Really great place, not sure if I would ever come back though it seems just a little to high class for me which I didn't know.
Came here for restaurant week. If you don't know what that is, they have a fixed menu, you pay one fixed price. So for 50 bucks, I got a salad, a cut of filet minon, a baked potato, and a dessert.
First off the atmosphere is really high class. That's what they're going for I guess. I thought a polo would be sufficient but it seemed like most people were dressed up in dress shirts and such.
My server was great though. Gave me recommendations, always filled my ice tea without me even asking, and always checked to make sure that we were doing alright. My only real complaint was just that it the food came out really slow and spaced apart. Bread came, then 10 minutes passed. Then we ordered and 10 minutes passed. Then the salad came and 10 minutes passed. Then the main dishes came and we ate. He realized we were done. 10 minutes went by before the dessert finally came out. overall I think we were there for like 2 hours, luckily I had nothing else to do that night.
The food was pretty good. Onion bread, I def had 2 full loafs. Made fresh to your table. The salad was alright. Not sure if it's worth the 9 dollars it's worth though. My baked potato was pretty big. The filet mignon I had was pretty good. Not the best steak I've ever had but pretty good. Creme brulee was pretty bomb though.
Overall it was a great experience. Even with it being restaurant week, i spent over $100 for 2 people, so make sure you have some mad money if you're coming here for a regular visit. -

I took my bf here on his birthday, and let me tell you, the service was outstanding. I had no idea that they were going to personalize our menus with "Happy Birthday, bf". I had no idea they were going to take a picture of us and put it in a Mortons frame (ok it was just paper, but this was blowing my mind here).
Even as we gave our name for our reservation, the staff were ready for us, and said happy birthday to my bf.
The food: absolutely amazing. And there is no reason why 1 person should eat that much food lol, so we shared (and the bill still made me want to have a heart attack) and I still felt like I might pop at the end of the evening.
We shared the Chicago style bone-in ribeye which is not my favorite cut, but they cooked it perfectly medium rare. Warm in the middle but still bright red. (if this isn't your idea of medium rare, then you are wrong :P) We shared the caesar salad, the crouton was delighful, and the complilmentary hot chocolate cake was delicious!
The service they provided was phenomenal. The waitstaff were never in our face, they knew just when to come over and ask us how were were or if we needed anything. I highly recommend Mortons for anyone who loves steak or superb service. -

My rating is only for service and not food because I haven't eaten there... I was trying to gather materials from someone so I could help assist my friend with wedding plans and parties. It seemed like the most obscure request to ask for a bar menu with prices and 1 week later, I finally got it. Well, kind of late since other restaurants and bars who willingly gave us this info seemed to be more of a fit. I can say that there probably will be no contract signed since the topic seemed to have been glazed over. When I did go there, the staff was friendly... I'd just work on those email skills.

came here for my birthday, the food was great, but the service was even better, didn't even tell them it was my birthday but the waitress checked my ID to make sure I was legal to drink and took note of the date, got a free chocolate soufflé and they insisted on taking a picture and print out the picture for me afterwards, awesome.

Morton's is a Chicago institution. Perhaps it was my fault for eating at the Schaumburg outpost, but my recent visit to Morton's Schaumburg was quite disappointing.
The beginning of the evening was pleasant enough. The onion bread was aromatic and flavorful. The glass of cabernet (the name of vineyard escapes me now) the waiter recommended was full-bodied and steak-friendly. That was about when the positives ended. I got the ribeye medium rare. The steak was cooked as close to medium rare as that piece of steak would have allowed, as it seemed that the steak was not defrosted properly. The overcooked outer crust was quite thick and the inner part was bloody rare. If the steak was near room-temperature when the cooking started, this would not have been the case. Also, even though the steak was somewhat medium rare, it was not tender at all. This was worse than the choice-steak I get at Whole Foods or Costco, let alone prime. I was thoroughly disappointed to say the least.
Before I finished my steak, the waiter came by and recommended the Grand Marnier souffle because it would have taken 20 minutes to bake. This excited me, and I ordered it at once. When it came, the size of this souffle was way too big for one person. What was worse was that the souffle was not risen properly, and the Grand Marnier was very overpowering. If I finished that souffle I would have had an Asian glow - that's how much alcohol there still was in that damn thing! Of course, when the bill came, the souffle was billed at $20 a pop, as it was for two people. I would have appreciated if the waiter mentioned this when recommending it to me. This was egregious.
The decor of the place was pleasant enough - a lot of beige and wood-tone. For the suburbs, this was nice. But the service was woefully amateurish. The waiter had good intentions but was obviously poorly trained. Reciting the specials was like pulling teeth for him. His interaction with me throughout the night was disjointed and awkward. I was a forgiving patron and still tipped him 18%. But this was Applebee's-level service sans the smile.
Morton's Schaumburg is a perfect date-spot for people who don't care about food or service. With tips, I spent over $100 for myself. At this price, the service gaffes and sub-par food were simply unacceptable. -

