    Nina is a joy as our server and every recommendation of hers was absolutely on point. Her interactions with each guest at the table were personable, fun and refreshing. When one cocktail was discontinued she made it a point to work with us and the bartender to serve something incredible! Try the "proprietary" Cajun ribeye as it was a fine cut with appropriate seasoning cooked perfectly to temp. Desserts were enjoyable and portions were acceptional. We will be requesting Nina as our server next time!

    Just had the most incredible dinner with Nina being our server. She was so smart and knew exactly what each of us wanted. Try the Cajun prime rib. At the end of the meal, she let us know that she had only been working there two days we would’ve never had any idea as she knew the menu perfectly and did an excellent job. Nina‘s service was almost better than the food. Thank you for a memorable evening Nina hope you have many more years of service with Morton’s with your friendliness and accommodating us all for our meal. Thank you again. A+

    I was in Houston on a work trip (I’m from Wisconsin) and stopped into Morton’s Steakhouse — and it turned into one of the best dining experiences I’ve had anywhere in the country. What truly set the night apart was our server, Tara. From the moment we sat down, Tara delivered service that was on a completely different level. She was attentive without hovering, warm and welcoming, and had a personality that genuinely made the night a joy. You could tell right away that she’s passionate about what she does and that she cares deeply about creating a great experience for her guests. She anticipated our needs before we even asked, made thoughtful recommendations, and brought an energy to the table that elevated the entire evening. Servers like Tara are rare — the kind of people who make you remember the experience long after the meal is over. Honestly, Morton’s should recognize her. She absolutely deserves a raise, a shout-out, or whatever the highest level of appreciation is at that company. She made the entire night unforgettable. The food was outstanding, but the service from Tara is what will bring me back next time I’m in Houston.

    Great ambience, service and quality food served. I was surprised that vegetarians have delicious options of seared tofu steak and ravioli. Desserts were also great. Great place for office dinners.

    My experience here was too disappointing not to share. I came for a friend’s birthday dinner and expected Morton’s to deliver the fine dining quality they’re known for. Unfortunately, it was a letdown from start to finish. Food:The steak was bland, overcooked, and oddly topped with crab meat and chopped asparagus ends — yes, the tough woody pieces that should’ve never made it out of the kitchen. The lobster tail was the only redeeming item on the plate. Service:For the prices Morton’s charges, the quality and presentation should’ve been flawless. To make matters worse, our server quoted us one price and charged a higher one on the final bill. When questioned, she acted surprised and went and got the manger who came out and said the price is subject to change. Which would have been fine had our waitress pointed that out from the beginning. The manger only fixed if for 1 check instead of both where the amount wasnt correct! His excuse was hes not able to remove a certain amount of the receipt. What? At a high-end restaurant, transparency and professionalism are the bare minimum. Overall, between the mediocre food, confusion over pricing, and lack of attention to detail, this visit was not worth the hype or the cost. Morton’s needs to do better if they want to justify their prices and reputation. — A disappointed diner who expected elegance, not asparagus scraps.
