Morton's The Steakhouse

Was here on vacation last week, wanted to have a nice dinner so we made a reservation. Food was great! Unfortunately service was awful. Chip was our server & initially he approached our table within good time the first 2 times. After that he approached us maybe every 40 mins unless we specifically called out for him. I used to be a server so I understand it can get busy, etc. We had a late reservation & there were not many tables. There was no reason to barely come to our table. Whenever we asked for something it would also take him 15+ mins to bring us what we asked for. Ex, waiting 15mins for a straw. Would go back, would make sure we didn’t have him.

I don’t even know where to begin with how excellent our rehearsal dinner at Morton’s was. We had an intimate group of 25 and it was absolutely perfect. The food was 11/10, the ambiance a full 15/10, and the service was through the roof. We had a private space with a customized three-course menu, signature drinks with personalized names, and a staff that was incredibly attentive and warm. You could genuinely feel the happiness and care from everyone there—it was the best service I’ve ever experienced for a private event. I cannot recommend this classy, top-tier establishment enough, especially if you're planning a wedding rehearsal dinner.

I thought I had to reward myself with a good meal. So there I was made a reservation. The aged steak that I've had was definitely good. The creamed spinach was a delicacy. Overall my experience was good. My server was definitely attentive to me. That was a plus. The service was top notch and met my expectations. Will definitely recommend this steakhouse for special occasions.

Went for restaurant week and it was great value for the money! I feel like the food at this restaurant needs to come with instructions lol the bread despite being delicious was very messy to eat and same with the wedge salad. BUT! 10/10 on the drinks and filet mignon! Ryan our waiter was very honest and kind. He made our experience great!

My fiance and I came for the restaurant week special. We both got the 3-course meal. I recommend the double pork chop and the wagyu meatball. All of the food was cooked to perfection! Our server was Brian, and he provided outstanding service. He is very polite and has a great sense of humor. Great set up and atmosphere!

Our server Nick is prompting this review. He provided outstanding customer service (5 stars for him), very eager to please without being overly attentive, helpful regarding the menu choices, and just a really nice guy! The scallops wrapped in bacon were melt-in-your-mouth goodness. I will return just for the Keylime pie and will be happy ordering a slice and eating it at the bar with nothing else. We left with 3 loaves of their famous onion bread. Much to my dismay, the tomahawk steak did not blow my socks off. I’ve had my share of high quality meat over the decades, and this wasn’t one of them. Don’t get me wrong, it was average, and just lacked flavor and tenderness. Very sad considering they are known for their steaks. In all, had a great night out with friends with some delicious food and impeccable customer service! Little side note, some of the picture frames hanging in the main dining room need straightening. I don’t mean this sarcastically, I just pay attention to detail.

We came during restaurant week and had a starter, main, and dessert for $65! Such a great deal. The wedge salad had a ton of blue cheese (a major plus) and the steaks were cooked perfectly. A good dirty martini and a large wine list too.

The filet sliders were exceptional. Order it with bearnaise sauce. I'd also recommend the crab cakes.

Excellent steak and attentive, polite service in an "old school" steakhouse atmosphere. Another plus is that they serve their usual menu on New Year's Eve. They don't jack up the prices with a ridiculously expensive spring NYE menu as is the case with many other restaurants downtown.

I've been a loyal Morton's customer for years. I've spent real money here and always came expecting a high-level experience. But tonight was different--and completely out of line. Your server Bryan was flat-out disrespectful. He kept making unnecessary, flirtatious comments toward my wife throughout the night. He even said he'd watch our 3-month-old son--which was beyond inappropriate. He ignored me every time I tried to speak and kept his full attention on her like I wasn't even at the table. It got so uncomfortable, I had to say something to him during dinner. That alone should tell you how bad it got. A place like Morton's should never put a customer in that position. I was there to enjoy dinner with my family--not to deal with disrespect from someone who's supposed to be providing service. I've supported this restaurant for years, but after tonight, I won't be coming back. Morton's is supposed to represent class and respect, and what happened tonight was the exact opposite.

