Have you ever eaten somewhere that you know will be folding it up soon? Unfortunately, that was M&S this evening.
We made a 7:45 PM reservation for a Saturday night during the Christmas season and given this place's location at the mall, we assumed it would be crowded. It wasn't, so we had hopes that service would be okay. As it turned out, service was terrible. Apps didn't arrive for nearly an hour, entrees shortly thereafter. We had the swordfish (which was very good), chicken (which was okay) and a kobe burger that was so awful I was offended that it even made it out of the kitchen. It was like a $15 hockey puck, except you can chew a hockey puck. By that time, we were an hour and a half in and I had no further will.
Morton's couldn't make it next door (folded up and got replaced with a Mexican restaurant that is struggling as well) and as Anthony Bourdain says, this place has the smell of death in it. Too bad, it's a good chain.
