Morton’s The Steakhouse

This is definitely a fancy place! I felt like my Husband, parents-​in-​law and I were eating with CEO’s and whatnot. We went there to celebrate such a special occasion, my Husband signed his first Attending contract and we took out his parents to celebrate with us.
The atmosphere reminded me of an old-​school jazz club by the bar area. I definitely want to go back just to have a sip at the bar, truth! The feel in the dining area was dimmed and probably best for a romantic dinner, so it was kind of dark and a little awkward for us and his parents. We came in on a cold and rainy night and I was surprised that there was A/​C blowing our way. His mom made a comment, so I asked the waiter if they could turn up the heat. Supposedly, they did, but it just felt so cold in there!
The waiter, I must say, was very attentive to us. He offered us everything he could, he was helpful with any questions we had, he made sure that our orders were accommodated. I also loved that they had a separate person just for water! I tend to drink glasses and glasses of water when served salty foods, such as steak.
Due to our restricted diet at the time, we couldn’t have the aromatic bread and butter, but my Husbands’ parents seemed to love it! I told my Husband if we ever come back, we’re eating ALL the bread and butter!
I ordered the Filet Mignon, cooked to Medium, and my Husband ordered the Ribeye (as suggested by his parents), cooked to Medium. We always order separate things as to go halves, allowing us to taste more things. We also ordered the asparagus and hash browns. The food was really good, but I don’t know about the prices.
I feel like the steak is over-​priced and we’ve been to other restaurants that aren’t necessarily considered 5-​star and aren’t as upscale that have better steaks and actually come with sides. Also, the temperature of the restaurant really got to me and our family. So that’s why the 3-​stars. I’ve never been one to completely shut-​out a place after just one visit, so I’m sure we’ll be back again to try more things, but these are my first impressions.
I’m hoping my next visit will be much better!

A group of 13 guys went for my brothers bachelor party so we decided to come here. When I made the reservation Angela the manager took really good care of us and ended up putting us in the private dinner room which was really cool. I had the bone-​in-​ribeye and it was really flavorful and had a nice char on the fat part of the steak which I love. Shrimp Alexander appetizers were amazing. The red wine Sangria was really good. The chocolate cake for dessert was OMG OMG OMG AMAZING LOL! You have to order it 25 minutes ahead of time though. Valet was really professional and I tipped them a $ 50 for two trucks. Great place! Must Try!

I’m a fan of this Morton’s.
The location works for me and there’s plenty of parking.
The décor/​ambiance is upscale, tasteful and clean.
The service has always been friendly, professional and quite attentive.
The food has typically been enjoyable, but on one occasion, another diner noted his lobster bisque was off. I confirmed it was pretty bad, so they took it off the bill. Other than that, I’ve not had any complaints about the meals.
I will say this is one of the more expensive steakhouses out there, but I never regret any meal I have here.

It is Christmas, and our hotel restaurant wasn’t open, so we ate here. It was crowded so we ate at the bar. My biggest complaint was that the$ 16.00 Bloody Mary’s were terrible. Campbell’s tomato juice mixed with Lea and Perrins doesn’t make a good Bloody Mary… It was bad…

Today, my wife, sister-​in-​law and I went to Morton’s to celebrate the holiday. This was my second Morton’s experience and it is was much better than my first at another location.
Yes, there is an aspect of strangeness being a vegetarian at a steakhouse but it can work here. I had a very nice creamed cauliflower, black truffle and Parmesan cheese dish (listed as a main dish on a special card, which is unusual for Morton’s). I also split some delicious shareable sides: beefsteak tomato salad with pungent bleu cheese, sauteed Brussels sprouts with perfectly half-​caramelized onions and jumbo asparagus with balsamic reduction; I urge vegetarians who are part of a large party to order lots of these. Of course, we all started with the famous onion bread (reminiscent in flavor of a bialy). My wife and sister-​in-​law thought their petite steaks tender and heavenly.
As good as the food was, though, the staff and atmosphere set this Morton’s visit apart. Our waiter was the definition of good service: explaining things well, unobtrusive but present, friendly but not cleaving, attuned to our mood and preferences. This care and professionalism extended to every staff member we encountered (one of whom very kindly helped my wife, who has knee problems, stand up). The atmosphere is old-​school classy. This is the sort of restaurant you would have imagined grown-​ups going to when you were a child. It recalls the Mad Men era in a good way and it felt good to be a part of that.
I recommend this Morton’s location for its fine food, staff and room.

