Morton's The Steakhouse

Solid Morton's right by 5th Ave and 45th (next to the Tommy Bahama's) with a tried and true menu and comfortable seating. Our server was friendly and helpful (she was quite adamant that we try dessert, which we gave into), and gave us enough space to talk without interruptions. The gigantic onion loaf was a nice welcome, as always.

A few highlights:
1. The seafood tower: Definitely a must-try with crabmeat, shrimp, oysters, tuna tartare. It's a glorious sight.
2. Chopped salad: Perfectly and finely chopped with plenty of bacon, gorgonzola, tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocado
3. Filet: Get the 12 oz medium rare - it comes with a perfectly cool center. Try it with the bearnaise or steak sauce.
4. The prime ribeye: This was the highlight - perfectly seasoned, cooked, and a juicy medium rare. The flavor was perfection. Will be back to try the bone-in.
5. Cheesecake: It's more of a Basque cheesecake (round not a slice) with a caramelized sugar top. Creamy yet light.

Overall, a good option in midtown with great steaks and very reasonable prices for the quality, service, and area. Will be back!

We stopped in for lunch and there is a business casual dress code for the dining room so we went to the bar.

The onion bread is very good and the filet mignon sandwiches were good too but my bottom bread was soggy.

The bartender was also our server you have to wait a little longer for her to come check up on you but other than that everything was good.

So I am sorry but I didn't even wait to order but I did wait
I stopped in for lunch
2 guys at the bar three tables in the bar. Hostess told me to pick any table wanted. The waitress/ bartenders looked at me 4 times and walked by me 5 times. I was there for 15 minutes before I walked out.
I told the hostess but seriously.
There are enough steak houses in NY I don't don't have to go back.

We had a private event in the back.
Nice quiet area. The server was so lackluster.
Every question we asked received a non-answer.
What kind of beer do you have? Response: what kind of beer do you want?
What kind of wine is this? Response: House wine.
Dude....
The pre set up menu was also so lackluster.
Steak and some green beans with a side salad.
For such a nice restaurant, I was incredibly disappointed by the service, overall mood, and the food in general.

Celebrated a birthday & pre-anniversary dinner & very enjoyable experience. They had a personalized message on the menu that was wrapped up with a photo which was a memorable keepsake, We had tickets for an 800 show for a 600 dinner so the staff was very efficient & attentive to make sure we were served in a courteous and efficient manner. My husband enjoyed the baked onion soup & New York strip and I preferred the chopped house salad with Chicken Christopher. Huge portions! Deliciously prepared food. We were also
Presented with a cheesecake dessert to further celebrate the occasion. Highly recommend!!

Morton's Midtown provided an exceptional experience from start to finish. Amid the Thanksgiving hustle, the staff's hospitality was remarkable. The moment we stepped through the door, we felt genuinely welcomed and attended to, setting the tone for a memorable dining adventure.

Ana, our server, was the embodiment of excellence. Her charm, humor, and consistent attentiveness enhanced our meal. Kudos to her for keeping our glasses filled and the atmosphere light. A special shout-out goes to Peter, the manager, whose kindness added a personal touch to our holiday celebration.

The three-course prefix menu turned our evening into a culinary journey. The Winter Green salad with spiced walnuts, the oven-roasted turkey roulade with sage and cranberry stuffing, and the delightful pumpkin cheesecake with sea salt caramel were all gastronomic triumphs. I also indulged in an additional appetizer - the lobster bisque, a decision that proved to be a delectable one.

The precision in cooking was evident throughout, from the sour cream mashed potatoes to the baked corn soufflé and green beans almondine. What's remarkable is that despite the Thanksgiving rush, there was no prolonged wait for our orders.

Even after our main meal, Morton's hospitality extended to our to-go order. I wanted to try the prime Cajun ribeye and I was not disappointed. The steak, cooked to perfection was a sensational.

Ana's exceptional service deserves recognition - a raise, if I may suggest. Additionally, every member of the waitstaff we encountered demonstrated excellence. Regrettably, I didn't catch the bartenders' names, but they also deserve recognition, especially since we concluded our evening at the bar with a few more delightful drinks. (Seasonal sangria for me).

The entire dining experience, marked by delectable dishes and impeccable service, ensures that I'll be making a return to Morton's Midtown very soon.

Great service and excellent food. Had 5:45 reservations before our 8:00 show. Tristan the waiter was excellent and very attentive. He answered all of our questions about what to order and his suggestions were dead on. Didn't have to wait for a drink as he was bringing them when he seen I was low. Our first experience trying this restaurant and he made it exceptionally special for us. When you go be prepared to eat because you will not leave hungry. Lol. Looking forward to going back and we will ask to have him as our server.

My husband and I came twice in one week because our first experience was so great! On a Monday at 6:45 it was relatively empty, quiet- with attentive service and top notch food. We did go for the Restaurant Week deal and found it to be a great value for 3 course + side item.

However, we were shocked to find our experience on a Thursday 6:45 to be so starkly different. The restaurant was packed, which was fine and honestly to be expected at a NY steakhouse in Midtown. But it seemed that the waitstaff and chefs simply couldn't manage the crowds.
We waited over an hour for appetizers, of which my salad came a good 20 mins before my family's. The meatball my husband raved about before came out undercooked and cold in the middle.
They then rushed our appetizers out of the way to serve us cold entrees- it really seemed they forgot to deliver our orders to the table; as the table next to us who sat at the same time was finishing their dessert and paying well before our entrees. We had ordered our steak with the butter options and it was delivered as we were taking the last bites of our steak.

Waiter was very overwhelmed and forgot simple things like sugar for the coffee.

It was honestly a bizarre experience and we still are puzzled what went so wrong last night. 3.5 hrs of confusion.

Suggest that they staff appropriately and work on more cohesive service or don't overbook reservations because it realllly takes away from the customer experience.

Had dinner here during a girls trip to NYC. Our waitress Lysa was very nice and recommended the Salmon Oscar.

Solid steakhouse that is very consistent with their food. Steaks have always been flavorful, as well as their sides too. Nice place for lunch, a date, special occasion, or a business meeting. Great service and overall really nice ambiance. My father and I love visiting this steakhouse.