I was amazed on everything they served it was a treat for me and my date I am by no means high income and to me this was very high in price......but after ordering the soups, bread, the fillet minions with mashed potatoes,, chocolate cake with a vanilla ice cream and finishing it with a squirt to drink ( not a wine drinker) ....it was worth every penny our server Cory was very kind and saw that we got everything in order ....like he was watching us the whole time......when we finished our bread...someone will come and get our plates then bring ours soups, we finished our soups and poof he is there to get our bowls and come back with the next dish...I felt like royalty . Thank you Cory for treating us kindly.....I been to other high end steak house and the experience with other servers would treat me like they were doing me a favor and talk with some silly story of how the meat was prepared and history of the chefs history of schools.....but with Cory......like a good old boy he promised you will love this dish ...simple

We dined on Saturday during restaurant week. The restaurant was packed but they were still able to seat us a few minutes early for our reservation. We only ordered diet cokes but they did have an extensive wine list. The restaurant was smaller than I had anticipated and did seem a bit loud. For appetizers I ordered the meatball and my husband got the French onion soup...both were delicious. We also were served onion bread and butter. My husband really enjoyed this, to me it was good but kind of just seemed like a giant onion roll. We both got filet mignon. My side was mashed potatoes, he got creamed spinach. Steaks were tender and cooked to ordered temperature but maybe could have used a tad more seasoning. It was a solid steak but not the best steak I've ever had. Dessert was creme brulee and key lime pie. I enjoyed the creme brulee with its perfectly crunchy top while my husband enjoyed the key lime pie with its buttery graham cracker crust. Our waitress was friendly but perhaps spread a bit thin. Minor quibble but they brought out our entrees before clearing out appetizer plates which seemed a bit unpolished for the level they are aiming for.

I like the fact that Morton's Restaurant is located on a quiet street in the Gas Lamp District of Downtown San Diego. There is none of the crazyness or the crowds that you see in other areas of the Gas Lamp District. There is valet parking right in front of the restaurant. However, often you can find a place to park yourself on the street. On this most recent visit, my waiter was assigned twi tables in the room I was seated and all of the rest of his tables on the complete other side of this large and cavernous restaurant. That resulted in the waiter--who was hard working---from proerly servicing these two tables in the section in which I was seated. When the kind manager Joshua stopped by, I mentioned the issue. He stated "he would talk to the waiter". I responded that the waiter was not at fault. Rather, it was a management error in splitting a waiter between two vastly separate rooms. That is an issue management can correct overnight. The spicy Szechuan Green beans were good.

Had dinner here the other night. Service was top notch! Our server Jason was EVERYTHING! Food and drinks were really good. The steak I had was perfectly cooked, however it needed just a tad more salt and it would have been perfect. I ordered a passion fruit margarita. When it came out it was spicy. Jason told me that they put hot honey in this drink. This is not mentioned on the menu. I think they need to list ALL of the ingredients that are in a drink on the menu. What if someone has allergies??? Other than those 2 things... food , service, and drinks were awesome.

I've been a while ago. It was good but I didn't remember why I haven't been back sooner. Up until the other day. The memories came back. The wedge was good and a nice size. My ribeye steak however, was not as I remember. It wasn't the best. I've had better at other steakhouses just literally around the corner. The ribeye wasn't very marbleized. I like a good marbled ribeye and this one just lacked that. Was actually on the drier side. The bread seemed day old and not very soft. The server was ok but the whole experienced seemed they were off their game. As I was leaving, I walked by the hostess stand where a number of employees were standing and not one of them thanked me coming or wished me a good evening. They only did AFTER I had said "thanks, and you too!" It just didn't feel welcoming. I should have listened to my instincts and went to Flemings around the corner or even Cowboy Star a few blocks away. Even Freddie's Chophouse (also around the corner) is a much better experience. I'll go there next time.

Excellent service as always and perfectly cooked steak whether you're a medium rare or a medium well type steak eater. The garlic butter is a MUST as is the ice cream sundae! I would skip the bearnaise sauce though and the creme brulee texture is off (needed to be more solid). The Parmesan matchstick fries were tasty but a little too crispy. Parking nearby is very expensive ($25), so might as well valet ($22).

