    Had a wonderful time at an event they threw and it was truly so fun. Staff was particularly impressive and like old friends by the end of the event. Very thorough care and fabulous food and drinks. Decor was great and atmosphere was lively. Couldn’t have had a better time!!! Even the Valet was a top notch compliment and had a lot and very appreciated check ins and interactions with the manager.

    We have just moved out to Surprise a few months ago and are visiting the various venues and restuarants in the area. My wife threw me a surprise birthday party for about 20 people there. Morton's did not disappoint. We were on the patio with beautiful weather. Working with Kaylee, my wife picked about 15 items from the menu for apps and mains. Let me tell you, it was phenomenal! I could not try all of the apps, nor all of the mains but the guests were floored. We went back with just a party of three a few weeks later because it was so good. The staff remembered us and it was another wonderful experience. From the Filet to the Lobster Bisque to the Lobster Ravioli...I can't rave enough. I'm a cook and I can usually be on par with most restaurants. Not Morton's. They blew me away. One issue for me. Being in Surprise, I was glad to see this was more than a T-shirt and shorts place. They have a defined dress code on their website. They had a wedding proposal on the table next to us. Yet, there were people coming in with swim trunks, flip-flops and T-shirts. In Arizona, that's all OK. When looking for something a little more than that, you want Morton's. However, it was not enforced. I know it's hard to say "No", especially when you are in a Casino, but it was a bit disappointing. We'll never stop going back, and we now have some relatives from Colorado that are looking to Morton's as their next venue. Bravo, Morton's!

    Well I guess this may come off as complaining but it was our experience. But I took my wife here for our anniversary. Atmosphere was great, they had live music that was cool. Service was outstanding and so was most of food. I didnt say anything because i didnt want to ruin night, but I ordered the 12oz filet med and I thought it was more rare and that made it kinda chewy. I didnt say anything because i didnt want to send back and than they over cook it. So i delt with it (shouldnt have to deal with a 70$ steak) it should have been perfect. Other than that food was awesome. I wasn't expecting to have to walk through garage or casino. I wish they had parking for restaurant. The manager never approached our table we seen him walking to others but never ours. Last thing I didnt get was all staff was wearing long professional shirts (almost suit atire) but the hostess were wearing sleeveless spaghetti strap shirts. And that wasn't the vibe/standard I expected from this restaurant. All and all I would go back

    I can't speak to the food as we were never seated for our reservation. We made it several days prior to Saturday the 18th. We arrived at 5:30 for our 5:45 reservation. Checked in with the Hostess and she acknowedged our time and booth request. Several people arrived after us, including another couple who also had a 5:45. As time passed everyone was seated except us. The hostess made eye contact and realized that we hadn't been seated and said I'm sorry but the only booth left is in the bar. The restaurant overall was very loud because of this bar and I believe it wouldn't have mattered where we were seated, the noise level would not afford one a relaxing dining experience. We were very disappointed and decided to leave. We were celebrating our 24th Wedding anniversary. Aside from the Hostess' oversite, the very hectic, very loud atmosphere is not worth a $200+ meal and drinks. Won't be back at this location nor any other Mortons. No need for the management to repond with their generic statement about improving as this venue is too loud with too many bad reviews for any future investment from us.
