Morton's never disappoints. We had a great time celebrating our oldest son's 20th birthday. He chose to come back to Morton's for another birthday. The food was delicious. We will return.

Delicious food. Our server was great, offering good recommendations to my sister who was indecisive about what to order. Our server was attentive, cheerful and friendly. Only criticism is the very small size of the cole slaw served with the fish & chips.

This was our first visit. The raw oysters were great and so were the Oysters Rockefeller. Those were the best we have ever had. Highly recommended. The hushpuppies were great. The fish sandwich was huge and tasty. Our server, Constance, was very helpful and attentive. She made our dining experience very pleasant and enjoyable. We will definitely return soon.
