Morton's The Steakhouse

Well established restaurant. Inadvertently caught it during restaurant week. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection. The wedge salad was amazing. The mashed potatoes with sour cream did not live up to expectations. Unfortunately I could not enjoy the hazelnut chocolate mousse due to dietary restrictions. It sure sounded good though. This was part of the fixed price menu. Our waitress Erica was a gem. Our daughters dessert was indescribably delicious.( Raspberry souffle)

When you have an important meal that must be served well and at a location where conversations can be had without the need to raise your voice, Morton's is a great choice. Steak is as always top notch, service was prompt and detailed, and everything went without a hitch. Everyone was satisfied with the food and service, mission accomplished. Both self and valet parking are available.

Food was good. I had my infant with me, but unfortunately, there is no changing station in the bathroom. Otherwise, the service was very attentive and nice. Steak undercooked for medium, but still quite good. Lobster Mac had huge pieces of lobster in it! Atmosphere perfect for adults, very sultry! The valet parking fee was able to put on the check.

Atmosphere: 5/5 I loved the elegant vibe Food: 4/5 My drinks (Pineapple Paradise) were the best part. Chicken Christopher needed more seasoning. Truffle fries were large enough to share with the whole table. Service: 5/5 Everyone I encountered was so courteous and attentive. The bartender was quick and remembered my drink order. Cleanliness: 3/5 The restaurant was very clean but the restroom smelled like a gas station bathroom. They should invest in some type of diffuser or air freshener... definitely killed the vibe. Parking: 0/5 No on-site parking therefore I had to park in an event lot which ended up costing $45 due the Orioles playing at home. Price: Prices are in line with most fancy restaurants. You're essentially paying for the atmosphere and experience. Issue: I don't like how they only offer 1 check for the group but accept up to 3 forms of payment. We were asked to put the last 4 digits of our credit card next to the items we ordered. Some items weren't claimed so to prevent from causing a scene I just put the remaining items on my card. My $43 meal quickly turned into $97. This wouldn't have been the case if they would've separated the checks. *My drinks were paid for by a gentleman at the bar.

Christmas dinner consisted of a fresh loaf of bread with whipped butter. A glass of rose. A ribeye steak Oscar style and au gratin potatoes. Bread was fluffy, warm, and super fresh. The butter just melted perfectly into it. My ribeye was cooked perfectly and super tender. I ordered a side of their house made steak sauce because steaks should not be seasoned after cooking. Only before. And the chunks of asparagus with super lumps of crabmeat went perfectly with it. Didn't need to order a crab cake after adding this to my steak. The au gratin potatoes were creamy, chunky, and came out piping hot. It was super fresh and was a perfect touch with everything else. Merry Christmas to Mortons and your staff. It made my night as home as possible.

Save your money and go to Texas Roadhouse. We came here for the first time to eat on Christmas Day. We made a reservation (that we needed a credit card to secure), yet we were still standing around and waiting 5 minutes past our set time. This should have been an indicator as to how the rest of the evening would go. Finally got seated and ordering was a slow moving process, but nothing compared to how long it took for our food to come out. Our steaks were lukewarm and my husband’s lobster tail was cold when it finally did come. I suddenly realized why they have so many warming lights by the kitchen. Food just sits until somebody can run it out. Our server was noticeably absent throughout the meal. The cherry on top was when we got the bill. There was a built in 18 percent gratuity for the size of our party, which I was fine with, but then we were prompted to add another 20 percent tip when we went to pay. Of course we immediately declined, but they’re evidently trying to sneak their way into an almost 40 percent tip. My only positive experience was with the valet drivers, who were also the only people that got an above average tip. They moved quickly and were so pleasant to speak to. Wish they could replace the host and server staff, honestly.

Overall it was a very pleasant dining experience. Logistics was a bit of a nightmare. Using Waze, we were navigated to the BACK of the parking garage! Do not follow that! Turn right on Charles St. and just valet park. ($11) Morton's shares the parking lot with the Sheraton hotel Regarding the meal, our experience was very nice. Staff are well-trained and professional. Service took a bit longer than expected--likely due to Mothers Day. My son had the 7 oz. Waegu steak--by his 12 year old account it was "the best he ever had in his life!" My Ribeye was very nicely charred; the temperature was perfect; and, it was delicious. The Imperial Steak plates came out very nicely prepared, but the temperature of one of them was slightly undercooked. Regardless, our guest very much enjoyed the meal! It would be a 5 star experience without Camden Yards traffic to contend with and on a "non-holiday" day, I believe. Plan accordingly! Gametime traffic can be a nightmare! It added at least 15 minutes to our ride home.
