Editorial Review for Morton's - The Steakhouse – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
With its dark wood details, celebrity photos and tuxedo-clad waiters, this upscale steakhouse chain has the air of a posh men's club. Service is professional and discreet, with bartenders making a mean martini. Dinners begin with a waiter-driven cart laden with fresh vegetables, live lobster and cuts of steak; customers choose from porterhouse, rib-eye, bone-in prime rib and more. Side dishes are traditional and enormous, from baked potatoes and creamed spinach to steamed broccoli with hollandaise.

I've had several enjoyable experiences at the Mortons location in the galleria. Unfortunately, we could not get a Valentine's Day reservation at that location and decided to give the dowtown location a try. We started by ordering a bottle of wine (which was the best part of the dinner). As our waiter, who will remain nameless because unlike him I will exercise class, approached our table with the dinner cart, my fiance presented him with a promotional coupon ($99 for two, which is posted on the website). I thought we were being respectful of his time but I can not put into words the look of disgust he gave us. We were immediately asked "what do you want" before our bottle even arrived at the table. Since we did not yet decide on our entrees at this point, we both ordered salads. Our salad is immediately RUSHED out before we even received our bottle of wine. Our waiter comes back, and again, asks us if we are ready to order. My fiance politely asked him not to rush us and he eventually got the picture. As I attempted to enjoy my wine, I witnessed my waiter confront another waiter over a table. Moments later we ordered and requested our filets medium rare and medium, respectively. We were given 2 medium well steaks. At this point, I was so digusted with the way we were treated that I did not want to waste my time speaking to the manager. Morton's has a strong commitment to excellence and prides itself on service. Unfortunately, my waiter did not feel the same way. I will continue to dine at galleria location and will never return to this location again.
Pros: This is not the only Morton's Houston location
Cons: rude waiter, steaks overcooked (probably waiter's revenge for using coupon)

The steak here is really good. I had the fielt mignon and tried the bone-in ribeye (which tasted much better than my filet) and the porterhouse, which was also really good. The creamed spinach side was good, and the grilled asparagus is something I recommend. The bread here is incredible and I caution against eating too much of it because it can really fill you up. Lobster bisque was very mediocre to my dissapointment. Steak gets cold much faster than it should. Overall, a good restaurant, but doesn't really compare well with the other steak restaurants in Houston. I'll return with the corporate card, but probably not my personal.
