What People Are Saying About Morton's - The Steakhouse

In Short – With its dark wood details, celebrity photos and tuxedo-clad waiters, this upscale steakhouse chain has the air of a posh men's club. Service is professional and discreet, with bartenders making a mean martini. Dinners begin with a waiter-driven cart laden with fresh vegetables, live lobster and cuts of steak; customers choose from porterhouse, rib-eye, bone-in prime rib and more. Side dishes are traditional and enormous, from baked potatoes and creamed spinach to steamed broccoli with hollandaise.

Almost best steak, but not best
by luvtodineandtravel at Citysearch
Went here last weekend. It was an "above average" all around. I only give truly superb restaurants a 5 star rating. We were seated promptly, our server was very friendly, I enjoyed her very much. The wine selection was pretty comprehensive. I'm a stickler on the correct stemware for the wine, and their stemware was appropriate. The big lump of bread they give you is fantastic! I almost ate the whole thing single handedly. My poor husband got the short end of the stick on that one. If you have read any of my other reviews, I always try the caesar salad because that is to me, an important review criteria. The caesar was wonderful, and it takes a lot for me to say that. It wasnt the best in the country, but certainly very good. I got the filet, and it was cooked to my liking, very good. I get steak every week on my date night with my husband, so I eat a lot of it. This was my SECOND best steak in town. Sensi was still my FAVORITE steak. Highly recommended. Ambience here is nice and dim, which I like. My husband got the flame grilled spicy steak and HIS was out of this world. Very good. Overall, its great, would go back in a heartbeat. However, for the price, I would rather go to Sensi. I would spend a tad less, and get a better steak.
- Pros: caesar, bread, service, wine
- Cons: pricey

This is the first time I've been to Mortons in years. It was just as good as I remembered, if not better. One steak came out medium rare, it was ordered medium well. They gave us a free desert for the error, which was very nice of them. The food was excellent and the service is top notch (see next comment) BUT The waiter seemed more interested in making conversation with my fiance than doing his job, by the end of the night that was getting old. Reminded me of the SNL skit at the Italian restaurant. Other than that It was a very romantic spot and I would recommend it.
- Pros: Valet parking, romantic setting, excellent food
- Cons: A bit pricey

Very overated

THe steaks order medium-all three served well, very noisey on a wednesday-difficult to carry on conversation. One in party had crab cakes-they were very good. For the price and the marketing hype they need to change attitudes around to live up to a GOOD reputation. Waitress forgot one desert order and foor was served warm to cold-not hot. The potatoes-onions were burned. We must have picked a bad night but will not happen again.
- Pros: crab cakes, bar
- Cons: steaks overcook, sides small, noisey
