Tonight begins Arizona restaurant week. I have some friends in town and they wanted to try this Morton's. I have eaten at Morton's in Chicago and in Kansas City but I have never eaten at this location.
Sometimes it's good with our restaurant week to try a restaurant that you have not tried before.
Or in this case to eat at a restaurant that you know you will never eat at again
This restaurant is like stepping back in time, but not in a good way. Very low ceilings very dark restaurant. And even though it was a Friday night and the beginning of restaurant week the place was virtually empty. I only saw one person sitting in the bar.
The waitstaff had an irritating air to them. As if they were something incredibly special, in spite of the fact that the place was merely a graveyard. When we asked for the restaurant week menu, which they did not want to give us, they only brought one menu for the entire table.
I had the double Porkchop and it was in fact quite good. But everything else was average if not worse. The salads were soaked in dressing and did not have any sense of freshness. The Brockley was steamed but it was nearly flavorless.
Sadly, the coffee that they served with dessert was one of the most flavorful items of the evening. This is a chain that has slipped away into bad ownership. It is grossly overpriced and the competition is obviously killing it
Save yourself the time and money and pick a different restaurant
