We stopped here on Christmas Day without any reservation. The restaurant was very busy but we found a spot at the bar and were happy to eat there. I ordered a glass of wine and my other half ordered an old fashioned (which he said was very good). I had the lobster ravioli which was amazing, probably the best version of this type of dish I have had. The portion was huge and there was a good amount of lobster, I felt very full after eating this. My partner had the NY Strip which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. He ordered the green beans as his side which were tasty, albeit a little different with the Szechuan seasoning. After our main courses we were too full to order desserts. We did order the Morton coffees though which were good (and very boozy). Bill came to about $100 a head (including tax and tip) which we didn’t think was too bad given the quality of the food. We would definitely return here if we are in the area.

Came here as part of a business trip and it was perfect. Prime ribeye was so tender and delicious. Bread is so tasty as well. Tried the bacon wrapped scallops, simply amazing. Glad we came here as it was all excellent.

I really had a craving for a good steakhouse wedge salad, and Morton's did not disappoint. Great wine, and a delightful bartender! She was lots of fun, and even wrapped up my leftover bread (which was huge and very good) and put extra butter in. Morton's was the perfect vibe after a long day of seeing all the sites.

This restaurant deserves 4 stars from 5. Steaks was good but not the best. The service was nice and helpful, but the restaurant was too crowded. Good!

Came for a hosted meal/event: they had space to host perhaps 30-40 of us on the 2nd floor and managed the crowd really well. Problem was that there wasn’t waiting space within Morton’s before the event started which was a pity because it was a freezing day in Chicago. The quality of the steak was good despite being “mass produced” for the event, showed that they had a lot of experience which was great. The New York strip was way better than the fillet mignon which turned out to be a little too dry. The sides were good especially the potato gratin which I kept going back for more. To finish there was a key lime pie which was a very nice end to a rich meal. Not too sweet but tarte enough to cut through the richness of the steak.

Very nice atmosphere. Without a reservation, you might only get the lounge or car. Staff are nice and professional. Had just one guy managing all the lounge tables, but he was prompt. And the food was great! Steak is worth it. But their appetizers are also good.

The juiciest steak,hands down. I am very sad i wasnt able to actually take a picture of the best steak ever but it was definitely worth it. Atmosphere was okay,music can be more modestly louder but it was fine. Service was top notch. Will definitely be back.

Came for dinner and sat on the high top by the bar. Would have given 5 stars but my server was extremely inattentive (I think his name was Jorge). He never once stopped by my table to get my order or even checked on the service. I had to constantly try to get his attention…even though he seemed to properly tend to every other table around me. As far as the food goes…I ordered the lobster bisque, bone in ribeye and the lobster Mac and cheese. The food was amazing. Steak was made to perfection. Will definitely go back for the food, but the service?!?! Ehnnnn.
