We did the tasting menu tonight to celebrate my birthday. Everything was so flavorful and perfectly portioned. The chef even came out to check and make sure the food was great. I believe ther servers name was Rodney he was also wonderful! Explained everything on the menu to us and was the perfect amount of checking in on us and letting us be. They also have a pianist/singer on Thursdays who was amazing. When the dessert came out the server had a lit candle and the pianist sang happy birthday to me! Overall a wonderful experience and would come back again.

We had an outstanding experience at The Study at Morrison House. The staff and the food were nothing short of exceptional, and we eagerly anticipate our next visit to explore more of the tantalizing options on their menu. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted and swiftly seated. The decor was elegant, and the ambiance set the perfect tone for a romantic dinner. Our waiter, Rodney, was phenomenal. He was incredibly attentive, kind, and had an impressive knowledge of the menu. His recommendations were spot-on and greatly enhanced our dining experience. The food was spectacular, from the appetizers to the dessert. Each dish was a delight to the senses, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The attention to detail in both taste and presentation was exactly what one would expect from a high-end restaurant. We can't wait to return and try more of their amazing dishes.

My wife and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary at The Study and as usual it exceeded our expectations. Our waitress, Grace, was superb and our dinner was delicious. Chef Mandy, a graduate from the CIA - Culinary Institute of America, came out and introduced herself to us and ask if we enjoyed the meal that she had prepared. We both decdided to try the tasting menu which is offered on Thursday nights and we were delighted that we made the right choice. The Hamachi Tiradito was exceptional and the dry-aged seven hills strip loin perfectly prepared. The icying on the cake was the old school New Orleans piano player/singer who filled the room with his Ray Charles voice. If you are looking for a nice upscaled intimate setting to celebrate a special occassion this is definitely a must do.

Had another fantastic evening out at The Study. Manny’s (bartender) drinks are beyond fantastic, Rodney’s (server) menu recommendations were on point, Maddy’s (sous chef) amuse bouche and dessert were balanced and deliciously unique, and Tomas (chef) expertly upgrades typical fish and steak with flourishes of Costa Rican influence. The “banned book speakeasy” theme was the cherry on top. We’ll be back! Probably next week...

We went to the banned book speakeasy and it was really fun. It was silly but we had a great time. I hope they do it again soon.

We went for restaurant week and it was totally worth it! Everything we had was so good. The drinks were also amazing. Definitely recommend the bread and butter app and the short rib lettuce wrap. The steak entree and the catch of the day were so good. Some of the best steak I've had in old town! Will definitely go back at some point.

I went there for the first time last night and really enjoyed it. I’ve alwyas passed by here but never went inside. The ambiance is nice and the food and service is great. The restaurant only seats 24 people but it was super cozy and I think Old Town’s best kept secret.
