Great place for an exceptional steak! My husband had the shrimp cocktail and the 14oz. Wagu ribeye (medium) and I had the dry aged ribeye (medium-rare). The complimentary bread before the meal is addictive, so pace yourself or you won't have room for the main course! Same with the Parmesan & Truffle Matchstick Fries - you get more then enough to share with several people They were wonderful and the broccolini was cooked perfectly.The cocktails and wine selection was top notch and it was rather quiet that night (mainly because maybe folks were heading out of the city to visit family for Thanksgiving...), which made the meal even better. The server was great and she treated us especially well because we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. She comped our dessert, took a photo of us and placed it in a folder commerating the night. Very sweet! It's a great date night spot and easily can accomodate a large family or group. It was a great experience and we look forward to returning next time we visit the Big Apple!

A first timer to Morton’s- I came here for dinner on NYE and let me tell you… you NEED to come here and get the King Crab whipped mash potatoes like wow literally out of this world. Service was great, food was great, drinks were great, would definitely come back!

Disappointed in the staff at Morton's, I'm in NYC for Christmas. We decided last minute to eat here, we walked in and was told there were no tables available and couldn't take reservations. I walked out and was able to make reservations. I walked back in the restaurant and was able to get seated at a hightop table. We sat there for a good while before our waitress showed up, she took our drink order which I asked for an ice tea and she brought us hot tea. I kindly ask for an ice tea and with an attitude she says "I asked you and you said hot". We got up to leave but stop to talk to manager which he made no effort to make it right on Christmas. We ended up eating a mom/pop restaurant down the street and was treated with kindness. Thank you Za Za for making our Christmas special 🎄

We went to Morton’s for our anniversary, and everything was truly wonderful from start to finish. We were greeted with genuine smiles, and when we were seated, our table was beautifully decorated for the occasion. We were even given a sweet card wishing us a happy anniversary, which made the night feel extra special and truly appreciated.
Our server, Betsy, was incredibly attentive - she answered every question with precision and offered excellent recommendations. The food was outstanding, especially the shrimp cocktail, Caesar salad, and the A5 Wagyu, which is an absolute must. The Wagyu was perfectly marbled, rich and fatty, and melted right on the tongue with incredible depth of flavor. The lobster I had was crunchy on the outside, juicy inside, and seasoned to perfection. The drinks were just as impressive, and the presentation of everything was remarkable.
The ambiance was warm, cozy, and intimate - exactly what we were hoping for on an anniversary night. The only minor downside was that the steaks came out slightly undercooked, but they were still delicious nonetheless. To top it all off, the restaurant surprised us with a chocolate lava cake sundae for our anniversary, and it was absolutely remarkable - we couldn’t leave a single bite behind. The menu itself was beautifully presented, with detailed descriptions and plenty of eye - catching options. It it hadn’t just been the two of us, we definitely would have ordered much more.
Thank you Morton's for creating a memorable experience for us :)

Our waiter was awesome and the drinks were flowing. The food was terrible. Worst crispy rice of my life. It was frozen. I sent it back. The chef double downed and said that’s how it should taste. One filet mignon was overcooked and tasted like dog food. The ribeye was good. Not sure how this place has 4.5 stars.
