With Morton's being considered one of the premier steakhouses in the area, I was very excited to dine there. The experience started off wonderfully. The hostess greeted us as soon as we walked through the door, and we were seated within seconds. When making the reservation, I had mentioned that it was date night, and I appreciated the thoughtful touch of heart-shaped confetti sprinkled on our table.
Our waiter, Mark, was outstanding. He answered all of our questions, was knowledgeable, funny, and attentive throughout the evening. His excellent service was one of the highlights of our visit.
We were initially a little confused by the menu because we wanted to take advantage of a special three-course meal being offered for $69, but it wasn't listed on the regular menu. Once I mentioned it to Mark, he quickly explained that it was a separate offering and brought us the appropriate menu.
For my meal, I ordered the French onion soup, a center-cut filet mignon with Shrimp Alexander, and key lime pie for dessert. My husband ordered a Caesar salad, a center-cut filet mignon upgraded to a larger cut, bacon-wrapped scallops, and the hot chocolate cake. We also shared an order of smoked Gouda and bacon au gratin potatoes.
One piece of advice: say yes when they offer the bread and butter. It was some of the best restaurant bread I've had in a long time. The bread comes from The French Bakery, is delivered fresh daily, and is finished in Morton's ovens before being served. Topped with toasted onions, it was light, fluffy, and absolutely delicious.
Most of the food was excellent. The French onion soup was rich and flavorful with a perfect crust of melted cheese on top. The bacon-wrapped scallops, served with an apricot chutney, were cooked perfectly, incredibly tender, and practically melted in our mouths. The key lime pie was creamy and light with just the right amount of tartness, while the hot chocolate cake was rich and decadent, paired with the perfect amount of ice cream.
What we weren't expecting was to be disappointed by the steaks, especially at a restaurant known for its steak. I don't know whether the quality was different because we ordered the special, but both filets were dry around the edges and didn't become much juicier toward the center. They lacked the tenderness I expected and certainly didn't melt in our mouths. They were also surprisingly bland and could have benefited from more seasoning. In fact, my husband ended up using the apricot chutney from his scallops to add moisture and flavor to his steak.
Overall, the service, atmosphere, bread, appetizers, sides, and desserts were all excellent. Unfortunately, the steaks themselves fell short of expectations, which was disappointing given Morton's reputation as a premier steakhouse.
Food was good but service left a bad taste in my mouth
We arrived at around 6pm, with the restaurant being not too busy. It was two of us, and It was our first time here, so we were not too familiar with the menu. Our server John didn’t properly greet us or explain the food/drinks. We were between 2 other tables that he was also serving, yet he barely would stop by to check on us or offer a refill. He never asked to see if our steaks were properly cooked or if the food was good(only until the end). I couldn’t help but notice how attentive he was being with his other 2 tables, almost like our table didn’t exist. We were thinking about getting dessert, but after waiting for about 25 minutes for him to come check on us and offer a to go box, we just decided to get the check and leave. We always spoke in nice manner towards him, yet he would make snarky remarks when we had questions about something. We have tried other landrys locations, and we always receive good service. Overall, the meal was good, but not good enough to compensate for the inadequate service.

The atmosphere was great and for the most part the service was as well. The food was just okay. I ordered the 14 oz dry aged ribeye, bearnaise sauce, onion rings and key lime pie, which came to $100. My ribeye looked much smaller than 14 oz, and I understand that cooking reduces the weight, but the size surprised me. I was expecting a dry aged steak to have a more distinctive flavorful compared to a wet aged one, and for it to be more tender as well. This was not the case with my steak; it did not taste any different from other wet aged steaks I've had, and had quite a bit of gristle. The onion rings and key lime were fine, but nothing special. I had a Landry's $25 birthday reward and a couple of Landry's $50 gift certificates. I was told by my server that after he entered the gift certificates he was unable to enter my reward, and that the system forced him to do it in that order. It didn't sound correct to me but I didn't want to argue with him. For the price I was expecting an exceptional experience, but with the food being mediocre and not being able to use my Landry's reward, this was an overall disappointing experience. Don't think I will return and can't recommend to others.