My family and I had our Thanksgiving dinner here… it was so good last year we decided to do it again. There were eight of us. The restaurant was not that crowded at all so the usual fantastic service ended up being even better. Actually the servers were all super sweet we loved them! We must have had at least four loaves of the onion bread! It was amazing. The escargot was unique in that it had a puff pastry on top of the snail. There were no shells. I actually had the beef short rib and scallop «surf and turf». It was definitely out of the box for me and I loved it! The short rib fell right off the bone and the scallops were cooked perfectly. There were lots of lobsters at the table too. Oh and yes there was plenty of beef and booze. Crushed the dessert too…

All the stars are for the very professional service. The food does not deserve a single star. Shrimp Cocktail over cooked, Tuna Tower, flavorless, Oysters just ok, horseradish was old. Chopped Salad below average, Caesar, not good, tasted like oil and anchovies, no grated cheese, stale croutons, Crispelie’s for half the price blows it away. On to the entrees, I had Lamb Chops, good, needed some salt for a flavor pick up and some better charbroiler flavor, three bone in filets for my family, horrible, all end cuts and had part of the chain attached, fat and tissue, at $ 66 each should be completely trimmed and best steak ever, steaks were over cooked at that. Lemon Soufflé tasted like egg white soufflé, Carrot Cake was great, it had a nice orange essence, Lava Cake, just ok.
Bottom line; for the prices they are commanding, the food should be stelar and makes you dream of the next time you can come back.
This is a Ponderosa with lipstick and excellent table service.

Mortons is a decent steak house. Don’t get me wrong, I like it.
There are other better steak houses that offer slightly less expensive (if only by a few dollars) steaks, sides, and options.
Our meal was good. Steaks cooked well. Brought my mom for lobster dinner. Lobsters cooked well.
$ 200 meal for 3 should have more pizzaz. Others seem to love this place. I’ll go across the street.

I went here yesterday for the Restaurant Week gimmick. My wife got the Honey-​Chili Glazed Salmon and I got the Filet. Both were delicious. The potato side dishes were good. We got Key Lime Pie and Cheesecake as our desserts. The Key Lime Pie was very flavorful and the cheesecake may have been the best I ever had.
This is an expensive restaurant, albiet a good one. The environment was upscale, the service was fantastic.
I will note that there is a push to upcharge customers with add-​ons. Look, when you walk into a Wendy’s, you expect the person at the counter to ask if you want a biggie size. This is a top notch restaurant, let’s scale down the sales pitches, and it would be perfect. Other than that (and it wasn’t over-​the-​top), I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Food and service was excellent. Steak was cooked perfectly. Price but that’s to be expected.

The restaurante atmosphere is nice. It has that stuffy feeling of weathly people flaunting their money. My wife and I came for our anniversary and felt looked down on because we weren’t dressed in ultra high class.
The food was okay, defiantly let down on the quality for the price. Way over priced for what you get. If you want a good steak I can name plenty of other much less expensive places.
Overall it’s a decent restaurante. Not sure if I’ll ever go back though

Well this was my first trip back to Morton’s Steakhouse in about 10 years and it is still as good as I remember it being. I was with my father and step mother and it was their first time being there. The setting and atmosphere is how I like my steakhouse’s to be but it was a little noisy.
We had for a appetizer the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake which was probably the best I have ever had. My only issue and it isn’t a big one is that it was a little on the small side but it was full of crab hardly any filler. For dinner I had Five Peppercorn Rubbed Prime Strip Steak which was beyond tender but I probably wouldn’t order again because it was almost to much pepper and I love black pepper but I did finish the entire steak. My oter guest both had a filet with shrimp and scallops which they both loved. We all shared the Creamed Corn which had ham in it which was incredible and we also had Garlic Mashed Potatoes which I was kinda so so about.
All and all it was a really good dinner but the price of $ 61 dollars for a 16oz steak, small crab cakes, above averaged garlic mashed and a noisy restaurant I had to give it 4 stars instead of 5.

