Morton’s Seattle location maintains the exclusive, expensive vibe of the swanky steakhouse chain. Hidden down a flight of stairs in the vintage Decatur Building, Morton’s feels like a retro men’s club with dark polished cherry wood walls and low lighting. That it attracts a well-heeled, expense account crowd goes without saying. But the crowds pour in, and Morton’s formula is simple and successful: use only high-quality ingredients, offer professional service from waiters in tuxedos, and hire chefs trained to know the precise difference between medium rare and medium. No wonder then that the juicy, well-marbled New York strip steak arrives cooked to order. Fish shows up on the menu too: swordfish shines under a béarnaise sauce. Lobster bisque is brimming with shellfish flavor and nicely edged with a kick of cayenne. Scallops wrapped in bacon are sweet, salty and smoky. Lyonnaise potatoes or steamed asparagus with hollandaise sauce are fine à la carte accompaniments. Finish a meal with a Grand Marnier soufflé. Morton’s pricey wine list has a global focus. Classic cocktails are well-prepared and popular during happy hour.
