“Very good. Myself,my kids and grandkids loved everything that was served. Very friendly and welcoming.”
“Drinks , appetizers, mains and desserts are delicious here ! The margarita I order was too sugary to me. Keep that in mind, you can get sugar sick”
“If this review is helpful, please make sure you leave it a like 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. My family and I took my young cousin to Morton's steakhouse for his graduation dinner. The atmosphere was very friendly, and hospitality was A1. My Mom and I decided to split the tomahawk steak. It was cooked to perfection, very lovely. My cousin ordered the lobster, and he said he loved it. My other little cousin had the lamb chops for the first time and she said she really likes lamb now. We also had a side of the lobster, mac and cheese. It was delightful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who's looking for a fine dining experience here in the great, mighty metropolis of Chicago.”
“Great happy hour specials with great drinks and food specials. The bar staff are very friendly and helpful.”
“Happy Hour was amazing...food was amazing, drinks were amazing and the price for happy hour was amazing... $10 drinks and appetizers were priced pretty cheap.”
“We LOVED everything! The steaks were perfectly cooked, the sides were well portioned, bread was dough yet crispy to perfection, we each had a different dessert and loved them all, AND Melisandra, our server, gave 5 star service! Thank you for the recommendations and details about each dish!”
“This review is for the promotional they were running called Bubbles and Bites in the bar. This promo had been running the month of January and The Doctor, The Queen and I decided to go down and check it out. The idea of getting a "Happy Meal" in Veuve Clicquot boxes with a glass of Veuve had me dialed in. We got there at 4 pm and as we round the corner, I saw people already walking in. So glad we go there when we did be cause it filled up very quickly and I noticed that some spots at the bar and a few tables had reserve signs on them. Morton's Bubbles & Bites promotion paired a glass of Veuve Clicquot 'Yellow Label' or a Belvedere Martini with smash burger sliders (cheddar cheese, dill pickles, ‘Special Sauce,’ Brioche Bun) and matchstick fries with truffle and parmesan for $29. When you think about what a glass of Veuve cost, this was a steal as far as I was concerned. The burgers were their smash burgers and they were very good. I was happy to see the size of them, as along with the fries, it was easily a light dinner. As we didn't know at the time what we would be getting in terms of the portion, we also order the short rib tacos (braised short ribs, pickled red onion, sliced avocado, chipotle mayonnaise). The Happy Meals came out in these very cute Veuve Yellow boxes for the burgers and a fry holder for the fries. Both containers were placed on what looked like a charging plate with a serving of ketchup for the fries (nope nope nope). The burger, fries and tacos were delish and hit the spot for a light dinner. The short rib meat on the tacos was very tender and I loved the slice of fresh avocado. And there is no need to discuss how lovely the Veuve was as that goes without saying. Despite it being a full house at the bar, Emma (bartender) was totally on point in getting drinks and taking orders. She was not only working the bar, she was working the tables in the bar area as well. As it got closer to 5:30 pm, more help came in, but Emma was werking that area. Not sure what role Jesse played, but assumed he was a front room person since he and another gentleman were in suits, but helping out. Emma and Jesse (excuse me if that is not how you spell your name) were very responsive in taking care of us. We got to chat with Jesse a little bit about the promotion and I mentioned to him that I saw where Bubbles & Bites was unavailable in Atlanta from January 26-28. He didn't know why, I was just glad it was going strong in Chicago. Jesse mentioned that Morton's might be doing other theme related promotions like this centered around holidays, like St Pat's or Cinco de Mayo. I would definitely check those out. So glad we came out and had a great time with our Happy Meals. Looking forward to doing this promo next year. "Vive la différence"!”
“We stopped into Morton’s and tried the Adult Happy Meal, and honestly it’s a fun, solid win. Everything comes in their cute signature box, which sets the tone right away. The chicken sandwich was good, but the burger was really good—juicy, flavorful, and worth the trip back on its own. The fries are solid too, especially when they come out hot (worth confirming). The Veuve Clicquot was exactly what you expect—clean, crisp, and the perfect “fancy” pairing to wash it all down. I had my burger sauce on the side, my friend ordered giardiniera on the side, and we ended up trading—she used my sauce on her chicken sandwich, and I topped my burger with her pickled onions plus a touch of mustard. That combo alone made the visit worth it. Portions are generous: two larger-than-slider burgers and a good amount of fries, so if you’re not a big eater, this is easy to share or save for later. We were seated upstairs in the bar area, which was very clean and comfortable. Our server Hannah was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I didn’t catch the bartender’s name, but he was working that Saturday afternoon (1/17/26) and shaking cocktails like it mattered, and it showed. I ordered an extra drink, and it was one of the best lemon drops I’ve had: smooth, balanced, not overly sweet, and not too lemony. Great downtown spot to pop in and definitely worth a return visit.”
“The seafood tower appetizers were amazing. The Bleu cheese butter on your steak is amazing. The Oscar topping for your steak is also very good. Great wine list and cocktail menu.”
