Steak... it's what's for dinner. If I utter those words, my husband is on board!
It was Restaurant Week which was a great time to try Mortons. The parking lot is mainly valet, which is complimentary. If you would rather park yourself, there is plenty of spots on the opposite side of valet. We had reservations and were kindly seated quickly.
To begin an onion bread loaf is brought for the table. If you're on a date, I wouldn't eat too much so you don't have onion breath all night. Married couples - dig in!
I started off with the Caesar Salad. It's a nice starter size with fresh shaved parmesan. For my main attraction I chose the Shrimp Alexander. The plate had 6 good sized pieces which had a light panko coating with a bread stuffing center. The dish had great seasoning so I had to share! It was plenty for a filling meal.
With the restaurant week menu, a choice of dessert comes with it. I opted for the cheesecake. Now I was expecting a regular NY Cheesecake slice. I was pleasantly surprised with the caramelized sugar coat on top. It was almost like they crossed Creme Brûlée and Cheesecake. It's a match made in heaven.
What was off was the service. I think our waiter was having a bad day. I had to ask him twice for the Restaurant Week menu. For some reason he didn't seem happy about giving it to me. The rest of the evening he was short in responses with almost an indifferent attitude.
Aside from the strange service, I enjoyed the meal very much. I hope to return to a more welcoming environment.
