Came here for dinner with friends during KOP restaurant week. It ended up being our last hoorah before coronavirus shut the world down, so i'm glad we went. Morton's is located in the court side of the mall, but it has its own seperate entrance as well. It has the typical high end steak house atmosphere. We had a reservation and were seated relatively quickly. The restaurant week menu was $40 a person for for three courses. There was also a higher end fix prixe menu for $65 a person where you got to add a seafood to your steak, my husband and my friend both got suckered into doing that. I say suckered because I looked it up and this menu is offered not during restaurant week at $99 per couple. So, they actually paid more money during restaurant week, I can't really blame Morton's, it's a marketing gimmick. I was going to order a cocktail, but they were all $16, no thank you.
We started off with fresh bread. The bread was onion flavored and absolutely delicious. For my starter, I had the Caesar salad. The salad was great and a good sized portion. For my entree, I had the six ounce filet. It was good but not the best I have ever had. My main complaint was that it was cooked unevenly, I ordered it medium and about half of it was medium and half of it was medium well. My husband had a lobster tail with his which I got to try and that was very good. The sides were pretty big and I got to try most of them. I ordered the horseradish potatoes, which I really liked. You couldn't really taste the horseradish which was fine by me because i'm not a big fan, but another person in my party didn't like that. I also tried the au gratin potatoes and the broccoli, both really good. For dessert, I had the key lime pie which was great. My husband's got their "legendary" hot chocolate cake, which was good, but nothing special, surprised they call it legendary. Overall, I would say Morton's ranks middle of the road among the high end steakhouses in KOP, i'd rank it below Ruth Chris or Capital Grille, but better than Sullivan's. Also, our waiter did a great job and was very attentive.
