The Morgan House

Great place to go for Christmas shopping. Lots of ornaments and cute little gifts. Nice restaurant as well. Good place to spend a couple hours.

For lunch I had the Reuben and Orange Strawberry Salad. My wife had the Chicken Salad. I also had the French Onion Soup. Always good food.

This review is focused on the gift shop not the restaurant (which I haven't eaten at in years).
Such a cute shop with a wide variety of items from home decor to jewelry, kids items, snacks, bathroom soaps and scrubs and they sell Vera Bradley too. It is multi story so be prepared for stairs. It is a great place to spend some time poking around. Prices are decent as well.

A must visit, have lunch in a Civil War Era home, relocated to just outside Muirfield Village near the Columbus Zoo, from Morgan County in 1985. The owners have poured a lot into this gift store restaurant combined. This is not a Cracker Barrel, it is much better! My wife and I dropped in for lunch and both had Pot Pie which offered a choice of a side: salad, chips, or fruit. The healthier side of us opted for the side of fruit which was freshly cut. All were delicious! There are two main dining areas, and we actually wete seated in the original Weaver home, (who owned the home in Morgan County while General Morgan opted to stay there several times in the Civil War Era) and enjoyed a cozy fire, (both dinning areas have fireplaces). After lunch there is a multi level gift store to explorer. When you shop in one area you quickly discover many other areas and levels, including furniture. We love non-cookie cutter restaurants and shops, this in a must stop! Handicap access is available for the main dinning area with a ramp in the rear portion of the building.

We were afforded the opportunity to dine in the small rustic (term does not do justice) barn-style stage coach room with real wood shiplap covering the walls. Just cozy dining for 16 people. There were only 6 on a Sunday afternoon around 1:00pm. Morgan House is billed probably as a woman's tea room. But, there are men enjoying the ambiance. And, did I say novelties everywhere? Good to still catch the many Christmas displays. Gnomes at a discount from $75. Buckeye corner. Everything Bees. Irish venue. Antiques. Goods on consignment, I presume! You might easily find furniture pieces for $1200 and up! 3 floors to explore!
Our server was #2. She is a charming lady in her late 60's that knows the menu. My meal was $12. And, Linda's was $13....I ordered the Quiche and substituted the fruit for a bowl of French onion soup. Thankfully #2 cautioned me that the soup just came put of the oven. It was SCALDING HOT! Waiting 10 min did not help. It was necessary to add water and ice cubes. So, I concentrated on the quiche. The standard dinner plate for the quiche was glaringly overstated! But, that's a tea house for you!

The menu hasn't changed much over the years but if it ain't broke why fix it? Highly recommend the roast beef sandwich. The pesto pizza is newer but also good. Soups and desserts can vary. Years ago I had the best Key lime pie here and I've had it in the Florida Keys! Sadly, the chef hadn't made any pie recently (blueberry cobbler did sound good). Fun to look through the store while waiting for a table. Prices are better than some of the other little shops in town on many items too.
