Morgan House Inn & Restaurant

Morgan House Inn & Restaurant stands as a treasured landmark in the heart of downtown Lee, Massachusetts, in the beautiful Berkshires region. This historic yellow-cladded building has been serving travelers and locals alike since 1853, when Edwin Morgan purchased the original 1813 residence and opened its doors to visitors arriving on stagecoaches. The restaurant's rich history includes hosting distinguished guests such as President Ulysses S. Grant, playwright George Bernard Shaw, President Grover Cleveland, and famed archaeologist Robert Titus, who first opened King Tut's tomb. The Morgan House offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with classic New England décor, perfect for romantic dinners, family celebrations, or intimate gatherings. Their menu features standout dishes including prime rib on Friday and Saturday evenings, the famous Morgan House Wellington on Sundays, Linguini & Clams on Wednesdays, and crispy Fried Clam Dinners on Thursdays. The inn has changed hands numerous times over the decades, including a period owned by Maria Cole, wife of Nat King Cole. Vern Kennedy has owned the property since 2016, continuing the long tradition of excellence in hospitality. Open Wednesday through Sunday, with lunch served on weekends from 11:30 AM to 3 PM, and dinner from 4 PM to 8 PM. Reservations are recommended, especially for weekend dining. A 20% gratuity is added to parties of six or more.
