Morton's - The Steakhouse

07/01/2008 Posted by Turgidity

i'm not sure why anyone would compare morton's to ruth's chris. morton's easily has better service, better food, and premium steaks. the ribeye here is simply addictive. i go once a month and have never seen anything but perfection presented on my plate. if you love ribeye, this is the place.

Pros: the ribeye is amazing!

Cons: occasionally you'll see some retard dining in sweatpants.

I'm not sure what happened the night previous poster Eloy went to Morton's, but I have always had divine food and fabulous service at Morton's. It is a great place for Steaks, Seafood, and some of the most amazing vegetable dishes and desserts around. Some people unfamiliar with Morton's signature steaks think their steaks are burned; in actuality if you'll take a minute to cut into them you'll realize that their unique cooking method seals in the juices and flavors like nobody else. I also LOVE their Colossal Shrimp and their Ocean platters. Secret info: The bar offers FREE petite filet mignon sandwiches from 5-5:30 weekends...so you can buy a drink and enjoy their yummy steak for a pittance of price. I'm not a fan of the butter slathered steaks of Ruths Chris..and am a diehard Morton's fan. I thought it would be an intimidating experience, but the wait staff is so friendly and helpful it is always an enjoyable time whether I go with a group of friends or my boyfriend.

Pros: wonderful steaks and seafood and a great bar

Cons: reputation for being "hoity toity" which it is NOT!

Thought this would be great for an anniversary dinner. Wrong. The service was lousy, they burned 2 $50 dollar steaks. I ate about a third of my steak and could no longer wash away the charcoal burnt taste with my cold beer, my wife wouldn't even touch her steak after she tasted it. She opted to only eat her salad. Service was so lousy we were seated at 10:00 pm and after our salad we had to flag down waiters to get more drinks, as they do not have a dedicated server for you. By the time we received our burnt steaks it was already 11:30 pm. It took them about an hour to burn and serve our steaks. We left there hungry after 11:30 PM and had to settle for Denny's. The only good thing was after complaining to the manager they ate the $148.00 bill. I will never go back. Here are some of the better steakhouses I have taken my wife to for Anniversaries and was very pleased with service and food. Grey Moss Inn - Awsome open flame cooked steaks - Very Romantic setting Ruth's Chris Steak House - They never disappoint Little Rhein Steak House - Not romantic but good food Texas Land & Cattle Steakhouse Saltgrass Steak House I hope I save someone a bad experience and a few $$$.

Pros: They make a pretty good margarita, WHO DOESN'T

Cons: The service & food

Cons: , a la carte pricing

They need to enforce the same rules that other Morton's around the nation have, attire is Business Class or higher or no entrance. Also, strollers should not be allowed at tables. I know the Riverwalk is tourist, but the class of the restaurant should still remain.

Pros: Food, Service

This is the best beef you can find in a San Antonio steakhouse. The service ranks in the top 5 in SA as well. Not recommended for those of you who don't like to spend $30+ on a steak. Make sure you pre-order the souffle - you just cannot go wrong.

My husband and I have moved from San Antonio and the only thing we miss is Morton's! It was by far the best restaurant there. The service was impecable! We have traveled all over the world and eaten in countless restaurants. I have NEVER gotten the kind of service I've gotten at Morton's, ANY PLACE ELSE!!! They anticipated your every want, was there when you needed them, and disappeared when you wanted privacy. The food is mouth watering and the Godiva cake is TO-DIE-FOR!

Pros: Great Service, Great Food, Attentive Wait Staff

Cons: Expensive/worth it!

We waited over an hour and had reservations. When we were seated the services was extremely slow. I would not recommend this resturant to anyone.

Cons: Impersonal, VERY EXPENSIVE, SLOW

The place is over rated and over priced. Food was very good, but compared to comparable restaurants in town, Morton's is overpriced. And better double check you bill, ours had errors and gross over charges.

One of the best dinning experiences in town. Food is excellent and wine list is very complete.
