This was the first time in years that we had eaten at Morton's and it will likely be a long time before we return. We decided to return during AZ Restaurant Week, during which we chose a different restaurant almost nightly. It's a great opportunity for restaurants to demonstrate their kitchen and hopefully win over new guests. Morton's, at least our server, did not see it that way and at first seemed to treat Restaurant Week attendees as burdens rather than guests. He warmed up over time, but first impressions remain.
The food, although fine, was not remarkable as it's reputation and prices would imply. Nothing was of concern, but nothing about the evening was special and Morton's historically has been a place for special occasions. There are lots of restaurants in this price bracket that still serve as the forums for special occasions, Morton's food seems to have moved into the everyday, but there prices have remained.
