This place really is as good as it gets. I made it a point to visit all the top steak houses in Charlotte and Morton's holds the title and reigns supreme!
This was the first steakhouse I went to and I will have to rank them in the following order:
1 - Morton's
2 - Del Frisco's
2 - Sullivans
3 - Ruth's Chris
4 - Capital Grille
Why is it number 1? First off the steak. Fillet Mignon was to die for, literally. Ok not literally but it was by far the most flavorful steak I've ever had. I love rare steaks and this was cooked absolutely perfect. The sides were delish as well but the steak the steak THE STEAK is amazing!
I would say the service is better than the food, but it can't get better. The service is top notch seriously, our waiter joked with us and managed to be completely professional at the same time. The manager also talked with our group for a while as well. Hell even the valet guys were cool.
Then after dinner and drinks they took a group picture and gave each of us a copy, for free! In the steakhouses in Vegas I frequent they always charge $20 to $30 a copy, so that was icing on the cake to me.
The layout is pretty nice and classy. Tables are spaced well apart and not cramped at all. There is an upstairs that overlooks the downstairs dining room, nice for a party. The bar is all dark wood and to me is straight from the 20's. You don't find too many classy bars like this anymore. This place is classy, well appointed, and comfortable.
You dont get the snobby feel that "some" of the nicer restaurants give off either.
Hands down, best Steakhouse in CLT!
