3.5 stars! If I rated Morton’s last year I would of rated it 4 stars, but this year the side dishes were all disappointing! The main dishes steaks, seafood, and desserts were all excellent! I’m all about the side dishes when I go to a steakhouse that’s why I’m rating Morton’s 3.5. The onion bread they start you with is so DELICIOUS! For appetizers the shrimp cocktail was excellent, but the Caesar salad was Terrible! They need to make a better Caesar dressing. For main courses we had filet mignon, a lobster tail, and Chilean sea bass. All were excellent! For side dishes we had the creamed corn, fries, and lobster Mac and cheese. The creamed corn was HORRIBLE! It wasn’t creamy at all, and the corn was all chopped up in this awful tasting liquid! The lobster Mac and cheese was bland and had no cheese flavor! The fries were ok, but needed more seasoning. They were too thin for taste. Last year we had a corn casserole that was good, but this year it was replaced by the creamed corn. For dessert we had the carrot cake that’s was FANTASTIC! It was the best carrot cake we ever had! The upside apple pie was very good! Last year we had the sticky toffee pudding which was also excellent, but the cheesecake was just ok. Our waitress Dianne was excellent. If they can improve their side dishes I’d definitely come back because everything else was great!

Booked a private dining room for my fiancée’s 45th birthday on Friday! It was simply amazing! Marina, the sales manager was super responsive, attentive to details and made sure we got what we needed. The wait staff was exceptional. Yolanda, Brandon and Anthony ensured that everyone was taken care of. It was my first time at this Mortons and I would visit again!

First time at Morton’s and it did not disappoint. From the initial onion bread, to the meatball appetizer to the tender, delicious short ribs dinner over mash potatoes and the lobster Mac and cheese and banana bread pudding cake, it was all amazing. Also, the service is solid . We will be back.

I had a business lunch at this place, and I would highly suggest it. This restaurant is located in a mall with plenty of parking. The restaurant atmosphere is really nice, the table arrangements are well-organized, and the service is extremely friendly. Our waitress' name was Faith, and she was really pleasant. The cuisine is wonderful. I ordered a 16 oz ribeye steak with corn on truffle sauce, and everything was delicious. I would definitely come back.

The experience overall was subpar for a steakhouse. Their steaks were not memorable at all. We in fact took the steaks home and disposed of them. We ordered the grand ocean platter and the seafood was mostly overcooked. The servers are poorly trained and disheveled. Several of their waiters bumped into my chair at least on three occasions. It was incredibly noisy in their main room and they were pumping louder music out of their sound system. It settled down a bit as the night progressed, but for a nearly $800 service for 4, this will be on the bottom of the list as a go to.

Absolutely terrific experience all around. It's an understatement how much we done to celebrate my wife's birthday. Her name was printed on the menu, everyone wished her happy birthday, our picture was taken, printed in a post card that was freely given to us. And even a complimentary dessert. Our server Julio was very friendly, kind, and always attended to our requests. Really impressed at the amazing service he offered us. The experience then continued at home when we received a gratitude email from the restaurant. Overall, I highly recommend. This location takes service, food, and experience to the highest level.

Food was really good. Steak, lobster, cream of spinach.. all great. “Jayce’s” service however.. was terrible. Every time he was asked for something he rolled his eyes. At an establishment like this.. your answer is always “yes, no problem, of course.” The last thing I asked him for he literally just turned around and didn’t acknowledge what was said. He’s lucky he even got a tip. Definitely needs to be advised to give better service. I wouldn’t go back to this location solely from his rude and negligent service.
