| 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. It is the kind of place where well-healed regular patrons can lease their own private wine lockers, and the soundtrack plays Frank Sinatra. The steak selection is safe and solid, offering just about every cut of USDA Prime wet-aged beef a carnivore could think to 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. The only catch is that 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, and the urban-chic atmosphere is inviting and sophisticated. Show up early for the happy hour, where tender mini-filet sandwiches are served. |
