Words cannot express our utter delight dining at The Study. In an area filled with various eateries this incredible gastro... experience is tucked away-off the beaten path in the Morrison House-A Marriott signature hotel. Now, don't ever let a restaurantattached to a hotel give pause. This was amazing. It's elegant, sublime, approachable, and memorable. The menu consists ofuniquely paired seafood, beef, vegetable dishes masterfully and creatively prepared. That's what was exciting. Real creativity! The bar, rightfully so, gets a lot of attention but the food, oh, the food! I do have to give a shout out to the perfectmartinis, one gin, one vodka, both perfect We started with the "snack "of house made pickles. Fresh summer squashes andcucumbers adorned with flower petals and three flavored "sauces" were quite a surprise. Refreshing, a little spicy, andmemorable- it was perfect for a warm spring evening and the martinis.. The crudo tostada trio was beyond our expectations, andwe almost ordered more. The three worked so well together- yet each was a standout. Of course we had to try the croquettes andwere not disappointed. That sauce is worth writing about. When you get a serving with three, and you battle each other for thethird, that's a statement. Delicious. As for mains-I had the steak and onions, he had the bass. Silence fell upon the table,and bites were exchanged. Both were so different and yet very exciting. We were stuffed, but decided to go full throttle introdessert. We talked briefly to the chef who had just made fresh corn cakes, which we had with a boozy tequila cream sauce. It maysound odd, but it was magic. We also shared an order of the tree leches cake. Both desserts were well portioned at the end ofan amazing meal. If I had but one suggestion it would be to have spoons set with the flatware service. We scraped all of thesauces with our knives and forks, and yes, when no one was looking, and index finger. Please look at this me Read more

The Study at Morrison House offers a quiet restaurant within the Morrison House hotel. The best part is you can have some... unique drinks including their take on a Manhattan which was quite smooth. You can also order upscale fare including lamb chopsand scallops. The scallops were nicely seared. Appetizers include the oysters which tasted fresh with a touch of lemon. Finally, I had the creme brûlée which was prepared with a delightfully crusted exterior and custard inside. As with anyupscale restaurant you will want to bring the Benjamins to pay for it. Read more
Pleasant cozy atmosphere. Ordered the mahi-mahi and some vegetable dishes. Everything was good and I appreciated the dishes... leaned on the healthy side. The service was fast and friendly. Very limited vegetarian options, overall this place is heatedtoward omnivores. Had a nice cocktail later in the lounge. Great live music in the bar, that piano player was fun. Read more