My husband and I have frequented Morton’s ever since we were «my boyfriend and I.» Morton’s is solidified in my mind as the place where we break bread in celebration. We’ve celebrated each others’ birthdays at Morton’s; we celebrated our engagement at Morton’s; we dined at Morton’s after we said, «I do.» And each time, we were very warmly received, well catered to and had personalized, printed menus waiting for us at our table. That is just great service.
But the service alone isn’t my reason for giving Morton’s my rarely-​designated «5-​star Food Snob Stamp of Approval.» For that, you have to knock it out the park with service and taste, and Morton’s never disappoints. Naturally, they are best known for their steaks, so there is no wrong choice in this regard, but one of my personal favorites on the menu is their braised short ribs. The meat holds together beautifully until you touch it with your fork and it all falls to pieces. So tender. So flavorful. So good. Their fish is pretty delicious as well, but I don’t bother with fish at a steakhouse. I go straight to the ribeye. Blackened. And though I never can, I always tell myself to try to save room for the key lime pie. 3^rd best I’ve tasted outside of Key West and Atlanta.

⁵⁄₅ stars for service, but ³⁄₅ stars for the food. Went here today for Troy Restaurant Week, I had never been and always wanted to try it. $ 35/​pp 3-​course menu.
THE GOOD:
–The ambiance was great, as was the waitservice. My water glass was never empty, and our waitress was very friendly.
–Dinner was leisurely, but not SO leisurely as we were waiting forever for our food. I think we sat down around 6:10pm and left around 8pm.
–6 oz. filet mignon steak was delicious, as was the double chocolate mousse for dessert.
–THAT ONION ROLL. So good. It comes out hot and fresh, and with a lovely-​served butter design. I could eat that all day.
THE MEH:
–When I walked in, my friend wasn’t there yet — I was offered a seat at the bar. I really just wanted to get my table, but didn’t want to be rude, so I went and sat over at the bar.
–Upselling. I can see being like «would you like a cocktail, how about a [insert drinks here]?» type pitch but we were also asked if we wanted coffee/​etc (before dessert) and given like a 3-​minute shpiel on the Morton’s club you could join ($ 25 to join but you get a $ 25 voucher for joining, etc.). Some people might like this (being asked if they want more stuff) but I dislike it.
–I had the mashed potatoes as a side, my friend got the broccoli with Panko breadcrumbs and cheese. Both were just okay. I’m a pretty harsh judge of mashed potatoes but I thought the broccoli was just okay too.
THE BAD:
–For the appetizer, I ordered the house salad. The waitress asked if I wanted the bleu cheese, egg, and anchovies, and I said no, none of those. «So just lettuce?» she asked. I assumed she meant some other standard stuff too (other cheese? tomato? veggies?) so I said yes. Turns out she was correct — it was literally JUST LETTUCE, with some dressing, and I had her add pepper as well. I realize now I probably could have asked for a cheese substitute … but still, just lettuce?! My friend ordered the caesar salad but I don’t like caesar, and the other options were an ahi tuna stack (I don’t eat seafood) or baked five onion soup … perhaps I should have opted for the soup.
Overall, I’m glad I got to try Morton’s out — you can’t beat $ 35 for a 3-​course meal, especially since I saw on the menu that our dessert was normally $ 13.50, and all the steaks/​sides are normally a la carte. However, I kind of wish I tried out Ruth’s Chris or a different place … although I LOVED the ambiance here, the food (other than the steak + the dessert) was just «okay» overall.
I may come back for their happy hour at some point (bar only, I believe) but it’s not a place I will rush back to. Parking is also valet-​only (complimentary) but I am not a huge fan of valet so I parked over near Melting Pot and walked over (about a 1 min. walk).

