Michelson & Morley is a very stylish and lovely intimate restaurant. It used to have more creative, tastier food, but what we had for lunch (the grilled Caesar salad and a Cobb salad) were okay but lackluster. No bread comes with either one; you have to order a separate bread basket. And they were short on wait staff (although not too crowded), so drink refills were never offered. Given the price point, there's not a lot of motivation for me to return in the near future.
Great food and pleasant atmosphere
Located inside Case Western Reserve University's Tinkham Veale Student Center, Michelson and Moreley offers a limited (post-covid) lunch selection with locally sourced ingredients. I miss the much larger pre-covid menu and longer hours. As of this review, the restaurant is operating on a limited lunch menu and no pre-performance meals. The limited selection does not affect the standard and quality, which is as good as before covid.
Nice setting for everyone else but with a reservation for two we were ushered to an around the corner no view small table. Not sure why. Salads for lunch were fine, but not so much for service. Salads served for example with no napkins or utensils. Should not have to go fetch for yourself. Server did not follow-up on anything. For example, did not offer any refill on iced tea or even water. Felt second class.
I was thrilled that they finally had a fresh fish dish on the menu. That’s been my complaint with this place pre-pandemic. The food was outstanding and we had wine at lunch which was also very good. If they had the same sliced tuna dish on the menu eveRy day I would be there once a week.

The food was Delicious and served Beautifully. It was a late lunch so was not too crowded which I preferred.

Good food and great atmosphere for a relaxing lunch with colleagues at the university. Seasonal menus rarely disappoint. Even a humble burger is fancy and delicious! If you are not in the middle of a work day, there’s also a selection of wines, beers, and cocktails. Try the specials, they are usually a good bet. Reservations are usually not necessary, so stop in if you’re on campus.
Excellent meal well prepared, but I miss the former frites
