Morel is a great restaurant. My dishes were filled with fresh, spring flavors…morel mushrooms, ramps, fiddleheads to name a few. The morel mushrooms were scrumptious! Impeccable service.

I had requested a special table with both bench and chair seating for 6 because of health issues of 2 of our elderly members and it was perfectl. 4 of us were quickly seated at our table while we waited for the other 2. Our waiter quickly served us our drinks and gave us menus. He checked back with us and put our orders in when the late parties notified us they would be further delayed. As soon as they arrived he quickly took their orders and all the food came out at the same time. We had Mexican entrees and pizzas all sizzling hot. The food was excellent and the birthday appetizer at the end of the meal was delicious. Because our male server was excellent checking in with us and replenishing our drinks I was happy to double his tip.

About the restaurant

You are cordially invited to visit Transfer Pizzeria Café, located in the Harbor District on the corner of 1st and Mitchell Streets. Established in 2008, the namesake is Transfer Pharmacy, a classic cornerstone drugstore from a bygone era that for decades supplied a thriving community with goods and services as evidenced by the stained glass windows still in place. The pharmacy was appropriately named for the constant activity that took place just outside - the boarding, departures, and transfers of the countless daily commuters of the time. The tradition of a reliable cornerstone establishment continues today, as Transfer Pizzeria delivers a unique dose of delicious pizza, drink, atmosphere, and friendly service.

We keep an active wait-list and gladly accommodate walk-ins as part of both our lunch and dinner service.

Pizza is the main attraction here. Endless variations and possibilities. The pasta menu is limited. The atmosphere informal. Service was excellent. The noise level was very high when we were there, but I think we could have asked to be seated in a quieter area if we had been familiar with the restaurant before we went.

Each of the 3 of us ordered something different from the specials menu. We allowed a taste of everything to be shared. We all loved each of the dishes. Creative and flavorful. Delicious. The Trio appetizer is also a favorite. Attentive and knowledgeable staff and great drinks were also appreciated.

We always have the best experience at La Merenda. The menu is outstanding! We were adventurous this time and tried the goat dish - it was our favorite! Don’t ever hesitate to choose La Merenda. And don’t forget they have the best patio in the summer.
