    Enjoyed a meal prior to a show at Playhouse Square with family. Menu is unique with something for everyone. I enjoyed perfectly cooked salmon with delicious sauce, others in the party thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We were also visited by a friar expressing appreciation during our dinner. Service attentive and friendly. It was a tremendous pleasure to support this restaurant. Thank you!

    This was our first visit to Betts. My wife and I stopped in for dinner on a Friday before catching a show at the Playhouse. We had 4:30 reservations, though being that early, there was ample seating available, as they were just starting to get busy. Portions were good, and prices were more than reasonable for the area, quality, and service offered. Our servers, Quinton and Damian, (I hope I got their names correct as they certainly deserve recognition) were absolutely amazing. Incredibly friendly, efficient, and beyond helpful. The staff really sets the feel for a place, and the crew at Betts really made for a wonderful evening. We felt so comfortable and relaxed, not once feeling rushed or forgotten. Whoever hired the staff found some excellent talent for sure. The drinks were on-point, being well crafted, with the perfect balance of a strong pour while maintaining smooth, well-balanced flavors. I opted for the bourbon mule after a recommendation from our server, and it was an excellent choice. So good. We shared the hot and spicy shrimp appetizer. The shrimp were huge, with the perfect amount of smokey, spicy kick, tender and absolutely delicious, with buttery garlic bread as the perfect accompaniment. For our main course, my wife ordered the tuna poke bowl (her go-to anywhere...), while was feeling a simple handheld so opted for the chef's hot chicken sammie. Both were perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. I also liked the option of choosing a small wedge salad for my side as opposed to the usual fries or chips. It was very good as well, and I liked the lighter option. We felt full before we could finish our meals, so we never made it to dessert, unfortunately, but we will visiting again soon, I'm sure. (I need to have that lobster roll...) Great restaurant, nothing but positive takeaways, highly recommend.

    We had one of the best fine dining experiences at Pier W. My husband is on a very restrictive diet and I eat extremely clean. Our server, Samantha, was absolutely outstanding!!! Once we told her about our dietary needs/wishes, she immediately suggested we customize our dishes. We did and the chef did an awesome job! Samantha is as pleasant as she is knowledgeable. The atmosphere is amazing and everyone we came in contact with seemed happy to be there! Thank you for the experience!!! Can’t wait to return!

    It quite a busy evening with the red hot Cavaliers game happening the same night as our date at the theater, but our lovely server was attentive and kept a great pace for our meal, all the while keeping us informed of the progress of our order. From beginning to end, we were warmly welcomed and thanked for dining with Morton’s. We enjoyed the fillet and crab cake special with bernaise sauce and a loaded baked potato. We finished the evening off with crème brûlée. With an extensive wine list, it’s easy to find one you’ll enjoy. We consistently come here before the theater because we can count of Morton’s to get us out on time.
