Oh my... :o :eek:


Mortons lunch coming up next week. Looking forward to it.

Hello,

My bf and I are going to Morton's Beverly Hills this coming October. It will be my first time there.

I am very excited, especially since most all of you seem to only have good things to say about their food and its quality. Hmm just thinking about it, makes me very very hungry!!!

By the way... just for wondering's sake, was it at the Morton's restaurant that Mrs. Doubtfire met up with Mr. Lundy in the movie Mrs. Doubtfire?? Just recalled that for some reason... :rolleyes:

We went to Mortons last week and had the special 2 dine for $99. Steak and Seafood. It was tremendous. Each person gets a choice of two salads, a filet and a choice of shrimp or a crab cake, and each person gets a side dish (each side is more than enough to share) and a choice of creme brulee or their choolate cake. Check their web site to see if your location is participating. This special was extended until Thanksgiving in a lot of locations. Unfortunately not in Boston.

Blue Cheese salad
Filet Mignon with Sauce Béarnaise
Raspberry Souffle

YUMMMMMMMMY. BTW - My favorite is in Chicago...

Actually, no. It was at (and filmed at) Bridges Restaurant in Danville, CA (east bay suburbs)... and my hometown!

*bump*

I think I'm going to try the 2 for $99 steak/seafood combo special... Since I usually order my usual with no room for anything else, I have not tried the salads or appetizers and was wondering which ones are better than others. So if you took this deal, what would your choices be???

Two Single Cut Filets (no choice)

Colossal Shrimp Alexander or Jumbo Lump Crab Cake

Caeser Salad or Mortons Salad

One Mortons Signature Potato

One fresh vegtable

Mortons Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake or Key Lime Pie

This thr3ead should be combined with the thread of people who are bored from "fine dining".

in little ms sunshine they went to applebys to lux dine. not all that much different than going to RC, morton, palm, S&W or CP.

:D

Sad, but not far from the truth. Don't forget Capital Grille from that list, please.

I love this deal.

Shrimp Alexanders - really, really good.
Ceasar Salad
Potato/Vegetable, its your choice. Maybe asparagus for the vegetable.
Definietly the chocolate cake.

And I just realized this offer isn't available at my local Mortons! :mad:

I do vary a bit, but lately I've been ordering the same thing over and over:

Sparkling Water
Crab Cake as appetizer
Glass of Red Wine with dinner
Double Cut Filet charred, med rare
Creamed Spinach
Port Wine as dessert

That's my regular order as well. :)

Tonight we're heading to Mortons @ Santa Ana -- for the first time. Taking advantage of the Steak And Seafood For Two ($99)... ^ However, I am a bit dismayed to read how many recent negative reviews there are :(

Hope we're lucky & things go better!

Slightly off-topic but there was a Financial Summit a few years ago in Toronto which meant lots of law enforcement about to quell demonstrations, etc. Anyway, Mortons management came outside unannounced with a huge tray of steak sandwiches for the guys in blue...nice touch I thought.

That's not necessarily my favorite Morton's, but you can expect the food to be great! Enjoy!^

Salads @ Morton's... We ordered the ceasar and the Morton's. Both were heavily laden with dressing....to the point of wilting. Is this typical? I want to know whether to request "lite dressing" in the future.

Start off with the Caesar Salad
Then Cajun Ribeye or some kind of fish
Hash browns
Chocolate lava cake

lava cake like traditional or like flemings' souffle/lava cake combo?

i really like fleming's, although the lava cake @ Tarragon @ Elk Mountain Resort in MTJ was absolutely incredible - by far the best ive had.

Sooooo is the 'heavy dressing' normal....? Is that their usual?

Double filet --rare
Caesar salad
Creamed spinach

10oz Filet Medium
Idaho Baked Potato
Sauteed Mushrooms
Lagavulin

Shrimp Alexander Appetizer
Caesar Salad
Cajun Ribeye - Medium Rare
French Fries

My last dinner at Morton's was with a large group and we decided to see how they did with crab cakes for an appetizer. They were fantastic and I'll be ordering them next time as well.

Asparagus as a side
 

My last time at Morton's in Beverly Hills, we ordered a side of asparagus and it consisted of 6 spears of asparagus for $10. I don't mind paying more for good beef well prepared (not well done, but blue), but at more than $1.50 a spear, I felt like I was being ripped off. I mean, it's asparagus. The steak is fine (of the chains, I actually like the filet at Ruth's Chris better, but I'm sure that has to do as much with the butter as anything else), but their sides -- the creamed spinach is not the best, either -- need some work.

Caesar Salad
Strip
Hash Browns
Lava Cake

Wedge salad w/extra bleu cheese crumbles
Cajun Ribeye
creamed spinach
wild mushrooms
grand marnier souffle
