Can you believe this exists in Hong Kong?

by cripper Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Sep 15 '02
Pros: Quality of food, huge portions, excellent service, cosy

If you have read any of my restaurant reviews (which is probably highly unlikely), you will notice that I heavily emphasize the diversity of food that exists in Hong Kong. Because I am so enthusiastic about talking about the diversity of food in Hong...

I don't like steak!

by DebbieCrews , May 17 '00
Pros: Chicken, shrimp
Cons: Not one in my home town!
Steak- I can take it or leave it! I eat a fairly low fat diet, so when we decide to splurge, I want to make sure it is on something I really want! My husband on the other hand is a steak-a-holic! He could eat a big, bloody, full of fat steak every...

Pros: Fantastic cuts of meat

Morton's is a Chain Restaurant. You wouldn't know it at first, but it is. But it's a trendy chain restaurant - the sort of ritzy, smoky establishment that whispers slyly, "I am not a Chain Restaurant..." As if to make up for this fact, the...

by woody_goode , Jul 29 '00
Pros: Terrific food, wonderful atmosphere, great service
Cons: Costly (though worth it); limited menu, not for casual dining
Should you try Morton's? It depends on whether you want to (a) spend $75/person (before alcohol) for a steak dinner or (b) live in a Frank Sinatra song for a few hours.

Morton's is the kind of restaurant that we assume they don't make anymore....

Like being in a basement in Cleveland circa 1976
by iesosa ,Jul 25 '04
Pros: None
Cons: The food, service and decor; what is there to like.
After searching for this restaurant I realized that it is in the basement of a bland building on Bolyston Street. We were seated almost immediately but within five minutes I had a headache from the almost incessant noise all around me. The waitress came by after 15 minutes and then brought over a cart with the main dinner items wrapped in plastic; weird and gimmicky is what I thought. 60 minutes after being seated we got our ok steaks. That gave me plenty of time to observe the horrible decor. I tried to drown out the noise by drinking a couple of martinis. After what can only be described as a disastrous dinner for two, the bill came: $170. Outrageously bad and expensive is a deadly combination. This place needs to be closed down.

Worse experience I have ever had with a restaurant. They authorized the credit card twice and once for more than the bill was. They will do nothing about it now that the bill is paid. The food was the worse. The staff stood around and gossiped half the night, and the souffle was the worse I have ever tasted. Go somewhere else for a $200+ dinner this place is not worth the money.

Everyone has a bad day
by millst005 ,Jun 13 '05
Pros: Nice atmosphere
Cons: Burnt food, poor service, $150 down the drain for two people
I had the New York strip and my wife had the Cajun steak at Arlington VA on 11 Jun 2005. Both were burnt on the outside. I waited over 15 minutes for water although we were the only ones there. The second fill up was a bit faster at 10 minutes as was the last. The desert took over 50 minutes to make and thus, we ordered it to go. My overall experience was very bad for both customer service and quality. Although I've heard great things about this place, I can only surmise that they had a bad day. That being said, I don't give second chances, I am done with Mortons.

Pretentious and over-priced
by swissphil ,Nov 18 '03
Pros: Struggling to find any.
Cons: Exorbitant prices for average food. Way over the top prices for wine.
I can only recommend to people to avoid this chain. We tried two, the first in Nashville, and had such a terrible experience that we couldn't believe it was that bad. We went to the New Orleans branch and had a hassle when we wanted to see the prices and the wine list before deciding if we would stay or not. We didn't.