Service was solid after a rough start and ambiance is great for a quiet, private dinner. Food quality has slipped a bit for what used to be a very solid and relaible brand.

Your meal is started off with a warm round loaf of onion bread. Yum!
For our table of 4 we decided on the scallop and crab cake appetizer. Holy mackerel the one tiny crab cake was almost $20!!! It was good but not worth anywhere near that price. The mustard sauce it came with was bigger then the crab cake.
I got the double cut filet mignon medium. Sadly it didn't make my top 3 favorite filets. It was cooked perfectly but it was extremely bland and didn't really have that melt in your mouth textures most upscale steakhouses do.
I tried a bite of the their signature New York Strip. One of the better strips I had. The chilean sea bass was WONDERFUL but the salsa that was on top kind of ruined the perfectness of the fish.
Sides were mediocre. The balsamic on the asparagus was too much. The mushrooms and onions were amazing and helped bring salt to my steak.
I probably won't be going to Morton's unless someone else is paying. When you're eating a $100 meal you want it to be amazing, Morton's was not amazing.
**They charged $13 for the "complimentary" birthday cake. -

Morton's is like the one you marry after you come to terms with letting go of "the one that got away." Sure, that firecracker was fun, awesome, and incredibly sexy, but for one reason or another, it just wasn't meant to be. But then you find this other person, who has a lot of those things, but on top of all that, dependable, and let's be honest, real.
Yes, I'm that pathetic. I just compared a lifelong relationship to a steakhouse.
I mentioned this in my David Burke's review, but I'll mention it here again. Back in, oh, I dunno, 2006, I went to David Burke's Primehouse for the first time and had the best steak of my life. It was lightyears beyond any steak I've ever had. I went back there again several months after, and the steak was just "ok." Even worse, I went back again about a year afterwards, and all of our steaks were so salty it was almost inedible.
To this day, when people ask for steak suggestions, I still give honorable mention to David Burke's, but I have to say that Morton's is, clearly, the best steak in Chicago.
BONE IN RIBEYE
They absolutely pick the best cuts of meat. The marbling on this steak, every time I've had it, has been so spot on and so evenly distributed. As long as you avoid the edges, obviously, there is never a bite of just pure fat or a tough stubborn strand of cartilage or anything buzzkill like that. Each bite has a thin lace of fat (jeez, seriously, can we have a more elegant way to say "fat"?) that is never overbearing or in the spotlight, but just adds a moist texture to the rest of the steak as well as a buttery boost in both flavor and seasoning. Every time I've had this steak, it's been seasoned perfectly through and through. There is never a dull bite and like I said before, you never fight with your steak.
If you get a cut of meat this big (I think it's 20 oz including bone) you really do need to train yourself, because the gold is near the bone, and you could very well end up too full before you get there. I'm a "save the best for last" kinda guy, so I'll dodge the meat by the bone until the very end. When you get there, you do lose a little bit of seasoning, but the extra flavor is there to take the load. Again, the hard part is really having room to get there.
MORTON'S SALAD
This salad is just nothing short of perfection. It looks completely unassuming, because it's just lettuce, blue cheese dressing, chopped eggs, and 2 anchovies. Yes, I said anchovies. The stuff even Ninja Turtles won't eat! When I ordered it, they made sure to ask if I wanted the anchovies. Considering you can just take 'em off, I said why not. The salad sans anchovies is still delicious, the dressing isn't too salty, and every leaf of lettuce is coated perfectly. But when you add a small piece (like the size of a Tylenol gelcap) of anchovie (remember they're super salty), it explodes this extra flavor and saltiness to your salad. Very light fish taste, well, obviously, but it opened my eyes. From now on, I'm going to start ordering anchovies on salads...maybe not so much on pizza, though.
SOUPS & SIDES
Lobster Bisque was excellent. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly creamy. I don't know how hard it is to make Lobster Bisque, but no matter where I've had it, it's always been good, so, go figure. The other sides are good, but even at an 8/10 score, they're just sides. They exist to stop your tongue from getting too accustomed to the steak to where it ignores tastes. I suppose wine does that too, but you get the idea. Not sure what a 10/10 side would taste like, but when I find one, I'll let you know.
BOTTOM LINE
I've been to Morton's close to a dozen times now. I might get a different wine every time, but generally, my menu stays the same. I typically go with a group of 3, so steak, salds, sides, and wine, it ends up being about $80-100/person (which includes tax/tip) with a $70 bottle of wine. This is my go to Steakhouse. -

