Prices:
Prices are pretty high, at least $31 for a basic entree. But it is well worth it!

Service:
Service is pretty amazing. The staff is attentive and friendly, and I feel very comfortable and special when I dine here. They are eager to help and make you happy, but aren't annoying. They are especially friendly if you are there to celebrate a birthday or an anniversary, and drinks are filled and refilled promptly, without having to ask.

Memorable evenings are one of their specialties. :)

Food & Menu:
Morton's knows where to find the best quality steaks possible, and that is all they serve. Not only that, but each steak is served exactly how you like it, and is served promptly and quickly.

With as much, if not more, seafood on their menu as there is steak, it better be good. And it is. The appetizer section of the menu is filled with delicious and zesty sea food variations. A tip, don't fill up on appetizers! This is very hard to achieve, as everything on the appetizer list is likely to leave you begging for more.

With endless variations of steak and endless ways to cook their steaks, the possibilities are endless. From juicy chicken, flaky tuna, plump crab cakes and luscious lamb chops, the food on Morton's menu will never fail to satisfy.

Even the macaroni and cheese, creamed spinach and sauteed mushrooms are delectable and mouth-watering!

Specialties and My Favorites:
Their #1 special is the 24 oz. porterhouse steak. Serious inquiries only! This steak is huge, juicy and made just the way you like it. Bring a couple of friends to help you out, an extremely big appetite, or be ready to eat that steak for 2-3 days after you leave Morton's.

The Sesame Encrusted Yellow fin Tuna is also amazing, but only order this if you really like sesame! This tuna is grilled to perfection, flaky in all the right places and juicy in all the right ways. Sesame only makes this dish taste even better! I never would have guessed sesame would pair so well with tuna.

But my very favorite dish from Morton's is the Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes with the Colossal Shrimp Alexander. Everyone who knows me knows my love for anything and everything shellfish, especially crab and shrimp. This dish makes me want to take the Chef home in my pocket and force him to make this for me a few times a week. I order these 2 together, with help from my boyfriend, every time I venture into Morton's.

Aside from the prices, Morton's gets a 5 star rating from me. Service, atmosphere, food and location are all factors, and amazing ones at that.
