Morgan & Co. restaurant in Glens Falls is in the refurbished mansion that once belonged to area lumber baron William McEchron. Luxury apartments will occupy the upper floors<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

BY JILL NAGY<\/p>\n

Co-owner and chef Rebecca Newell-Butters
\ndescribes the menu at her new Glens Falls
\nrestaurant, Morgan & Co., as “new American
\ncuisine.”<\/p>\n

A list of sample menu items includes chicken
\ncordon bleu, steak frites, Moroccan couscous,
\nsteak au poivre. “I guess American food comes
\nfrom all over the world,” she said.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is in the former mansion of
\nlumber baron William McEchron, whose lumber
\nmill on the Hudson River gives its name, Morgan
\n& Co., to the restaurant.
\nThe eatery occupies the first floor. Luxury
\napartments are planned for the second and
\nthird floors.
\nMcEchron, the lumber magnate and former
\nvillage official, bought the house as a retirement
\nhome, Newell-Butters recounted. He had three
\ndaughters and no sons, so he eventually deeded
\nthe house to the city of Glens Falls.
\nThe mansion was built in the late 19th century
\nand is on the National Register of Historic
\nBuildings.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Newell-Butters’ father, city attorney
\nRon Newell, bought the building and urged
\nher and her husband to open a restaurant in it.
\nAt the time, they were living in Boston where
\nher husband, Stephen Butters, owned Butters
\nCafe and Bakery and she was a chef at another
\nrestaurant for 15 years.<\/p>\n

They resisted her father’s pleas for a long time,
\nshe said, but one day she looked up and decided
\nit was time to return home.
\n“So far, it’s been great,” she said of the return
\nto Glens Falls, where she grew up and graduated
\nfrom Glens Falls High School, and the restaurant,
\nwhich opened in early November.<\/p>\n

Her husband and co-owner is a Boston native
\nbut loves the outdoors, and to hunt and fish,
\nso he is adjusting easily, she said. And, like so
\nmany Glens Falls business people, she noted
\nthe warm welcome they have received from the
\ncommunity.<\/p>\n

Morgan & Co. has indoor seating for 110 diners,
\nwith room outside for another 55 or so in
\nwarm weather. It is located at 65 Ridge Street, at
\nthe corner of Ridge and Maple, across the street
\nfrom the Glens Falls City Park.<\/p>\n

Salads on the dinner menu include those with
\nsalmon, shrimp or hangar steak.
\nEntrees include items such as roast Long
\nIsland duck breast, with asparagus, local mushroom
\nand scallion fried rice, plum sauce; seafood
\nbouillabaisse, with roasted potatoes, little necks,
\nmussels, shrimp, scallops, cod, tomato-fennel
\nbroth; and grass-fed filet mignon, with gorgonzola
\npotato gratin, broccoli, au jus.
\nMoroccan-influenced dishes include lamb and
\nchicken, as well as tofu and tempeh.
\nThere is an extensive wine and beer list.<\/p>\n

The restaurant hosts holiday, retirement,
\nbirthday, family reunions, parties and celebrations
\nof any nature. The private event space can
\nhold up to 50 guests comfortably and for larger
\nevents the facility can host up to 160 guests. During
\nwarm weather its Adirondack wrap-around
\nporch is used as a spot for gatherings.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is open for dinner from 4-10
\np.m. Tuesday and Wednesday; and 4-11 p.m.
\nThursday, Friday and Saturday.There is a brunch
\nfrom 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and from 10
\na.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. For more information, its
\nwebsite is www.morganrestaurant.com and it can
\nbe found on Facebook. The telephone number
\nis 409-8060.<\/p>\n
