Morton's The Steakhouse

The food here at Morton’s was very very nice. I was extremely pleased with how my steak was cooked (very difficult to find restaurants that cook to one’s liking) and the fries were the best I had in Manhattan since I arrived for this specific trip. It was pretty quite on the inside but the staff were great and attentive. Only issue we found was the beer was all bottled, no draft. Toilets were very cleaned and well taken care of. I would come back here to morton’s if I were in the area looking for a nice steak.

Wrapped up a project and decided to celebrate with a nice meal. This was nearby the office and had solid reviews on Google guides, so I gave it a try despite it being a Friday night. To my surprise, there were plenty of tables available, and I was seated right away. The server was very friendly and was quick with my order. The order was perfectly prepared and tasted amazing. Probably top ten from steaks I have had. All in an amazing experience, and I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

People are saying “when you go to a steakhouse, you have to get the steak!” I totally agree! I ordered fillet mignon and lobster entree. The fillet mignon was very tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with garlic butter. I ordered medium well and it was perfect. It wasn’t dry at all. Unfortunately, the lobster was a little over cooked. As you can see on the picture, it shrunk a lot. I could’ve just skipped the lobster and got a bigger steak, 8 oz instead of 4 oz. The crab cake was alright for me. It tasted a little plain. Since I’m from MD, I might be really picky about crabs. I’m so used to having MD blue crabs. So I don’t think this one is MD blue crabs. Marylanders usually say, “Don’t order crab cake if you’re outside MD, because you more likely will get disappointed.” Most of the time it’s true. I tried a little bit of the mashed potatoes. It’s delicious! The bacon wrapped sea scallop is a little over cooked as well. It tasted good though. The wagyu meatball is ok. I didn’t try the miso marinated sea bass. But my coworker said it’s really good. I’m going to try that next time I go back here. I probably try the one in MD location.

We went during restaurant week and it was great! Service was impeccable and their portions were huge! For starters, we got the lobster bisque and caesar salad. For mains, we ordered their t-bone steak, filet mignon and salmon. For dessert, we got the key lime pie and hot chocolate cake. I highly recommend the t-bone steak which was seasone well, the hot chocolate cake which had the perfect amount of sweetness and lobster bisque which also was not as salty as others I've tried. Overall, a great experience!

Dined here for Restaurant Week Winter 2020. We were seated in the lower area of the restaurant and enjoyed the decor and ambiance. Our entrees were cooked well and the sides were delicious. The drink prices are less desirable. $17 for a mojito is definitely uncalled for. I've dined at many top rated steakhouses in Manhattan and this as the first where I paid such a steep price for a basic drink. Anywhere from $10-14 would have been more reasonable. Pricing all their drinks at the same price even though not the same grade of alcohol should be reviewed and revised. Overall hospitality was good.
