Morton’s The Steakhouse

The service was great and so was the food. I had a Caesar salad to start and I ordered broiled salmon with green beans and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were sooooo good! For dessert I had the chocolate moose which I usually wouldn’t get but I’m glad I did, it was excellent! I will be back!

The food was great and the service was amazing. John G. was the best waiter we had in New York and made our night fabulous.

Came here for a sponsored professional dinner, so had a limited menu. However, everything that I had was prepared well. The filet, in particular, was prepared to everyone’s liking, based on their requested preferences. Given that there was a relatively large party in attendance, this was particularly impressive. Service was also prompt, friendly, and professional.

Got sick here and so did my friend eating with me
Stop taking down negative reviews and be an honest site. Otherwise customers will not use it anymore. Health dept also called to find out what made us sick.

Great food and great service. Went in for a birthday. They were extremely accomodating going as far as printing our menu with Happy Birthday printed at the top of the page. Our waiter was excellent. Offered a complimentary dessert which was a hot chocolate lava cake. For our entrée we had the fillet mignon, mixed grill, and the honey chili glazed salmon fillet with a side order of garlic mashed potato. For drinks, i had an old fashion made with makers mark. I’ve dined at a morton’s steakhouse before but not as memorable as this experience. If ever im back in NYC i’d probably eat here again.

We are New Yorkers and frequently visit Steak houses been to Peter, Keens, Ruths, Jacks, and less known ones we like such as Club A (a favorite too) just to many to list.
Anyway, Mortons chain steakhouse not generally on our short list but we went there last night…
Results.. surprise, it was primo.
Service was exceptional, the Shrimp cocktail delivered in dramatic total ice plate and dry ice drama was great. The Hearts of Palm salad, one of best ever, and we had a Wagyu Filet Mignon, both perfect.
Key Lime pie to top it off as we finished our Duckhorn vino. Expensive, but a great dinner.

After my last experience I’m tired of accepting this locations mediocre service.
Waited too long for my appetizer to arrive and the patron next to me who ordered at the same time was done. The manager Frank could not care less. No reasonable attempt made to correct the experience.
This location needs to be turned over. Other options nearby.

3.5 stars… 4 stars for the steak though. This place is absolutely cavernous, with private dining rooms and private balconies for enjoying cocktails. Never knew this place was so grand.
I went to Morton’s for a dinner/​work function. First, the good: an excellent, perfectly cooked, bone-​in rib-​eye (my all-​time favorite cut). Their version wouldn’t make my «top 10» list, but it was definitely worth the price of admission.
Most everything else was decent but wouldn’t blow you away. The updated, dark oak-​and-​leather steakhouse ambiance is still dated in my book. The service was about average– maybe a bit too casual for this type of establishment. I also wasn’t too impressed by the apps (someone mailed in the prep of my Caesar salad) or the desserts, but that’s not what you came here for anyway.
Go here for a good steak and you’ll be happy.

This is my second time at this Morton’s location in midtown. I have been to Morton’s in downtown LA and Vegas. Morton’s continues to be a solid go to place for steak and drink. The staff is always very courteous and professional even when the people you’re with are picky eaters.
I have to be completely honest Morton’s is not my favorite steakhouse, but I have never had a bad meal here and it’s still a very good steak and I would recommend coming here 100%. My favorite thing to get at Morton’s surprisingly is the macaroni and cheese. It is the best damn macaroni and cheese I think I’ve ever had. When I was in Vegas for dinner one night. I just had macaroni and cheese and a scotch. In my opinion the macaroni and cheese is that good and filling. I have had the Mac and cheese at all of the locations That I have been to and it tasted exactly the same at every location. It is soooo goodddd!
As far as lunch and dinner. I do recommend calling mortons A few days Ahead to make reservations. You should make reservations In general anywhere you eat. For lunch on a weekday I don’t think you will be needing a reservation. But for dinner reservation is a must. The ambience is very nice during dinner hours. It’s dimly lit and they have candles on every table. You could definitely take a date here just for drinks or for a meal. There is a private upstairs seating area that you have to call and ask to be seated up there. They also have private and VIP dining. Will also have to call ahead of time to arrange for that.
The menu has a wide range of options from $ 99 bone in ribeye. To many different types of seafood like white Seabass lobster and scallops. I have noticed that every Morton’s has the exact same menu no matter where they’re located in the country. The mortons in Midtown has a decent wine list that will suit just about any pallet and the recommendations are free to pair with the food. They have a good selection of single malt scotch as well.
Overall Morton’s is a very solid steakhouse to have a great lunch or dinner. It’s a nice place to go on a date. Staff is great and accommodating. Like I said in my review I have been to multiple locations across the country and I do continue to come back especially for that macaroni and cheese!!!
PROS:
— great service
— Mac and cheese is amazing!
— nice ambiance for a steakhouse
— food is consistent at multiple locations
CONS:
— you have to go into the basement level to use the bathroom. Not a deal breaker but a bit annoying.

