    My Wife & I went to dinner for valentines and we had a lovely experience there. The atmosphere was so elegant and relaxing. To start, we tried the crab cakes, unsure of seafood and they turned out to be amazing. We then both ordered a Filet Minot with the Diablo Shrimp over the top, with a side of mac and asparagus. So delicious. Because it was anniversary, we were also gifted some Wycliff by Dave towards the end of our first visit there. We will definitely be going back!

    Morton’s never disappoints! The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and professional from start to finish. We ordered the 36-ounce porterhouse for the table, cooked to a perfect medium, and it was absolutely phenomenal—juicy, flavorful, and expertly prepared. I highly recommend pairing the mashed potatoes with the cognac sauce au poivre—it takes them to the next level! A fantastic dining experience all around. Can’t wait to return!

    Happy hour looked like a great deal! We sat at the bar while waiting for our table. It’s such a treat coming here. Service is always impeccable. The spaghetti squash dish was sincerely out of this world. We split a steak and the squash and it was amazing. The Caesar salad had an anchovy across the top it looked intimidating but I tested it was not prepared for it to be such a good addition. Usually it’s minced into the dressing and is well covered. We went to Eddy V’s the night before. (Which was really good) But Hands down Island Prime for the win.
