Morton's The Steakhouse

"A nice place to go out with friends. We enjoyed ourselves a lot. The food was very good. The server was so attentive and joyful. Bar area is a plus!"

"My husband and I went to Morton's for a change because of DineLA Restaurant Week. Turned out to be more expensive and not as good as both Flemings and Ruth's Chris, so I doubt we'll go back. We were shown to our table and the hostess put two menus on the table, which turned out to be a cocktail menu and the wine list. No food menu. Our waiter came and asked if we'd chosen wine (!) How do you know what wine you want if you've not yet even seen the menu? I don't drink and my husband always has steak, so in our case it didn't really matter. The selections were absurdly expensive. I didn't look at it myself but I think my husband said he refuses to pay $19 for a GLASS of wine, which must have been the cheapest. So he chose the cheapest bottle ($50) instead. The waiter asked what water we wanted then disappeared. Granted, he didn't know that I don't drink alcohol, but he didn't ask me if I wanted anything. When he returned, I had to ask for the food menu and for a soda. He returned with only the standard food menu then disappeared again. When he returned I had to ask for the Restaurant Week menu which eventually arrived. We made our selections, me off that menu and my husband off the standard menu as he didn't want an appetizer and I don't eat dessert (special menu included appetizer, entree, side and dessert). So I ordered the prosciutto mozzarella wraps, pork chop, garlic green beans and key lime pie for $65. Hubby ordered the New York strip and spinach with button mushrooms. Those together came to around $80. The food The appetizer was delicious. Not really what I had expected and most flavorful. Pork chop was good. Very big and nicely charred on the outside but moist within. I took over half of it home. Garlic green beans didn't seem very garlicky to me. Like at all. Not much flavor to them. NY strip was just okay. Nothing special. Tender, but not amazing flavor. Spinach and 'button' mushrooms were tasty, but the buttons must have come off a giant's coat as they were rather large mushrooms! The key lime was taken home and was nice enough, but nothing special. The first wine selected wasn't available, so he had to choose another. Was nice enough for a $15 bottle, but it cost $50. Overall, service was ok, pleasant wait staff, but what's with the whole 'blood out of a stone' menu thing? In my opinion, you get very much more for your money at both Flemings and Ruth's Chris. In particular, the Tomahawk at Flemings and the Filet at Ruth's. And their wines are much more affordable. And they give you the menu immediately!"

"Fabulous dining experience. Food was out of this world, especially the Cajun Ribeye - melt in your mouth tender! Thank you Brian for looking after me tonight!"

"Brenda was absolutely amazing! Not only did she give us a great private table for our date but her service was beyond words. The atmosphere is very quiet and perfect to have conversations. The food was delicious, compliments to the chef! Definitely know what they’re doing. The drinks could use a little bit of work but nonetheless everything was perfect. Thank you! We will be back."

"Great place to celebrate anything memorable. Staff is helpful, and attentive. While we enjoyed our experience, the food was unfortunately lacking for the price. Arguably, the dry aged bone in Filet, my favorite steak at my favorite steakhouse, should be the best steak. It was disappointing, and a bit on the harder side. There was some flavor, but unfortunately the cognac gravy was needed to make it softer and more flavorful. Which I recommend. Their menu does no favors to those who are lactose intolerant. Your only side option may be the brussel sprouts, which were good, but not amazing. And forget about dessert, unless you'd like a bowl of berries. Morton's does have the best wine selection on earth. The thick heavy menu may give that away. While the menu can be overwhelming, waiters are more than helpful to fulfill your palette. One thing to note is that the dress code here is way more laid back than I was expecting. I have zero problem with this, but after reading the strict policy online, I was surprised. It seems like hats, hoodies, and shorts were allowed when we dined. Seems acceptable due to it being attached to an apartment complex. Overall, I'd go back for a date night because of how close this location is, but I'd have to try another steak."
