Morton's The Steakhouse

Nice for special occasions or business dinners. The fish is just as good as the steaks. We tried one of every side dish and they were all delicious, especially the creamed corn and truffle fries, but the lobster mac n cheese was the table favorite. Then, for dessert, the bananas foster cheesecake was so delightful that we ordered a 2nd one!

It is very dark, too dark for my liking. But the food was good and the servers were attentive. Parking is awful valet is the only way to go here.

Danny was great (little over the top), food was good.

Food and service was excellent. The ambiance lighting was alittle too dim for my liking. Increase the lighting by 15% more brighter would be most ideal. IMO.

My husband and I went to Morton 's for a change because of DineLA Restaurant Week. Turned out to be more expensive and not as good as both Flemings and Ruth 's Chris, so I doubt we 'll go back. We were shown to our table and the hostess put two menus on the table, which turned out to be a cocktail menu and the wine list. No food menu. Our waiter came and asked if we 'd chosen wine ! How do you know what wine you want if you 've not yet even seen the menu? I don 't drink and my husband always has steak, so in our case it didn 't really matter. The selections were absurdly expensive. I didn 't look at it myself but I think my husband said he refuses to pay $19 for a GLASS of wine, which must have been the cheapest. So he chose the cheapest bottle $50 instead. The waiter asked what water we wanted then disappeared. Granted, he didn 't know that I don 't drink alcohol, but he didn 't ask me if I wanted anything. When he returned, I had to ask for the food menu and for a soda. He returned with only the standard food menu then disappeared again. When he returned I had to ask for the Restaurant Week menu which eventually arrived. We made our selections, me off that menu and my husband off the standard menu as he didn 't want an appetizer and I don 't eat dessert special menu included appetizer, entree, side and dessert . So I ordered the prosciutto mozzarella wraps, pork chop, garlic green beans and key lime pie for $65. Hubby ordered the New York strip and spinach with button mushrooms. Those together came to around $80. The food The appetizer was delicious. Not really what I had expected and most flavorful. Pork chop was good. Very big and nicely charred on the outside but moist within. I took over half of it home. Garlic green beans didn 't seem very garlicky to me. Like at all. Not much flavor to them. NY strip was just okay. Nothing special. Tender, but not amazing flavor. Spinach and 'button ' mushrooms were tasty, but the buttons must have come off a giant 's coat as they were rather large mushrooms! The key lime was taken home and was nice enough, but nothing special. The first wine selected wasn 't available, so he had to choose another. Was nice enough for a $15 bottle, but it cost $50. Overall, service was ok, pleasant wait staff, but what 's with the whole 'blood out of a stone ' menu thing? In my opinion, you get very much more for your money at both Flemings and Ruth 's Chris. In particular, the Tomahawk at Flemings and the Filet at Ruth 's. And their wines are much more affordable. And they give you the menu immediately!