I love Restaurant Week! It's an excuse to either try a new restaurant or go to one you've already been to, in this case I had already been to Morton's a few times, however, a few of my friends had not so I suggested Morton's as an option. I had the wedge salad, which in my opinion I think it's the best I've ever had. My friend had the meatballs she said were delicious. For my entrée, we ordered the filet mignon which We all agreed wasn't " all that" lol Dessert was OK as well. It was basically a-fancy puddling I don't remember what the other option was, but I should've ordered that instead. I do have to say that the serve was was great. But the best part of it all is making plans with friends and having a night out. And I would definitely come back for that wedge salad, I hear they have a pretty good happy hour too.

Enjoyed Mother's Day celebration at Morton's with my mom and my daughter. Rib eye was delicious, chef's selections were amazing and also the sea bass. We also loved their bubbly and dessert. Valet is easy and convenient at this location.

We had a great experience for San Diego restaurant week. The steak was solid, as expected from a steakhouse of this caliber. The setting is more intimate than I expected and service was very good. The French onion soup was good and key lime pie was delicious. Overall an excellent date night dinner.

San Diego Restaurant Week motivated me to try Morton's for the first time. Really great deal for an appetizer, entree, side, and dessert for $65. The service was great and they even customized our menus for a birthday at our table. My filet was cooked a proper rare, but otherwise the food was lackluster. Most of the dishes were very bland with little to no salt or other seasonings. I would definitely skip the mashed potatoes side and order the steak with an added sauce or butter for extra flavor.

Went to Morton's for the first time during restaurant week and their prix fixe menu offered a great deal of food for $65! While I was happy with the quantity of food I found that each element was somewhat bland. I ordered the filet medium rare and it came out quite bloody so I sent it back to have them cook it a little more. It still wasn't quite medium rare, but I was okay with it and they ended up comping the meal which made up for it. The truffle fries were actually my favorite part of the meal and had a good amount of flavor. I'm not one to add salt to a meal but if there was salt on the table that probably would've been helpful. Maybe the flavors weren't as great as usual since it was restaurant week and perhaps they're busier than usual. Overall a nice dinner setting and good environment, but could've been better food wise.

Thank you Morton's for finally bringing back the happy hour menu. We popped in for happy hour drinks and some food. We had the sliders, burger, and fries. The food was tasty and it hit the spot to watch the games on the screen. We also had glasses of Pinot. It was a fun and relaxing atmosphere. The service was great! Thanks!

What a fabulous experience in dining! Celebrating Father's Day, our family had a wonderful dinner with Candice as our server! We shared the tomahawk steak that was cooked perfectly. The seafood platter was a great appetizer to share for the four of us! Wonderful service! Thank you!

The service was exceptional. Our waiter was quick, very knowledgeable and made my wife's and my 7 year anniversary amazing. The bread they bring out while you wait is amazing. Our steaks came out perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. It would have been a great way to spend our anniversary. So why the low star review? Sadly, my wife and I got the lobster mac and cheese and crab mashed potatoes. Both tasted amazing. The only issue is both we ended up finding multiple shells in each dish. It completely ruined the eating component of the experience. For the money we spent to eat there and the type of restaurant this is definitely not something you'd expect and should have happen.

Everything was delicious. Service was great, food was amazing, and the drinks did not disappoint.

March 22nd, I made my way to Mortons in SD to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. Adam, my server was nothing short of friendly, welcoming and beyond professional. Providing us with his personal recommendations making it easy to decide on our selected dishes. Thank you Adam for enhancing our experience and making it extra special for our visit here! We will be back!!!

Morton's in San Diego is like that classic leather-jacket-wearing uncle who's been around forever, knows all the best stories, and still outdresses everyone at family gatherings. This place is old-school in the best way dim lighting, white tablecloths, and a menu that doesn't need to prove anything because it knows it's good. The steaks? Absolute perfection. Cooked just how you want, with that buttery, melt-in-your-mouth vibe that makes you question every life choice that led to eating lesser steaks before this moment. The sides? Let's just say the truffle fries alone deserve their own standing ovation. And the service? Impeccable. These folks are pros attentive, friendly, and somehow always appear at the perfect moment, like steakhouse ninjas. It's the ideal spot to celebrate a Padres win (or drown your sorrows if they lost nothing heals like filet mignon). Whether you're in for a pre-game feast or a post-game nightcap, Morton's is that timeless San Diego staple that never misses. Just be warned: after one bite, you might start referring to yourself as a "steak connoisseur."

