| - To begin, I am honored to be the first one to review this fine establishment.
Morton's is one of those places that you go for a special occasion, or when someone else is footing the bill. ;-) Because it sure is not cheap. Expect to pay around $100 pp for a three course meal, including drinks.
My uncle was in town for a visit, and he had a hankering for a good hamburger. Seeing as though he was staying at the Avenue Park Hyatt, we weren't about to go to McDonald's. Instead we moseyed on down to Morton's next door to the hotel.
For my dinner I ordered the sea bass ($42). I know what you're thinking, how can you go to a steak joint and order fish. Well, I guess I like to swim against the current. I was looking for something a little more on the lighter side. Moreover, I knew that my girlfriend was going to be ordering a steak, so I knew that I would at the very least get a taste of what I was missing.
For starters, I went with the French Onion Soup topped with Swiss Cheese ($12). It was served piping hot and tasted just as French Onion Soup should. It was perfect. No complaints. My girlfriend and my uncle ordered the Caesar Salad. Also heard no complaints in that department.
For dessert, I ordered the molten lava cake, topped with Haagen Daas ice cream. Too bad I was pretty stuffed by that point because I'm sure that it would have tasted better than it actually did. I was so full by the end that I was ready to be rolled out on a cart.
Also, the service was impeccable and the ambiance was wonderful.
I have no reason to award Morton's anything less than 5 stars.