I'm probably going to be in the minority here, but I can only give this place 3 stars. Is it good? ABSOLUTELY. Is it better than the rest? Not quite.
I'm a steak snob, so take this with a grain of salt.. or some A1 if you prefer. Basically, the way I judge steakhouses is by what I can remember after a month. If something was really good, I'm going to remember. If not, it probably wasn't worth it. With Morton's, I can't really remember much. I do remember the service being great though.
I was so excited to go there, especially after all the 5-star reviews and all those in-flight magazine ads. But I left a little disappointed. Sure, the steak was good (from what I can remember of it), but it definitely wasn't as good as I'd hoped.
For example, Sullivans in Naperville has great steaks. The Delmonico @ Capital Grill is awesome. Murray's in Minneapolis - superb. And Carne Vino in Vegas - divine!! I was hoping Morton's was in the same league, especially since the prices are.
I haven't tried the Chop House or Maestro's, so I can't compare it to others in close proximity, but overall if you you want a "good" steak, go here. If you want a GREAT steak, you might need to venture elsewhere. -

Ohhh Mooooorton's what did you do to me that I like your Steaks so much??
- Is it that my Steak was cooked right the way I like it, juicy with a little crust and some blood running out?
- or because of our server Andrew, who cares about his customer and treats them like a King.
- or because of the chocolate Souffle that makes you feel like you are in chocolate heaven and makes you almost lick the whole plate becasue that's how good it is?
- or the numerous Sambucca/Baileys I had?
No matter what it is, it was just good!!!
Bon appetite -

One of the first restaurants we visited a year ago when we considered moving here, and between Morton's and Custom House, we felt very welcomed and were impressed with all the friendly service. Met people for happy hour a couple weeks ago, ended up staying for a late dinner, and we couldn't have been happier. Again.
The bar area is really nice and comfortable, and you can get appetizers to soak up the alcohol. Nice bartender. Liked the chicken fingers. On to dinner. I LOVE the onion-y dome of fresh bread. Solid, tasty, perfectly rare steaks with very nice sides - the asparagus with balsamic reduction is very yummy. Ever sooooo slightly on the tough side, but very flavorful. Great service - he never rushed us for the late hour, and never condescended to my pretty little buzzed self. When I ordered dessert and said I could only take a few bites but wanted it to go, he already had it split in half and packaged before it even got to our table. Now THAT'S service. -

Went here last night with my wife and had a really good meal. They had a great deal (surf and turf for 2 for $110). I had a Caesar salad, substitute the fillet with a NY strip, creamed spinach and key lime pie for dessert. My wife had the salad, fillet, garlic mashed potatoes and the creme brulee. Of course you end up paying more once you upgrade and add drinks. We had a great server (Ed) who was on his game.

Steak and Wine...YES PLEASE!!!
Put it this way, if you want a delicious combo of steak and seafood come to Morton's. The service was impeccable. The server was very knowledgeable with wine pairings and with the menu items. The steak was ordered medium well with mashed potatoes and scallops. Although I'm not a huge scallop fan, i would have to admit that these were quite delicious.
Although a bit on the pricey side, you're paying for what you get and what you deserve: Steak, wine, and class =) -
Review from Ling L.

