| Remember when a fine steak was the sign of fine dining? That is still the case at the elegant Morton’s The Steakhouse. Morton’s occupies the epicenter of the downtown visitors' circuit, in a space that follows every code of steakhouse design: the lights are dimmed; the booths are plush; the woods are dark mahogany. Well-healed regulars may lease their own private wine lockers. The steak selection is safe and solid, offering just about every cut of USDA Prime wet-aged beef a carnivore could crave. Shrimp cocktail appetizers, Caesar salads and vegetable and potato side dishes are as dependable as a one-dollar bill. And at the end of such meals, nothing could taste more appropriate than the molten Godiva chocolate cake or the Grand Marnier soufflé. Given the menu, the wine list focuses on red wines, especially from California and Italy, with support notes from France, Spain and Down Under. Unfortunately, this cookie-cutter steakhouse sits smack dab in the center of a city with its own unique food culture. Still, it holds up well against its competitors. Show up early for the happy hour, where tender mini-filet sandwiches are served. |