Service was excellent. Bread was very good. Soup was average. Steak was very average (for a high-​end steakhouse). Sides were decent. Their specialty hot chocolate cake with vanilla ice-​cream was the highlight of the meal. When you go to a steakhouse you expect to be impressed by the meat (not just the dessert). With so many great choices in Manhattan for steak, I will not rush back to Morton’s.

I’m a big fan of steak and with Restaurant week I wanted to try Morton’s for the first time. $ 38 set/​person we ordered 6oz filet, my husband added extra $ 10 upgrade to 8oz, and 2 sides (broccoli and potatoes), dessert was key lime pie and upgrade $ 6 to the hot chocolate cake.
Steak came, cooked to our request but it was too salty. I think the steak came with a drizzle of sauce which made it salty. When the manager came by we mentioned that it was salty but we didn’t ask to return it. She walked away but then came back after few minutes to say she felt bad our steak weren’t cooked to our desired expectations. She took both steaks away. When the steaks came back the manager came with the chef to apologize, the steaks this time were so much better plus they gave us 2 extra side dishes. There were no longer a drizzle of sauce on the steaks.
The side dishes were very small portion due to RW menu I guess. The desserts seemed like full portions and were both delicious. I think the main dish plate could have been warmed to higher temperature when served!
The service was impeccable and very friendly professional staff. Will definitely come back next time I crave steak.

Morton’s is the best restaurant week I had in ages. Tons of selections. I ended up choose the steak which was cooked to perfection. The service was really very attentive. There was a slight issue with a friend’s menu and they fixed it immediately. I can’t think of one thing that was wrong. In fact the food was so good I’m going back today. Highly recommend.

I am a fan of the Morton group. They always take care of us when we go there and the service is always above average. This was no exception. It has been a while since I had been to this location and I was reminded of why I liked it — almost a classic NY steakhouse but with modern twists and a really nice bar area!
The salad was standard fare but as always fresh and crisp. I like that. The fillet was cooked perfectly and the accompanying baked potato could have fed several people… but it was nice to nibble and use some of the accompaniments.
Good to be back!

This has been my FAVORITE Restaurant week 2015 – 2016 experience yet.
I made sure to check the other reviews here on the RW menu and think I ordered the best stuff on the menu.
First, this place is super fancy looking and had wonderful and attentive service.
I wasn’t segregated to some back room with other RW scrubs and service was courteous. That made a big difference. Yes they even scoop your crumbs here too.
Food-​wise, everything was awesome. I decided to skip the 6oz filet since it was small and I was sick of steak, and opted for the MASSIVE 16 oz Pork chop. For dessert I opted for the extra $ 6 signature dessert.
Complimentary bread — this place gives you an ENTIRE loaf of warm light fluffy bread with onion flakes on it, along with an entire plate of butter. Loved it
Tomato Soup — small portion but very unique taste. Almost had sort of an Indian masala sauce taste which I loved.
16oz Pork chop with garlic mashed potatoes — one word: Awesome. This thing was massive, perfectly cooked and seasoned just right with lots of salt. I normally hate pork chops because they are usually dry and just suck but this was probably the best I’ve ever had. GET THIS
Hot Chocolate Cake ($ 6 extra) — totally worth the surcharge. The reviews on here generally said the RW desserts were meh so I tried this thing. Think LAVA cake with a nice scoop of ice cream on the side. Absolutely delicious. GET THIS
I don’t give out 5 stars ever, but this place really deserves it for their RW experience. It cost $ 33 total after tax for 3 courses, and I was out in under an hour.
I highly recommend you get exactly what I did if you want an enjoyable experience for RW.

HONEY-​CHILI GLAZED SALMON FILLET!!! It’s so yummy!!! It’s like cooked perfectly! I thought this was better than the filet mignon. However the filet mignon still tasted good. The tomato bisque tasted creamy and good. The cheesecake was pretty good but they forgot the strawberry on it. The double chocolate mousse was delicious! It wasn’t too sweet. Overall, that salmon was just TOOOOOO good!

