My experience on a Friday evening was fantastic! I chose this restaurant for two reasons: I wanted steak & the location was adjacent to my hotel (it was near blizzard conditions). I was promptly seated. John, despite appearing relatively young, is an "old school" waiter - he takes pride in his work, makes inquiries, & offer suggestions without being overbearing or intrusive. He understands it's all about the guest experience. Impeccable.
I had the 5-onion soup, 12 oz. filet & sour cream mashed potatoes. Everything was excellent. My steak was so tender I literally cut it with my fork. Probably one of the best steaks I ever had.
Is it expensive? Like most upscale, downtown metropolitan restaurants that offer both excellent food & service, it is. Morton's is for those seeking a dining experience, not "let's grab something to eat."