The Padres lost, but we still won. We've had season tox since Petco opened and lime to find cool spots to hang out sometimes during or after the game Last night, our Pads were struggling, so to change their mojo, we left early. It's a sacrifice, but we're not heroes. We joined the Landrys Select club ( free ) sometime back, and why not earn some points? We also liked sitting g at the bar and were lucky to get a slot because the place was jumping. The game is on so that we can cheer on our Pads. Good, friendly service with great food make up for the eventual loss. Typically, I get bar bites, but last night, I decided to go full menus. And yes, this is a chop house, but why not try the pork chop? Morgan, our server/bartender/martini fan, had it grilled to perfection. Medium char, she called it, and I loved the crispy outside. Perfect to share. The PC was paired with a lovely chopped salad they were happy to split and schezuan green beans. And don't get me started on their bread. Unreal! We added a perfect martini ( blue cheese stuffed), and what a terrific date night. Morgan was also friendly enough to split a third martini. ( she's great ) The cherry on top is being a member. I guess I received a $25.00 credit for your upcoming B-day. Voila.

We went last night for restaurant week. I've actually never heard of Morton's but definitely a fancy steakhouse. Even when you walk in there's a sign that says "Proper Attire Required" ... so you know it's fancy! I'm sure it's not always that busy and loud. But since it was restaurant week more people are able to try at affordable prices. Our server was Brian. He was amazing. Very polite and always made sure we were doing okay. Morton's serves onion bread for free along with some whipped butter. DE-LICIOUS. We ended up getting two loaves between the three of us. For drinks, I got the passion fruit margarita. It was good. Pretty strong in my opinion . Not what I expected but nonetheless delightful. I chose the lobster bisque as my appetizer. Honestly, I could eat a whole pot full of that lobster bisque. Perfect amount of creaminess and whatever else they put in LOL. But I did not want to finish it cause then I knew I wouldn't have anymore. That's how much I loved it. I got the filet mignon cooked medium well. Filet mignon is never my first pick on cuts of steak. But it was good. Could've been seasoned more. I'm not sure if it even was seasoned. But in my opinion it was missing something. However, they do have options for sauces that go along with their steaks. The mashed potatoes were so smooth and creamy. I'm a big lover of potatoes so it truly hit the spot. The hot chocolate cake was decent. I was hoping there would be some type of chocolate filling almost like a molten lava cake. The vanilla ice cream was delicious. The cake was alright. I wouldn't get it again. That says a lot for me because I love chocolate cake. All in all, my experience was great. Service was awesome. Definitely ask for Brian!

The steaks are always great. The service is usually great. Tonight we went and had a completely different experience at the bar. The bar was disheveled and people were left waiting to be served or waiting for their check as were we. So disappointing not at all what we have experienced in the past. I hope they get it together again

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Morton's and we really enjoyed our dinner. We started with the having the complimentary onion loaf which was delicious. We ordered the crab cake appetizer which was delicious as well. For our entrees we ordered the filet mignon and New York strip and for sides we ordered the lobster mac n cheese, roasted brussel sprouts and a loaded baked potato. Everything was delicious! Our service was a little slow in the beginning but good as well. I would definitely recommend giving Morton's a try.

Came here on Sunday 6/22 for my boyfriends birthday dinner, from the moment we came through the doors, we were greeted by the lovely Alyssa. She was kind enough to take some photos of us she was very sweet and showed us to our table. Corey was our server and though he was busy with a full section, he still manicured our table and charmed us with his presence. One of the other floor managers was also very kind, and very hands on helping out the team while everyone was busy. Kim the bartender made us 2 old fashions and was excellent as well. The Wagyu meatballs were delicious, as was the tuna app. I got the chicken Christopher and my boyfriend ordered the New York. The lobster Mac and cheese was mid, I was really not expecting Corey to take it off the bill, but he was so kind and took care of us. Thank you Morton's San Diego for keeping it Classy, we can't wait to come back and sit with Corey!

