Morton’s The Steakhouse

Morton's really knows how to set a mood. From the moment you walk in, the darker ambience creates a cozy, intimate vibe--definitely the kind of place that feels right for a date night, a special celebration, or even a treat-yourself evening. It's elegant without being stuffy, and the service was attentive and kind throughout our visit.

Valet parking is $10, which you can add to your bill or pay in cash at the end. I chose to put it on my card, which worked fine, but it did mean I missed out on tipping the valet directly something to keep in mind.

Normally, I'm a two-cocktail person, but this time I tried just one: the Lavender Cosmo. It was smooth, balanced, and visually pretty, but nothing that really wowed me. If I go back, I'll stick with my tried-and-true choice, the Lemon Drop. That said, the cocktail menu is well thought out, and I appreciated the variety.

Any restaurant that starts you off with complimentary bread gets instant points from me. Morton's serves an Egg & Onion Loaf, and it was warm, soft, and baked perfectly with just the right amount of onion flavor. My only wish? That they pre-cut it in the back, because cutting bread with a steak knife at the table isn't the smoothest experience.

If you try one starter here, make it the Jumbo Crab Cake. The crab cake itself was tender and flavorful, but the sauce stole the show--it was tangy, buttery, and tied the whole dish together beautifully. Even the little side salad complemented it perfectly.

I went with the 14 oz. Dry-Aged Ribeye. The steak was cooked just right juicy and tender, but I found the flavor a little flat. It had that pure "cooked meat" taste, which isn't bad at all, just not as bold or seasoned as I expected from Morton's.

Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Shallots: These weren't for me. The texture reminded me of boiled cabbage, with a few tough bits that weren't enjoyable. I've realized I'm firmly a "crispy Brussels sprouts" fan.

Smoked Gouda & Bacon Au Gratin Potatoes now these were the opposite--rich, decadent, and absolutely delicious. The portion was huge (easily feeds four), and the creamy Gouda and smoky bacon made it hard to stop eating.

We ended with the Morton's Hot Chocolate Cake. It's very rich, almost overwhelming if you're not a big chocolate lover. My friend adored it and said it satisfied her sweet tooth instantly. For me, it was a bit much, but I did enjoy the vanilla ice cream paired with the warm cake.

Service was gracious, the atmosphere was romantic, and the food had its highs and lows. The crab cake and potatoes were standouts, while the steak and Brussels sprouts didn't quite hit the mark for me. Still, the overall experience was enjoyable.

visually, the restaurant is very beautiful and memorable. the lighting is really dark, so if you have trouble seeing remember to bring a flash light.
the steak was simply best slab of meat I ever had in my life, which was expected for a $80+ dollar meal 😁. I got a filet mignon with garlic butter dressing, and it was simply perfect. you also MUST TRY the ceaser salad! the dressing was very light and went very well with the veggies. for dessert, I got the creme brulee with my mom, (we shared a meal), and since it was both of our birthdays the waiter was kind enough to give each of us our own creme brulee! thank you waiter! (so sorry I forgot your name 😅) great experience and I'm looking forward to my next visit.

note: If you're planning to use gift cards to pay for your meal, know that they don't apply to tip and you have to pay for tip out of pocket.

The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. I was in the area for a conference and stopped by. I enjoyed a Bloody Mary, Steakhouse Salad, and French Onion soup. If you are looking for a high end steak experience with a large spirit and wine selection, this is your place. My table mates steak looked amazing! The outdoor seating was nice. This would be a great date spot!

We visited from Japan and had a wonderful dinner at Morton’s The Steakhouse.

We ordered drinks, the Steakhouse Wedge, the 8oz Filet, the 16oz Ribeye, mashed potatoes, and Grilled Asparagus. Everything was absolutely delicious.

Unfortunately, we don’t speak English well and had to communicate using a translation app. Even so, our server, George, provided truly exceptional service and made us feel comfortable and welcome throughout the evening.

He made our experience very special, and we had such a happy and memorable time.

Thank you so much, George.

Absolutely top shelf food and service. I spoke to Mr Gomez and let him know that Becca did an absolutely stellar job and made superb food choices for my wife's birthday dinner. We live in San Diego, but love this location! Thank you so very much Mr Gomez and Becca!
