It was our first visit. We actually did the restaurant week menu. We had a special celebration for my father's birthday in heaven. We got the pork chops and the salmon with salad and key lime pie and espresso pot de creme.
The salmon was cooked perfectly with a crispy crust. The pork chops needed a little more flavor but it wasn't bad. Our host offered us the lava cake for our celebrant and got us out quickly, as if rushing us out. She forgot the dessert that came with our meal and she just offered to box it for us instead of offering if we wanted to enjoy it at our table.
I had heard that Morton's had some of the best beef in the greater Phoenix area, so I had to come and see it for myself. I was pleasantly surprised.
First of all, I arrived around 5:20 with a party of 6, which eventually turned into a party of 8. Even though we had a reservation for 5:30, we were still seated immediately; which I appreciated very much.
After sitting down, our waitress allowed us a few minutes to look over the wine list, and rest of the menu. She even helped some of our party with picking individual glasses, and offered pairing suggestions with the food menu. She was very helpful to our party for the entirety of our visit.
We ordered our wines and food at the same time. By the time our wine arrived, our party had gone from 6 to 8. In the meantime, we had bread for the table, which in all honesty, was some of the best pre-dinner bread. I dont know what exact kind of bread it was, but they should keep serving it. The food did take a little while to arrive to our table, but that is to be expected with a party of 8. The restaurant had begun to fill up too, by that time, so the long wait was understandable.
The food itself, was terrific. I ordered one of the fillets with 2 sides. This steak was one of the most tender pieces of meat I've ever had. It was cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly, and satiated me just enough. I also got the grilled broccolini and sour cream mashed potatoes - Both of which were delicious and complimented the meal perfectly.
The only thing that hindered the meal was the volume of the restaurant itself. By the time our main course had arrived, it had gotten so loud, that our party practically had to yell at each other to hear anything. It was, in fact, a friday night, but I expected a little bit more of a quiet atmosphere.
Overall, what the restaurant lacked in atmosphere, which was very little, it made up with the food. I thoroughly enjoyed eating here, interacting with the wait-staff, and the decor of the dining area. Id recommend Morton's to somebody who enjoys steak, and isnt afraid to pay a hearty sum for it. If im in the area again in the future, I'll definitely return.
We’ve been a regular at Desert Diamond Casino WT ever since the opening, but have only recently started going to Morton’s. Our favorite bartender that used to work in the casino now works at Morton’s full time. He always has a smile on his face along followed by a warm greeting. We just celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary at Morton’s this weekend. The atmosphere was amazing! Our table in the bar lounge was decorated for our anniversary and there was a live performer singing in the background. You can carry a conversation without having to raise your voice which is important whether it be for special occasions or for conducting business. We also met the general manager Greg who took the time to hear our praise about the bartender that we’ve come to love over the last few years. It’s really the only reason why we chose Morton’s to celebrate our anniversary. The service, cocktails and starters were amazing and the portions were of adequate size. Of course we had to get a medium rare steak filet with blue cheese butter which was cooked to perfection. My wife ordered the lobster bisque which was amazing but a little on the salty side. For dessert, we ordered Tiramisu which was perfect, a glazed layer of crystallized sugar followed by a soft custard underneath. We would definitely recommend Morton’s for special occasions or even if you just go to the bar for drinks and appetizers. Thanks again for the warm hospitality!

We had such a wonderful experience at Morton’s, and a huge part of that was because of our server, Emma! We were there to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and Emma went above and beyond to make the occasion feel special and memorable.
From the moment we were seated, Emma was incredibly kind, polite, pleasant, and attentive. She provided quick, efficient service without ever making us feel rushed. She was also very knowledgeable and informative, taking the time to answer our questions, make recommendations, and make sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal.
What really stood out was how genuinely thoughtful she was throughout the birthday celebration. She helped create such a warm and enjoyable atmosphere and made celebrating him feel really nice and special. Her attention to detail, positive attitude, and genuine hospitality made a big difference in our experience.
Emma is truly an asset to Morton’s. Excellent service, wonderful personality, and such a pleasant experience from start to finish. We left feeling very well taken care of and will absolutely be back!
Thank you, Emma, for helping make my boyfriend’s birthday celebration such a beautiful and memorable experience! 🥩🥂🎂❤️

Great space. Great service. Wonderful guests. Everyone is super friendly. I ordered a medium 8oz filet mignon with wagyu meatball, loaf of bread, spinach in a delicious sauce, and paired it with a chocolate pudding. The filet mignon had a nice flavor with blue cheese butter sauce. The filet mignon was a little tough on the edge of the cut. On the center of the filet it wss juicy but not as exceptional as I would have expected. It was the main entreé but slightly lacking in tenderness. However, the service was outstanding. Great staff, attentive, and a warm environment.