We decided to try all "chain" steak houses in San Diego to compare and Morton's was last on our list. We've been making our way around Ruth Chris, Flemings and Morton's. Overall, I think Morton's had a really good filet. Definitely better than Flemings but not better than Ruth Chris. Ruth Chris is because of the hot sizzling butter plate. Morton's filet was cooked to perfection, seasoned right and succulent. We also had their Brussels, Caesar, onion soup and parm fries. Their parm fries are amazing!! Next time steak and fries only! Lol. My husband didn't like their bone in ribeye, he said it tasted dry age versus regular. Not sure if that's something to "complain" about. I thought it tasted fine! It was cooked medium rare. He didn't like the char grill on it. Again I thought it tasted fine! And of course we tried their chocolate lava cake. It takes 20 minutes and it's very good. I mean I make a mean one at home, theirs is up there. Service was excellent! If located in a better location that is easier to get to, we'll go for their wine series.

Enjoyed a special meal with family in San Diego at Morton's and was very pleased with our meal and the service. The steak and lobster were cooked to perfection. Looking forward to another visit soon.

The service is great! Everybody was friendly and helpful. The ambiance on a weekend afternoon is nice. We chose to sit outside. The shrimp cocktail was out of this world. It is bigger than the one in Vegas Morton's. The salmon was medium well. The taste was great! The ribeye (black and blue) had a nice beef flavor and tender inside. The hot chocolate was a nice finish. The lavender cosmo was lovely!!! It was very special. If you prefer not to drive, it is located about 2 min away from MTS green line Convention Center stop.

Came here for my mom's bday and truly enjoyed myself (so did she)! Korey was a wonderful server. He provided top notch service. He paid attention to our needs, details that we provided, and even when we slowed down eating (which signaled that we were done ). The other staff were wonderful as well! The food was great, I got the Oscar filet mignon (topped with crab) and I altered it with adding the Szechuan green beans. The wagyu meatballs were delicious. Great choice! The bacon brussel sprouts were soooo good as well! Come here and ask to sit in Korey's section (I'm pretty sure everyone else is great, as well), you won't regret it. Also, it there was a Braves game that day (you know what means lol)

Morton's and Woodford Reserve Bourbon team up for a delightful evening. The private room at Morton's was at capacity to enjoy the many Woodford Reserve drinks paired with some very delicious bites of food. Each drink had a story and a perfect pairing to the delight of the attendees. The staff of Morton's were on their best delivery of service as the drinks came out with the pairing of food bites in a very timely manner. The informative information shared by Ryan, a representative of Woodford Reserve, was enjoyed along with the bourbon and food. Each attendee had their photo taken when entering and the photos were distributed to each couple before the evening was complete. This special thought was very much appreciated as the evening came to a close and the memories of the evening came with a photo!

The service and restaurant is super nice! Very nice inside. The food was good, but I wasn't wowed by any of it. Had the filet with mashed potatoes, asparagus. (Bread and butter was delicious)

Went for restaurant week and it was great value for the money! I feel like the food at this restaurant needs to come with instructions lol the bread despite being delicious was very messy to eat and same with the wedge salad. BUT! 10/10 on the drinks and filet mignon! Ryan our waiter was very honest and kind. He made our experience great!

Love a steakhouse with a great bar option. Fernando and his team at the bar took great care of us and made the best carajillo we have had in a while. Great food and great atmosphere!

Seriously what's not to love. My food was simply perfect. Lobster bisque was the best I've ever had and the lobster and mushroom ravioli were so flavorful. 10/10 again

Came here to celebrate a birthday, by accident (actually, because Fleming's as closed due to a special event). I expected "fine dining" but the interior lacked any class. It was very dark inside. When it came to the food, according to my nephew, "the cajun ribeye steak was delicious" but I settled for Salmon and Lobster Ravioli. We also had a lobster tail with a side of steak. The salmon was nothing special (and of course, why not just stick to steak?); it was good but nothing to brag about. The lobster ravioli had 6 pieces - it was good but needed some umph. Not sure about the lobster tail and steak but my family seemed to enjoy it. We also had truffle fries - delicious. Mashed potatoes (nothing to rave about). I would say the highlight was the bread and smooth whipped butter - that was delicious for sure. I wanted more but had to settle for just one so I wouldn't lose my appetite. The overall experience was good but I wouldn't consider this place "fine dining" because the interior is lack luster. There are other better places, especially the dark interior which I would say made the ambience meh. Food wise, alright, but nothing special.

