Morton's is the perfect venue for a special dinner. Food, service, and ambiance, this steak house has all the elements for a great night out.
Morton's provided us with exceptional service throughout our entire experience with them. When making a reservation over the phone, they were very friendly and asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. They print off a menu with your name and date on it! They make cute souvenirs (which I totally left on the table).
They are able to confirm your reservation via email and once you hang up the phone, the email has been sent. Even though I changed the reservation two times, there's always another email reminder and no attitude.
Upon arrival the doormen greeted us with smiles and the hostess was very welcoming and apologetic that we had to wait a few minutes.
The ambiance is still slightly older due to the price point, but Morton's is not as stuffy and dark as some other high-end steak places I have been too. The lighting is perfect and the dining room is still high energy and busy.
Once we were seated, the waiter gave us a detailed run-down of the new menu items and brought us bread. It surprised me that the bread is almost like an onion loaf... and you have to cut yourself! Also, there wasn't a separate butter knife, so you have to daintily slather whipped butter onto your jagged self-cut bread with a gigantic serrated blade.
For appetizers, we had the lobster cocktail and fried crab cake.
The lobster cocktail isn't large (3 oz) but fresh and simple.
The crab cake with pretty fantastic, crispy, and flavourful.
I had the mixed plate with a 6oz steak, 2 bacon wrapped scallops, and 3 medium sized shrimp. Morton's version of surf and turf!
There are lots of sides to choose from, we ordered the sauteed spinach and mushrooms and the garlic mash. Both great with our meals. The mash had chunks of potato in it, so good!
There are some desserts that need to be ordered with your main because of preparation time. The souffles are popular, but we wanted something with ice cream. The chocolate lava cake topped with a vanilla scoop was perfect. It was oozy in the middle and super decadent yummy.
I would have given Morton's 5 stars but I hate cutting my own bread! ...And one of the steaks was a bit overcooked.
The servers do ask if your steak was prepared as requested.
When we told the server it was overdone, they offered to make us a new one, but we declined and kept eating.
...A second server came by to ask us about our meal and steak and offered us a new one again. We declined and continued eating.
.....One of the house managers came by to ask us about our meal and steak.
........Another manager came by to ask us about our meal and steak.
They surprised us by taking $25 off the bill, which was a nice gesture.
It was a still a $300 dollar dinner (including a bottle of wine), but I appreciated all their efforts to bring us a new steak and the service was really top-notch.
Overall, it was a fantastic dinner and I wouldn't hesitate to return! =)
