This place is good for dinner with friends. It has a calm ambience and was not too busy when I was there. The food was good and the chefs and waiters were really friendly. We had a good night out and halal special requests were acknowledged. The sauces and food were separated on request. The only downside is that they did not have a lot of mock-tail options for teetotalers.

Food was great, wine was great, only negative was the bartender who promised to feed me my bucatini, then left me stranded with a fork to fend for myself. Not sure what happened to the service industry but I’d like to see a bartender who follows through when she promises to feed a patron, just sayin.

We came in for Thanksgiving, as they were doing a buffet, and we had people in from out of town. The food was really good and the service was almost perfect. We had 4 kids with us (2 under a year), and they were great with the kids. It was a little pricey per person, but it was a holiday, so totally understandable. Our issue with service was that since it was a buffet, our plates should've been cleared, but we had a stack of them constantly. The other issue was when our server came to ask about our bill. He basically made us feel like he wanted us to hurry up and leave. He told us, "Are you ready for the bill so you can go?" It was a little rude, so we all packed up to head out. Other than that, it was a good meal and we look forward to going back for a good meal.Kid-friendliness: They've got highchairs if needed, and will bring a toddler a drink with a lid and straw.

Everything was very good. Unfortunately nothing was outstanding. At this price, I expected outstanding. I will be slow to return, but if it was on someone else's dime, I'd say "sure!"

This is very pleasant and friendly dinner spot with a casual feel but with just enough elegance - it's a place you'd take your parents to. I had the pasta with salmon special and my husband had the fried cauliflower and we split a salad. Good wine list, and husband enjoyed a strong vodka martini. He actually had a second one, which is always a good sign. Sargasso is a solid place, not cutting edge or anything, but I enjoyed it.

Really nice to see an international menu that was done well, the schnitzel and Peruvian chicken were both on point, and for a reasonable price, overall enjoyed our experience, and will return.

Food is excellent. Staff were fine. Portions small. Prices are very high. The private room in the back is beside bathroom which is awkward.

We live about an hour away and drove to Sargasso to meet friends from Morgantown. The food was great, I had the pork chop and my wife had the crab cakes. We also had some charcutier and cheese boards for appetizers. There was 7 of us and we also enjoyed some very good red wine. Along those lines, they had a very nice wine selection to choose from. Our waiter, Jack, did a fantastic job. He was very attentive and despite having a rambunctious group, he didn't make a single mistake. Definitely recommend.

For years has been one of the top restaurants in Morgantown! A great dining experience with service that stands out.
Basically ridiculous prices for terrible food. They want to charge Morton’s fine dining prices but deliver a dirty table, and food that easily seems to be cooked by untrained high schoolers. If you are looking to be charged $54 for a minuscule piece of steak about the size of a tangerine placed on top of literal A1 steak sauce accompanied by overcooked fingerling potatoes that are dry and over seasoned come here. If you are looking to order a “salad“ that consists of sliced almost expiring celery with a few pieces of dry date and some poor quality red sauce advertised as cranberry but having no taste of cranberry, then come here. If you want to sit on tables that are so dirty your arm sticks to it when you take it off the table, then come here. The staff is polite, because this is Morgantown, WV. Everything else is a joke. I could have had better tasting food from McDonalds.

Every time I go eat here, I think I've had my best meal, drink, soup, dessert, etc, to just go back in and be wowed all over again. It's literally my favorite place to eat in Morgantown and one of two spots I frequent. I'm done exploring the food scene here. Most restaurants are venues that serve food that want to make a buck with some gimmick. This place is foodie heaven, and I'm so so so so glad I tried it out one random Monday lunch. The staff are also great! They are friendly and knowledgeable and treat you like you're the only guest in the building. Absolutely zero complaints from me.

Our server was great. Our appetizer and cocktails were very good. The sides on both of our entrees were very good, but we both felt the meat was lacking in both quality and taste. Desert was amazing. Our entrees took forever to arrive at our table. The couple beside us, who arrived long after us, received their food at least fifteen minutes before ours arrived.

I’ve loved Sargasso for years. All experiences were nearly perfect up till my visit on 5/31. The restaurant was nearly empty (3 tables and one group in the private area). Our meal took a complete hour to arrive after ordering. As a family with 4 kids, this was rough. Everyone was miserably hungry by the time the food arrived. In my group, all seemed to enjoy their food minus mine. The pork chop was simply average. It tasted like shake and bake breading with a fatty piece of meat. I won’t give up on the one bad experience but I’m certainly disappointed.

Very cute place with wonderful food. They have a limited lunch menu that is delicious. I would recommend maybe a half a sandwich and soup/salad deal. The BLT and tuna melt were amazing!