We were much overdue for a nice date night and it led us to an absolutely amazing evening at Morton's The Steakhouse in downtown. From start to finish the service is some of the best I have ever had. I had an interesting looking gift card that I had some questions about and Josh, the manager was truly amazing and super helpful with it. I even came in the night before because I was worried about it and he was there both nights and was a huge help. On top of that already incredible help we also had Brian who was our server and San Diego native who was super knowledgeable in the menu, including the wines which I love, and really made our whole night a great experience. I had the filet oscar since that is my favorite and my boyfriend did the bone in ribeye. We go out to eat pretty often and he has had ribeye from many places and he took one bite and knew that this one was his favorite he has ever had. I even stole a bite and wow the flavor in the ribeye was truly phenomenal especially dipped in the horseradish cream sauce we got as well. We also got the au gratin potatoes to share which was plenty big enough, we even took some home and we had to end the meal with the lava cake. I love that it isn't a huge dessert but the perfect amount of sweetness to end the meal! The customer service alone would keep me coming back so I can't wait to come back and try more items or even just enjoy a drink at the bar! Thanks again Brian and Josh - truly made the whole experience amazing!

Not as excellent as usual. We came on a Sunday @ 6:30pm for the Labor Day prefix menu special, which you must ask for. (I know about it because I belong to Morton's email list which advertises such specials). What was off: The first onion bread loaf of the two was not very good--not as piping hot, not a lot of onions, a little deflated, but the second one was great. The filet mignon center cut 8oz (we paid for upgrade from 6 oz) was not as fabulous as usual--not as tender? needed salt? Something tasted different. Fries weren't the best accompaniment to the meat (not Morton's fault...) and were served hot, crispy in a cone like container and was a larger portion than the happy hour size. What was great: Creamed spinach was five stars--delicious, creamy, had lots but not too much garlic. That was the best part of the meal. Cesar salad and the iceberg wedge were still pretty good. Key lime pie and chocolate lava cake (upgrade) were wonderful. Our server was great--very hospitable and packaged our food nicely to go.

Came here tonight with a friend and to celebrate one of us getting a new job. Hostess was nice and seated us almost immediately for our reservation. After being seated though, we were waiting for a bit of time before our waiter came around to us (had 2 other runners/bussers ask us if we wanted bread and water in the meantime - they were the only good part of our service). After finally getting to us, it was like clawing tooth and nail to get service/attention from our server. There were people who got sat after us and got their food and left before us. Getting to the point here, our waiter seemed like he was bothered, inconvenienced or just plain having a bad day or something almost the entire service because he was not friendly whatsoever. We did not order cocktails but did get non-alcoholic beverages and we honestly thought he was annoyed we didn't get alcohol. Also maybe thought it was because we had asked small tiny weird questions (like asking for ranch for our fries). We tried to keep positive and kept trying to make small jokes when we was helping us but we just got cold looks and silence. This all really made our experience sour to the point that we wanted to just get our food and leave (even a completely different server could tell something was wrong and tried to help us when our server was otherwise just not found - honestly barely saw our server on the floor the entire time we were there). Seemed like he didn't (and honestly we didn't) want to even make eye contact at the end. Literally the only saving grace for this dinner was the filet mignon which was delicious. And the only picture I got was of this meatball too which was pretty good 7.5/10. Super bummed about this experience.

The food and service is very good! I really enjoyed the experience. Me and my bf celebrated my birthday here, and I would say it was amazing! The food was delicious! Japanese wagyu really melts in your mouth! And their dessert is bomb!

There's so much I could say about Nick the server... his outstanding customer service and attention to detail consistently make every visit an exceptional and truly enjoyable experience. Thank you, Nick!

