| - Delicious. Absolutely delicious. Morton's is now just barely a few points behind my favorite high-end steak chain, Ruth's Chris.
We came by for my buddy's big 4-OH NO!!! excellent choice for such a grand occassion. located Off Strip, but not too far, this spot is easily accessible. we were actually pretty glad to find out it was a stand alone spot so we didn't have to mess around with all the rigamarole of walking through casinos.
Very classy looking steakhouse. clean and modern but still sensible to all that a steakhouse is. after starting off with an old fashioned and a beer at the bar, we headed off to our table. table side bread and butter started us off by our friendly server. then a dozen oysters for our group of 7. i hate to be cliche and all, but, those oysters tasted sooooo "fresh". surprising since we're out in the middle of the desert.
the menu was classic high-end steak house. the steaks ranged from high $30s to triple digit $$$. poultry and seafood were also offered. side items were obviously charged separate. the potates and veggies ranged from $8 to $20. they also offered surf and turf combo specials for $50. not bad for this place. oh, and we got a couple bottles of J Lohr Cab for the table. don't ask how much these $18 bottles cost at this spot.
I ordered the 22oz Chicago Style Prime Bone-In Ribeye for $57, medium. Mama ended up having the Salmon and Shrimp. mama did give me some of her seafood, but, i couldn't honestly tell you how it was since all i CAN remember was my beautiful steak. oh, my beautiful steak.... (pause to reflect)
juicy. tender. flavorful. buttery. rich. heavenly. scrumptious. foodgasmic. nom nom.
i'm out of words to describe it. i'm not going to try. you have to get your own and then break out the thesaurus.
we closed off with the obligatory and apparently famous, Mortons' Molton Lava Cake and Ice Cream. man. can i re-use those adjectives for that? not a good thing to have to split two servings of that between a chocolate whore (me) and everyone else. excellent way to finish dinner.
the meal was just amazing. the company even more so. if we have a chance and/or resources to drop a couple (or three) benjamins for a dinner in Vegas again, we may just return.