Morton's is one of the steak houses that I've been afraid of the price tag for the longest time. But it's also one of those legendary restaurants that most people claim you got to go at least once in your lifetime.
Is it truly worth the average $35 for a steak? Are the clientele and servers uppercrust and snobbish? Can it compare to the Kansas City strongholds I'm used to?
After debating other cheaper options the other night., it was on a whim that the husband decided to go there (no special occasion whatsoever, or it could be I recently lost my entire purse and valuable documents in it and having such lousy stetches of weeks. he won't tell) . We passed by it constantly, but he kept asking where it was, and I was disbelieving his intents the entire time until we turned onto the road leading towards it.
The interesting thing upon walking to the front door is it looked liked the back door. No revolving doors, no glass windows, just a nondescript one-person entry door that led you to a tiny room that led you to the bar/reception.
Inside, it harkens to the ubiquitous "Sinatra-esque" feel -- low ceilings, low lighting, leather-covered booths, and servers in long white waist-aprons.
We were introduced to a platter of cuts, actual size, and given a generous and scrumptious onion bread and a big slab of cold butter.
We settled on the Filet Diane and ribeye, a la carte sides of broccoli and mashed potatoes, lobster bisque and their 30-minute upside down apple pie.
The lobster bisque ($13) was a smooth blend with a fleshy piece of lobster. Although we enjoyed it, we felt the sweetness of the brandy was too intense and made for the last few spoonfuls a little unbearable.
The mashed potatoes was a superb buttery-creamy with tiny chunks of potatoes. Alas, the broccoli was still a little bland and al dente. Not our favorite preparation.
The Filet (Mignon) Diane was cooked to medium perfection. If I should return, I'm ordering the filet in itself without the Diane sauce, though while good, like the brandy in the bisque, ultimately overpowered the original flavor of the steak.
We've had better ribeyes. It was unevenly cooked, and lacked the juiciness.
The upside-down apple pie was a welcome respite from the cold winds and constant drizzle that night. Delicately spiced and warm, it was a great finish.
The service was splendid, the food was good, and not being drinkers, we left with a tab + tips $160 poorer. Now it begs the question -- is it worth it? My answer: it doesn't have to be THAT expensive. But we've done it. -

First thing I noticed: the plain, boring doors you enter through. Apparently, they've always done it like that. The restaurant itself is pretty small, but it also boasts a banquet room in the back.
My date and I chose to eat at the bar. First I started with a French martini. Very good...raspberry-lemon-y. We had the two-for-$99 special. We each got a salad (Anchovies come on it, I guess?), a vegetable (We got asparagus), a potato (We got skins), steak and something fishy. I got scallops, which were wrapped in bacon and came with a mango chutney sauce. Whoa, so good! My favorite part of my meal.
To round it out, we got a desert: Grand Marnier souffle. The best part is the whipped cream, which has an orange flavor.
If you want expensive steak and are tired of Outback or Lone Star, come here. A splurge to be sure, but it is very tasty and fills you up. -

I'm with a group of people and we're all staying in the hotel next store to Mortons. I know after work where I'm going and I know that no one else is thinking about Mortons (except me).
I'm saving my calories and carbs for dinner. Everyone all day, Pizza for lunch? I'll have a small salad. When the work day is done, everyone is like where should we go to eat? Any ideas? I said lets try the place next to the hotel? (heh heh)
I didn't want to break the bank so I ordered my standard fare, Single Cut Filet Mignon, creamed spinach and center cut iceberg. This is really a fantastic meal that is not too expensive.
I slip this "expense" under the wire and the red baron looks to fly another day!

I took 6 business associates to dinner here recently. I have no problem paying for $50 steaks but I do have a problem paying $14 for Lobster Bisque soup or $10 for French Onion soup. Or, $10 for 12 berries and some cream for desert. Its interesting how they do not list prices on the Soups or Deserts on the menu. The nickel and diming was excessive and really padded the tab.
I didn't care for the seating either right next to the grill and its extremely loud. Hard to have business conversations. If your looking to close a deal or better a business relationship go somewhere else.
Service was Mediocre. I didn't feel it was as polished or attentive as I've gotten at other steak houses and very unpersonalized. I think we had about 15 people serving us our various dishes throughout the night. Especially since my bill was over $1000 I expected better service.
Parking was stupid too, the valet had orange cones though out the entire parking lot. Sorry but Im not paying $4 to park my car when I could do it myself and walk 20 ft to the front door. Its Schaumburg not the city.
Positives: Steak was excellent and the Oysters were excellent. Food overall very good. I just didn't like the excessive nickel and diming on stupid stuff like french fries costing $9.
Overall don't waste your time with Mortons in Schaumburg. Go to Gibsons in Rosemont if you want a really good experience.
I would recommend it for the $49 deal that was mentioned in the other reviews. Unfortunately our waiter never informed me of that deal. -

