We checked out Morea's happy hour from 2:00 to 5:30 p.m., Sunday thru Thursday for the first time. From their 12 happy hour food menu we tried the brussel sprouts the burrata and the calamari. All were delicious and the portion sizes were definitely shareable. Monday and Tuesday are their half price wine nights and they have their daily drink special menu as well. Our bartender Arber was very attentive and knew every ingredient in every dish! The background music, which was a jazzy take on all time favorites, as well as the general ambience made it a lovely evening!

Delicious food. Wished the "wild mushrooms" weren't white button mushrooms. But there were porcini in the wellington bites, which were delicious.

The menu has great variety and takes dietary restrictions into account. There are lots of gluten free options. Service was excellent. We were a party of four and they let us keep our table for a long time. Also, interesting cocktails!

The food was delicious. We were a party of 5 that arrived for lunch. We had shrimp and grits, brussel sprouts, classic burger and the chicken bowl. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully plated. Service was excellent. Courteous and attentive. Desserts were creme brule and nutella cheesecake. The cheesecake was so so. The Brule was very good. This was our first visit but we will definitely return. Cost was a little high but they did offer a prefix menu option for 29 dollars. Drink, app and meal.

The menu has a wide selection of drinks and yummies. The food: not only delicious and creative, but also beautifully plated. Service: Normally I am not happy with my service because either a place is too crowded and I get forgotten about or waitstaff show up too often and make me feel like they are rushing my party. This was just right. They picked up plates quickly and discretely and asked how everything was or if we wanted more, but didn't show up so often that I couldn't enjoy my friend's company. The ambiance: You guessed it. Unique and lovely. This place checks off all the boxes.

We finally got a chance to try Morea and wish we had tried it sooner! Loved the decore and atmosphere. Very clean! The server was very nice and attentive. Food was great ... We tried 2 different appetizers... the calamari and the steak quesadilla. Followed by a burger/fries for the Mr. and the steak bowl special for myself. Delicious and plentiful which I couldn’t finish. We will definitely be back and bring our friends and family. Thank you!

Great addition to the Oxford area. The owner was there while we were there, he was very friendly and helpful. From outside it doesn't stand out too much, but when you walk in... it's gorgeous! Love the rustic wood and brick accents. They have some really great specialty cocktails on their menu to choose. I had the hibiscus margarita which was both beautiful and very tasty! We had some Burrata with fresh tomatoes, and balsamic glaze Calamari which was tender but also crispy on the outside. Brussels Sprouts, they were incredibly tasty, they had some blue cheese crumbles, craisins and a hot honey drizzle! So tasty. For entrees; the Salmon entree was absolutely amazing! Grilled perfectly and had a nice seasoning on it. The citrus dill sauce compliments the fish very well. The Lemon Shrimp Risotto is a beautiful dish! And the shrimp are cooked perfectly. Risotto was full of flavor and paired well with the shrimp! Beef Brisjket comes in an au jus and a side of Mac n Cheese, it's a great portion and perfect if you are looking for some delicious leftovers! I loved the presentation on the espresso martini, it was layered And looked so pretty! Very tasty and not bitter at all. We did not have dessert, but they look to have some great options as well. I definitely recommend trying them out!

We had such a great night celebrating, our waiter Roland was very attentive and we had an amazing meal (bacon wrapped meatloaf and lemon chicken) it was spectacular. And the service was made better by Darden and Andy coming by and checking on us. They spent time chatting with us and made us feel very welcome. The food is excellent, but the service and people are better! Thank you for a very enjoyable night!
