I made my first trip to Morton's last night and I felt like it was a mixed bag.
My girlfriend and I started our dinner with the chilled Ocean Platter for two and it was delicious. It had a thorough sample of the various seafood options you typically find on a seafood menu and felt like good value for the price.
For the main course, I ordered the porterhouse. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was quite tender. Unfortunately, it did not have the flavour I have come to expect from a well-cooked steak and I am still not sure why. The accompanying side dish of grilled asparagus with a balsamic sauce was rather nasty. The asparagus tasted like the grill and the balsamic sauce was clearly a poorly integrated afterthought. Furthermore, half of the stalks were not trimmed properly. My girlfriend had the salmon and said it was above average but I tasted it and found it to be nothing special.
The atmosphere of the place was old school and for my taste, far too stuffy. Some people might like the dim lights and waiters with bow ties but it is clearly not for me. I would likely not return to this restaurant and would suggest that the younger crowd could probably find a better alternative.
