prices. I was told faculty and admins stopped going there for lunch and dinner. We were there a few years ago for a hockey/basketball weekend. Had a reservation at Sorin’s.

Why would they possibly do this after just re-doing the entire Morris Inn? What am I missing?

I know (and trust) the interior designers working on the remodel, and have seen the design - it is a huge improvement. They do phenomenal hotel and F&B work.

who did Berckman's at Augusta. That would be pretty nice

I'm not sure where Monk will go for his daily lunch.