OK, I am a steak snob..I will start off with that. I was really looking forward to a really good juicy medium rare steak...we drove an hour to get here. Service was slow, but it was a Saturday night so it is what it is...even though the table waited on by the other server seemed to get food and drinks much quicker than ours.
I ordered rare/medium rare double fillet (I always get the biggest just to make sure it's not overcooked in the middle) and my husband ordered medium New York Strip. I was very specific that I wanted it more on the rare side than medium, which i know the waitress did not like, but hey, I really love my steak a certain way. His came out medium rare in the middle and charred on the outside. Unfortunately, I got a very dry medium. I would have sent my steak back but she didn't check on us right away and my husband was 3/4 done with his by the time she finally did. The manager did come by and offer to return it, but by this time I had choked down half of the dry meat.
We were in the back room and it was very hard to hear each other...we had to speak very loudly or not at all. Definitely not an intimate dinner for two kind of place.
We ABSOLUTELY were not offered the deal, which would have been nice with dinner for 2 coming out to over $240.
I won't return to this location...it was a huge disappointment. -

This is your upscale, classy, fine dining where you have 2-3 different servers serving you with white gloves. Famous for their Steaks, but being the rebel that I am, I ordered their Maine Lobster Tail (which was magnificent btw!). If you're a sweet-tooth like me, make sure to order their Morton's Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake. FYI, need to order this dessert 45 minutes in advance..Yes, it's THAT good and I would say "Worth the Wait" but you are not waiting since you're eating your dinner while they make it for you. ;-)

My review of Morton's has to be taken with two grains of salt:
1) I do not eat red meat. On this particular evening I indulged on a meal of crustaceans.
2) The rating scale with which I am grading my experience at Morton's is weighted by the pretty penny paid for the meal. That said, this restaurant is SO far out of our price range. We were lured here by a gift certificate we had recieved.
There are a few ways you can go about dining at Morton's on a budget. If you eat in the bar, their appetizers/bar food is super affordable. And given that it's Morton's, these menu items are lightyears beyond "bar food." Furthermore, they have some $5 glasses of wine in the bar. They're not the best wine, but that price is hard to beat anywhere--let alone at a fancy steakhouse.
If you mosey over to the restaurant side, you'll be hard pressed to find a deal. While there are some tasty combination packages, you'll still end up spending a ton of money once you get an eyeful of what they bring out on the cart.
All in all, the service was super and the food was great...I'm just pretty sure we won't be back due to the hefty price tag. But if you want to impress the hell out of somebody, head on over to Morton's, -

After what the markets have been going through it's a wonder anyone can still afford to eat here. The food is very good with the exception of the warm chocolate cake which was dry.
We had the "special" which was a combo of salad, steak (rib-eye for me), asparagus, lobster tail, and a Caesar salad, bone-in fillet and we shared the warm chocolate cake (which was comped for our anniversary). We also each had 1 cocktail each and the bill came to $230.00 with gratuity - WOO! Kind of pricey for steak!
I must say though that they did give us personalized menus and a photo to commemorate the occasion. Nice touch. -

It has been a while since I have been to Morton's. I have not been to one since I started my yelp account, but I have been plenty of times. I used to get the filet, which was pretty good, but I ordered the cajun ribeye once and it was by far the best steak I ever had. The only problem is I do not like any fat on my steak. Save your, "Fat is what gives the steak flavor" comments. You like what you like and I like what I like. The waiter told me that in the future when I make reservations I should ask to have a filet marinated in the cajun seasoning they use. I have been doing that ever since he said that. Wow!!!!!! It was amazing!!!!! I always tell people to go to Morton's, but call at least the night before and request the cajun filet. They do not have the cajun filet on the menu, so you have to let them know you want it at least the night before so they can marinade it for you.

Dinner at Morton's last night with a dear friend. Started off with a pleasant "glad to see you" welcome from the General Manager. After being seated, the Captain welcomed us and offered to take our drink order. Dirty martinis were gently placed in front of us just about the time our server introduced himself and asked if there was any special occasion tonight? - nice touch. Soon we were introduced to a presentation of Morton's selection of meats, fish and sides and politely asked if we had any questions and would give us a minute to decide. After an appropriate time, we decided our meal selections and our waiter appeared as thought he was also aware. We ordered our meals and a bottle of wine. Steaks and seafood were prepared to perfection, (rare plus for the NY strip). The server was good at keeping a nice slow pace that we could enjoy each others company while still savoring our meal selections. In all, this was a great experience at the Schaumburg Morton's restaurant and would highly recommend this location to anyone for business or good friends to enjoy. This is a perfect restaurant for the discerning foodie who appreciates good wine, steaks and attentive staff, (and have some fun too).

