged me $75.33

Jenny Owen

Excellent wine choices and lovely food. Very expensive but worth it.

Wine bar by Rockerfella centre... Overpriced wine list & the waiters didn't know much about wine!?

Amazing wine and nibbles at a reasonable price point in NYC. Great location near good shopping destinations and more in the heart of Manhattan!

Aide Diaz

It's beautiful place

Jennifer K.

Provided a budget, the guy asked what kind of "style" i was looking for, i was in and out in 5 minutes! Wine was a present for a friend.

Riddler Champ

Started with California Bubbles (Schramsberg) and truffled deviled eggs and we were only wowed from there. Service from Carley was spot on and her recomendating priceless. Can't wait to come back!

Jeffrey Piermont

A great spot to catch a nice glass of wine and watch the ice skaters.

Manuel Nunez

Fantastic wines and tapas
