The food here is always great. Of all the major high end steak houses I have always like Morton’s the best. The ribeye is always charred perfectly!
Great place for a great burger that's cooked to perfection and packed for the ride home (if only I had one)!

We had our annual business meeting dinner here for the 10th year in a row! Our group size was 15 people! The service and food were fantastic! Thanks to Josh the GM and Brandi the Event Coordinator for having us again. Special thanks to Kenny(Manager) and his staff: Tony, Oscar Joaquin, Omar, and Stevie for taking care of us. We have already booked again for next year.

I’m not one to complain, I would suggest to anyone before posting a negative review, always try to take care of it before it gets to this! Well I did that here at Mortons .My wife and I are on vacation in Palm Desert and we usually treat our selves to a high end steak house . it’s certainly a treat! At arrival everything was great, the greeting the waiting and so on. We ordered lobster bisque and the waiter was nice enough to split the soup in two separate cups for my wife and I. We then ordered a steak & lobster & steak oscar, my steak came & it looked like a hockey puck! I like my steak medium, there was zero pink I asked for the manager and he came and couldn’t believe what was on my plate, they made me another steak, but what sucked is I ate my lobster tail before my steak that’s not what I’m paying the big bucks to do. We got the bill and there was no discount on our bill, they charged us full price, I asked our server to see the manager. At least five minutes later, the waiter tapped me on the shoulder and said I’m only the messenger. We waited another 10 minutes and no manager arrived. Unfortunately, the waiter paid for this because I did not leave a tip. I’m a very Generous tipper I usually put between 18 and 20%. Unfortunately, I have to do this because I did not feel that I was treated to the full experience that I would expect to get from Morton’s steakhouse. I really hope that people don’t have this experience, but I will never be back there and to be honest I don’t know I’ll ever pay that much money for a steak again because it’s certainly not what it used to be
