    Can’t thank you all enough. We missed an anniversary dinner altogether on NYE. We were delighted you could seat us early tonight and thank you for treating us so well! The food was delicious - waitress and bar tender super attentive. Keep the scallops and lobster risotto on the menu! Wow so delicious 😍

    I have been to many steak houses. I was very pleased with my experience at Mortons. To sum things up, they did everything you expect from a steakhouse. I was there to celebrate my mom and they did everything to make the experience feel special. Honestly, I have been disappointed in some recent experiences, so I was just pleased that this steakhouse did all the things you expect-- both big and small, right. It was a great experience, I will be back. Prior to the reservation, I requested a particular table, and custom menus. They called me prior to my reservation to make sure everything was correct. The server Cinco was attentive and knowledge about the menu. He provided great service throughout the experience. He made sure to the gift wrap the menus. He offered great recommendations from the menu. The food was great. I got the Wagyu steak. It was cooked perfectly. All the apps were good as well.

    Food was excellent. We were there at 3pm on a Saturday and there was only one server in the entire restaurant. He was dealing with impatient people, being double and triple-sat multiple times while we were there, and 10+ tables all on his own. So, overall, the service was slow. But, given the circumstances, our server deserves a medal! He was friendly, upbeat, and as attentive as humanly possible with more than 10 tables on his own.
