| - I visited Morton's with a group of about 12 guys, and we were all quite impressed. If you have a group that large, definitely go for a private room. It's a bit of a hassle in that you need to have a minimum number of people, minimum order, etc., but it's a much better experience when you have your own private space.
We started off with some cocktails, and I would recommend getting a Manhattan with Maker's Mark bourbon. It went down very smooth! The cocktails are a bit pricey (these were $20), so I thought it was a good idea to switch to beer afterwards. They only have bottled beer here, but the selection was decent enough.
In terms of the steak, which of course is the main event here, get the Chicago-style prime bone-in ribeye. Our bartender swore it was the best steak and to get it medium rare and charred, so we took his advice. I don't usually do bone-in steaks, but I think I've been missing out! The steak was very tender and juicy, and the meat closest to the bone had so much flavour! I also had a bit of the blue cheese butter, which was an excellent garnish.
We also had some sides. I would recommend the au gratin potatoes and the grilled asparagus, which were both excellent.
The service was friendly and attentive.
This isn't the best steakhouse I've ever visited, but it was very good and one of the best in Toronto.
