PAST REPASTS

Morgan House, 2207 First St., Fort Myers; 337-3377. The downtown building may be a century old but the menu's gotten a definite update since the Price family took it over last summer. Patrons can still find conch chowder, downtown tortellini, steaks and Caloosahatchee mud pie, but these old-timers are joined by more adventurous selections such as blackened scallops, cioppino and a few other dishes. Oysters Rockefeller were traditional and well done, the blackened scallops were large, tender and very spicy, cooled by a soothing mango pineapple jicama slaw. The Caesar salad was another faithful and solid rendition. Entrees of Floribbean cioppino and The Surf Ate My Turf (crab-stuff shrimp in thinly sliced filet and bacon) were beautifully presented, nicely seasoned and satisfying. A house-made mango-guava cheesecake was creamy, with vivid flavors. Morgan House has a little something for adventurous palates, seafood lovers and confirmed meatand potatoes types, all at prices that won't spoil your appetite. Full bar. Food:.