My friend and I went here for Restaurant Week. We went here on a Tuesday night, and it was pretty packed! I'm glad we had reservations. Although I'm not sure if it is normally this busy on a weekday. It took about 5 minutes from them to get our table ready, and another 5 minutes before anyone came to our table. But once we were in contact with our server, she was super attentive, welcoming, and hospitable. They start off by giving you this fresh, everything flavor bread loaf and a side of cream cheese. As part of the restaurant week menu, I ordered the cup of lobster bisque, 8 oz filet mignon cooked to medium rare, with a side of their onion rings, and hazelnut chocolate mousse for dessert. I also ordered the YuZu spritz. Everything was pretty tasty. It wasn't the best filet mignon I've had, but paired with everything else I ate and drank, my taste buds were very pleased. Great spot for a dinner date or outting with friends.

Came here for Restaurant Week, so maybe the normal steaks are different, but the steak was dry and overcooked. Ordered Medium Rare+ and it was more Medium Well+. I did not like it. Our server Brian though really went out of his way to make it up to me, offering sauce options that helped. The 1682 Whiskey Experience flight was the highlight of my evening, as well as the lobster bisque soup. Inside the restaurant is beautiful. I liked how most of the tables were standard four-person square tables, and we were not crammed on a skinny two-person table. Overall I would want to revisit and re-evaluate their steak.

The Mortons food, is not as good as usual. One filet was better than exact same other thing. The service was like a normal restaurant, kind too. The restaurant itself was nice, but very dark, as always, crowed and overall a 4.

Morton's is another addition to our long-standing tradition of eating steakhouses for special occasions. There is a dress code and I noticed a lot of people in suits but we walked in with polos and dark jeans and had no problem being seated. The places gives off a business happy hour kind of vibe, not so much of a fancy vibe. Since we were celebrating Valentine's and our anniversary, we went all out and ordered way too much food. But this gave us a good opportunity to try a lot of things on their menu. Service was great and our food came out pretty fast. They also gave us this giant, fluffy loaf to stave off our hunger until the first dish arrived. FYI, the food comes in waves so appetizers first, and once all of that is done, then they'll bring out the entrees. You could probably ask them to bring everything out at once too. Maine Lobster Ravioli: Our favorite appetizer of the night! Comes with 3 pieces, so not much to begin with. Mixed into the sauce were a couple pieces of lobster claws and crispy brussels sprouts leaves. The creamy sauce, with its slight truffle flavor, was so good, that we cleaned the plate. The on-the-house bread was perfect for wiping up the sauce. Baked French Onion Soup: Comes out super hot so be careful! While it was a good soup, there wasn't really anything that stood out. There's a nice layer of melted cheese with a ton of soft onion strips underneath. A little sweet, easily finished split between two people. Nueske's Bacon Strip: This was a disappointment. When it first arrived, the two thick slices (almost a foot long each) looked so good. You could see the crispy caramelization on the bacon. The glaze had a distinct pineapple flavor to it and it just tasted like ham. If it were like a brown sugar or maple glazed flavor, I think it would've worked out a lot better. Sides: Most of the sides were disappointing. Sautéed Brussels Sprouts weren't really salted and didn't have much flavor. The Matchstick Parmesan and Truffle Fries were really crispy but I didn't think the truffle flavor was strong enough. "The Troy" was just sautéed onions and mushroom and most of the flavor came from the caramelized onions. The only side I thought was worth getting was the Smoked Gouda and Bacon au Gratin Potatoes. Great cheesy flavors and the potatoes were soft and creamy. Prime Bone-In Ribeye: And now for the main course. The bone-in ribeye comes in at 22 oz. (weight of bone included), which is pretty worth. A medium rare comes a little red in the center but not too chewy. It was super tender and easy to cut through. And I loved that the surface is slightly charred and crispy. This was probably one of my favorite rib-eyes in San Diego. Although not on the menu, you can ask for plain garlic butter as a dipping sauce. Since we were celebrating, they dropped off their lava cake with vanilla ice cream, on-the-house! It was so good but after all the food, we couldn't finish it. If you do order it, they make everything fresh so give yourselves 20 minutes of leeway. The fudge inside the cake is really rich and the ice cream just kind of mellows that out. Although we had some misses, the steak really saved the night. At least now, we know what to avoid and can try other appetizers and sides next time.