This is specifically for their Restaurant Week 2016 menu.
I checked out Ruth Chris’ restaurant week offerings as well as Morton’s and I must say that Ruth Chris beats them by a LONG shot. The service was attentive; however, the food didn’t live up to the typical Morton’s expectations and standards. I’ve had Morton’s outside of rest week at a different location so maybe it’s just the 5^th ave one that’s a bit off…
We ordered the Morton’s salad as an appetizer which was WAY too salty. Those anchovies did not complement the rest of the salad at all. Super bland salad with no appeal to it whatsoever. The tomato bisque was alright, nothing earth shattering there. Much to my surprise the filet mignon did not blow me away. It was far from the tender, juicy cut that I had at Ruth’s. Thank goodness I went during Restaurant Week or else I would never pay that much $$$$ for this quality.
Oh, and the cheesecake was ROCK HARD. I get it that it’s Restaurant Week but don’t make it so obvious that you premade a billion cuts of cheesecake and stuffed them in the freezer overnight or something.
Morton’s only saving grace is their bread that comes before the meal. That was one of the fluffiest, warmest and carbiest bread I’ve ever had.

Where’s Morton’s high level of service and attention? NOT at this location!
This is specifically about my experience dining at their bar. The food is very much up to the chain’s high standards.
What was horribly lacking at this location was wait staff in the bar. The wait time for drink orders took so long I had to walk to the bar and order them on my own. The bartenders kept referring me back to my waiter that went missing for extended periods of time. The waiter rarely checked in and we went over 20 minutes without anyone offering help. We had to order drinks and check on the status of our order using bus boys, managers, and hostesses.
If you come here — expect great food but plan on having low expectations for service.

That was a damn good steak, period! Center cut ribeye, simple — good cut of meat, simple seasoning, hi temp! Bring it on! And add some nice cab!

I came here for NYE last year and had a great time. I found that they have restaurant week and my co-​workers never been there. So I figure why not come here for lunch — BIG MISTAKE.
First of all, we waited 25 – 30 min in between our appetizer and entrée. You would think ordering from the restaurant week menu will be quick. I had medium-​WELL pork chop. The entrée came, the waitress asked if everything is ok. I didn’t say anything coz I haven’t even carved out my chop. Turned out it’s more like medium-​RARE. The waitress nor the manager were nowhere to be found. So I just kept eating the outskirt of the pork chop until they show up. I finished before I finally see our waitress. I asked her if she think this is medium-​well. She said «I think so, let me check». She came back with a freaking attitude saying well, I came and asked if everything was ok and you guys said nothing. Really? I am surprised this kind of attitude is tolerate in this restaurant. She said I will ask the manager to come over. The guy came, doesn’t even care even I told her about the food and the waitress. Just said I will take off the bill and took off!
We didn’t even have time to finish the dessert at the restaurant and had to take the dessert to go.
I don’t expect the management to care and write to me about this because apparently, the manager on site DO NOT CARE. But Unilocalers, beware of this place. You can expect service from a hole-​on-​the-​wall place in Chinatown but pay a 4-​star price.
NEVER AGAIN!

Either New Yorkers have low expectations, or I have too high of an expectation for the food and service.
A high end steakhouse should at least have service. The service here was definitely lacking as I observe them go through the serving process. Our waitress seated us and left. She came back later and asked if we wanted bottle water or ice water. Then asked if we were ready to order. I wished she explained today’s special or even go through briefly what is offered and what is available. Maybe even explain to us how we can order to share. She did non of this… but the table next to us had another server which performed all these steps.
We ordered:
— Chicago Style Prime Bone-​In Ribeye
— Center-​Cut Prime Ribeye
— Baked Stuffed Jumbo Shrimp
The starter bread, «Onion Bread» was delicious. It was heated/​toasted and served with house butter. We even asked for a second.
While we were enjoying our seconds, the steak came… All of us rushed to move the plates and the bread. I expected the waitress to clean the table, give us a heads up about the steak coming out. Clean the table that was full of breadcrumbs. etc etc…
My «Center-​Cut Prime Ribeye» (ordered medium rare) was a huge disappointment. The meat quality wasn’t the best, it was chewy even on medium rare. I was having a sore jaw just from chewing and trying to find the juicy buttery prime taste, but there was non of that. I totally believe that my homemade steak (costco — USDA Prime Ribeye) slapped on the grill tasted better.
«Chicago Style Prime Bone-​In Ribeye» was good, in fact… Night and day difference… But, it wasn’t my order. I only had a small bite, which left me hating my own order.
«Baked Stuffed Jumbo Shrimp» was good as well. Came with pasta on the side.
The only thing that I didn’t like was the fact that the chef did not prepare it all that well. He/​She did not clean out the intestines. Apparently there was no deveining done and I had to remove that gunk. Aside from that, it was tasty.
Anyways, this was my first experience at Morton’s chain. Not sure if it will be my last.
