Went back to Morton's tonight for their "lobster special". Special? Seriously? For $40 you got a 2 pound lobster...that's it. No salad, no side, nothing. (Oh yeah, they brought you a loaf of bread.)
In my party of four, three of us had lobster, one had the filet mignon. Four guests, four underwhelming meals. The meat was subpar and the lobster was chewy, filled with black sludge and tasteless. None of us had ever seen so much and such dark liquid inside a lobster before. It was quite unappetizing to look at and sadly, the waiter never brought us a plate/bowl to discard the shells, insides etc into so there sat the sludge on our appetizer/bread plates staring up at each of us.
We ordered a side of Brussels sprouts to share. They too were tasteless and very oily.
Dessert was fair. An $18 piece of mediocre chocolate caked topped with vanilla ice cream and a large mound of whipped cream. Certainly not worth the price.
After paying the $360 bill for four (including tax and tip) we all agreed that we would not be returning to Morton's. This was not another unfortunate bad night, this was just BAD!