Had dinner in the bar before a night out. Exceptional food and service. The Prime Rib Burger was great. French Onion Soup was fantastic but most of all the wait staff made our trip a lot of fun. Outstanding service and interaction. Coming back for Million Dollar Burger in two weeks. This place holds up to its name.

My first time here but won’t be the last. Beautiful and tastefully decorated. Elegant yet cozy, warm and inviting. The service was excellent and timely with all courses served rite on! Our apps. were so delish. Crab croquettes, seared scallops and a canapé bruschetta on points. Next a fresh, crunchy Caesar salad with shaved nutty parmesan cheese. My filet mignon was so full of flavor and only chocolate could melt in your mouth quicker LOL. It was the most tender filet I’ve ever eaten. Potatoes were served family style. A beurre blanc sauce was offered as an accompaniment to the asparagus spears. Topping off this unbelievable meal was the chocolate mousse adorned with mint and raspberries. Oh, yes, we will be back !!

The steaks are amazingly tender and full of flavor. The service is top notch along with everything else in this restaurant.
It’s expensive, but well worth it.

I was very disappointed in the level of service at Morton Steakhouse
The level of service and attitude of everyone from the maître d down to the bus boys was poor and below average, it was so bad that I will never go there again. First off I had a 6:30pm reservation for 5 people that was confirmed that day, and when we arrived the hostess said our reservation was for 4 people and we would have to wait for a table since we had 5 not 4. So I patiently waited and waited and after waiting for 50 minutes and asking several times about our table we were finally seated you would think someone would apologize or bought me a drink and appetizer or something. Well after ordering or appetizers and enjoying them it took 15 mins or more for the bus boy to clear the table and not the mention the simple request of asking for my water glass to get filled it never happened. Bad Bad Bad I don’t know what happen to Morton’s it use to be one of the fine White Table Cloth resturants in the country but looks like it has turned in to Denny’s.

Restaurant atmosphere has taken a slight downturn since new owners. Maitre d’ is NOT wearing a tux anymore which seemingly bleeds over to the other clientele? Almost everyone was wearing something slightly less than business casual. I say almost because there were at least two tables where the people were wearing ‘fashionable’ ripped jeans — really? Maybe the new owners don’t own suits? It would be a LOT of fun to have a quarterly MUST DRESS UP night here. At least then we could once in a while get back to the way the place used to be?
Food = fabulous; staff = attentive and friendly, Overall experience was very good.
We had a server named Stacie. She made the night that much more enjoyable. She was knowledgeable, ever-​present but not annoying, never seemingly rushed and had a wonderful personality.
I’ll be back; I’m asking for Stacie when I return.

Came here last night for troys restaurant week and couldn’t be more impressed with this place!
I’ve been to many upscale steakhouses but I’m going to have to say that Morton’s is my new favorite! The ambiance was perfect, food was luscious, and service was great! Our waiter, victor was awesome. He paired our meals with perfect wines and was fun to chat with.
The food was great! The onion roll they serve is indeed addictive but nothing was better than their tuna tower! It had mango, avocado, jalapeño, and tuna along with something crunchy as the base. Not sure what it was. It was rather spicy so bare that in mind if you’re not into spicy things.
We both ordered the jumbo shrimp stuffed with crab. You get five perfectly stuffed enormous shrimps generously stuffed with a crab cake like filling and a side of a creamy pasta that is to die for!
As a side, I got the creamed corn. Let me just say I could have honestly ate the corn alone as a meal and would have been perfectly content! Amazing!
And lastly, dessert! I ordered the chocolate mousse and he got the keylime cheesecake! Both of which were amazing. It had a layer of keylime curd between the crust and cheesecake and had a great flavor. All of that for $ 40 a person! It was such an awesome deal!
As you can see, one word I keep using to describe everything is amazing — it was just that! From service to food I would HIGHLY recommend trying this place out!
