| - The Morning Glory Café is located at the far end of a very long drive through some really nice land at The Farm at South Mountain. The area really takes you out of the city and makes you think there might not be civilization beyond the tall trees surrounding it. It is a peaceful oasis in the midst of a bustling metropolis.
One note to save you some walking - as we approached the are on 32nd Street, there was a sign pointing right that said "Morning Glory Café" and a sign pointing left that said "Parking." We turned left, parked, and walked down the long drive to the restaurant...where we found parking available for the restaurant. Don't get tricked by the parking sign and park in the little lot across the street. You can go down the drive and park closer to the restaurant itself.
The restaurant was fine overall; nothing terrible to talk about, but nothing amazing to talk about either. The restaurant is outdoor seating only; there is no interior dining room so if you don't like to sit outside this probably isn't the best place for you. One issue I encountered while we were there was that the trees (which there are a lot of all over) were dropping little leaves on us whenever the wind blew and they would land on our food.
The food itself was just okay. It came out REALLY fast (and the restaurant was not slow that morning) which means that most of the food is prepped and ready to be nuked and served. I had the "Cowboy Breakfast - Chili and Eggs" and it was a bowl of chili with two over-easy eggs on top. Nothing fancy, just that. Definitely not a lot of thought toward presentation or elegance - and, I get it, I ordered the Cowboy breakfast on a farm I shouldn't expect French Laundry... but, based on that dish and my overall experience, I don't think I'll be going back and if I did I wouldn't order the Cowboy Breakfast again. There just wasn't anything interesting or special about it. It really struck me as a turn-and-burn dish.
The beverage setup was a little strange, but I actually didn't totally mind it. Coffee, tea, water, and lemonade are self serve up at the counter and the server just counts your cups at the end of the meal. One positive to being able to fill my own drink was that it was never empty because I didn't need to wait for our server to stop by the table for refills.
Speaking of servers, we didn't end up leaving that much of a tip because when you arrive, you find your own table and you get your own drinks. The server stopped by the take our order and dropped off our food. Other than that, we didn't see her until she brought the check over. Honestly, I did half of the work myself by getting my drinks so we didn't feel like a large (or even normal) tip was necessary.
Overall, Morning Glory Café was alright, but I have better restaurants to spend my time in.