Restaurant week. Service was good. The lobster bisque was delicious the French onion soup was disappointing. The pork-chop was very good. The steaks were divine. Both the crème brûlée and chocolate cake were yummy. Expensive place it is worth the cost

Food was fabulous. Steak cooked to perfection lobster was fresh. Service was very informative and prompt also very friendly. Vibe was chill struck up a conversation with a couple down from Baltimore And had a wonderful evening!

Morton's is one of our favorite places dine! It started out as one of the fancy restaurants we'd visit for special occasions, but it doesn't have to be for just that! We enjoy coming here to celebrate or just pop in and dine at the bar. Atmosphere has a nice, cozy and intimate feel inside. My favorite table is a booth of course. Highly recommend making reservations for dinner especially on the weekends or a special occasion, which can be easily done by calling or through the Open table app. If you don't have reservations you can go to the bar to dine with the full dinner menu. It is first come first serve and the bar area fills up fast. Everything is absolutely delicious! If something is off or not to your liking, let them know! We've had many wonderful servers and the bar staff is super friendly, as well as managers who definitely try to make everything perfect! Service is great, which you don't find that too often anymore. Here are our favorite menu items that we keep coming back for! Appetizers: - Jumbo lump crab cake - huge with lots of crab flavor! - Jumbo shrimp Alexander - if you like shrimp, get the full order (6 shrimp) instead of the half order... we always end up getting this each time we visit! - Ahi Tuna poke - can't go wrong if you want some ahi! Main and Side dishes: - Prime Cajun Ribeye with blue cheese butter (they have other sauces which are delicious, but the blue cheese butter is my absolute favorite!) - Chicken Christopher - pounded thin lightly breaded chicken breast in a buttery lemon sauce. Yum yum yum! - The Troy - sautéed onions with button mushrooms - Sour cream mashed potatoes - rich, creamy and decadent Dessert: - Crème brûlée is my fav dessert. This one huge! - Affogato (Coffee and ice cream) - this is not exactly on the menu, but I wanted an Affogato one time after dinner. They asked what it was and told them a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream topped with a shot of espresso... and they made it for me! :) It was perfect! I'm always tempted to try the molten chocolate lava cake, but I think one bite and I'll be done. I hear it's very popular, but order it ahead of time cause it takes a min of 20 min to make. The drinks are delicious and strong! One of my favorites is the Blooming hibiscus! Sweet and tart with just enough tequila kick! Morton's is a bit more upscale and expensive, but completely worth the food, dining experience and service! For a special occasion like a Birthday or Anniversary, they add a nice little special extra touch by personalizing your menu which you can take home and also give you a photo to remember the evening! They are a part of the Landry's restaurant group so you can start earning rewards every time you dine, so make sure you sign up!

It was amazing! We will be back! The service was great! From valet to dinner to ending the night with satisfaction of the meal and glamour of that beautiful place.

There's nothing better than tasty bread and great service! The service here is phenomenal, our waitress was attentive and we never had to ask for anything! The restaurant is low lit and features a nice dining section and a casual bar area. When seated you immediately get free bread, a round loaf with seasoning that is reminiscent of everything bagel seasoning. My husband and I both ordered a medium rare filet minion and each added lobster a lobster tail. We split a side of potatoes at gratin with Gouda cheese. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. Our dessert was a molten lava cake with vanilla ice cream. The cake was decadent and the ice cream was the best vanilla ice cream I've ever had, and that's coming from a chocolate girly!

Fabulous experience! I booked a reservation online with an anniversary dinner and the staff made this night wonderful for my wife and I. We loved the food and I even commented to the cheerful waiter that the portion size was better than their competitor (R.C.). This helpful server graciously offered up the custom menus noting out anniversary as a keep sake and provided a beautifully crafted desert for us to enjoy. The food service time was well timed and the pricing was well in line for the level of service and food quality. By the way, the Old Fashion was well balanced and delicious. Lastly, the server offered up the Landry's Select Club and to my delight they were able to issue the card on-sight so that I did not have to wait for one to be mailed to me at a future date as is the process with online registration. We were invited to return, this is a great example of sensational customer service. Thank you Morton's for continually providing excellent food, drinks, and service.