I've had better steak at a better price in better surroundings. They have a great reputation, but it is time to move beyond that. The wait staff seemed less than enthused to be taking care of customers and that was a definite disappointment. The setting was small, but did not seem intimate. A nice place to impress, but not a place to go to time and time again.

Classy restaurant impeccable service. It's a relief to know some restaurants still adhere to fine dining and pleasing the customer to provide a class A dining experience. The steak is quality however I noticed that when you get the special 2 for $99 the steak is different a lower grade perhaps. This is an expensive restaurant if you want steak and want to stay in the suburbs this is a good choice. If you want to drive to the city you can go to Lawry's pay less or equal and have a finer dining experience on every level.

I was very disappointed in my experience at Mortons in Schaumburg when I took my mom for her birthday dinner. We had an 8:30 reservation on a Tuesday evening which was a very quiet night. We enjoyed a finely prepared meal, the staff sang and delivered dessert all of which added to a very enchanted evening. Suddenly the music went off and the kitchen came alive with every crashing dish available. I felt like was at a diner. We were one of two tables left and the other table had just one guest. That was the big signal to eat your cake and leave which was what he did. It was only 10:35 and very inappropriate and inconsiderate. Not the experience I expected after a $200 dinner. I was surprised the vacuum didn't come out before the lights went out. Wow! We get much better treatment at the Mortons in Orlando...time to go home.

My family has eaten at Morton's for almost 15yrs! It's one of my favorite steak houses. I love their filets and shrimp alexander. After all these years, the food still remains the same; however, the service has gotten worst. Hence, the 4 star rating instead of 5. I've been very disappointed in the service these past few years, and we've not gone as much. Hopefully, they will get better because I would hate to not be going back after all these years.

bored with sizzler, outback or chilis steak and want to try upper crust steak house? bring your fat wallet and be prepared to spend a bundle. dont expect reasonable rates. you want a damn good steak well you better be prepared to fork over some damn good money.
i wanted a steak while i was in chicago, in fact i was craving it but i didnt want to spend a mint and so that was my only drawback to my mortons experience. i wasnt familiar with the menu but i did get some feedback from people at the hotel that said there wqas a great steak house up the street where i was staying.
so off to mortons we went.
mortons decor was very comfortable and cozy, great for celebrating events and anniversaries. this isnt a place one would take a casual date as the fare and prices are very close to higher end dining.
the service and attention were more than exemplary yes the steak was excellent, cooked to perfection. tender to the touch and melted with flavor with each bite i took but as some other reviewer mentioned, it didnt have to be that expensive.
total bill- with their medium priced steak plate aka filet minon only (didnt come with sides), my date's salad (she wasnt hungry) and 3 glasses of wine? 120 dollars. -

This is the model, what fine dining should be. Order was correct, wait staff pleasant and accurate, portion sizes were unbelievable! I would recommend for someone you need to impress.

I've been to Morton's before. It's very pricey but the food is usually outstanding and so is the service. I don't like that the portions of some things (like the baked potato) are ridiculously large. And I'm not real picky on my wine but once I had to send back two different wines (by the glass) before I could even half-like what I was drinking. That's just probably me and my dislike for wines with a prune aftertaste.
Having said all that, my husband and I went there for our anniversary, and when they presented us with the menu it was printed up special for us with our names at the top wishing us a happy anniversary, which I thought was outstanding! Then it wasn't too much longer when the maitre d came by and asked us if we wanted to move to another (quiet) room and I wholeheartedly said yes! My husband and I had a wonderful evening talking to each other and that wouldn't have come about if it weren't for the Maitre d moving us because it can get quite noisy in there.
The wine (by the bottle) we had was wonderful and our food was...the fact that I can't remember what I had (it was back in May) tells me there was nothing wrong but it was just short of excellent.
I did appreciate the fact that they do have a dress code. I'm sick of seeing shorts and flip-flops at an expensive restaurant on a Saturday night. Thank you Morton's! -
