Treat Your Daughter on her 16th or 18thy Birthday

The wife and I have visited Morton's for several years and have had numerous pleasant experiences. A very nice night out with the wife, enjoying service, food and wine. I chose this establishment to celebrate our duaghter's, we have two, 16th and 18th birthday... simply a night out with dad. I'll never forget the dinning experience the girls left with, a true experiencial evening that each still share.
Steaks, and Seafood are excellent, however, the complements are quite expensive. Service has always been exceptional. Tables are located somewhat too close and atmosphere may become somewhat loud if wishing to have a quite dinner with the wife. Be prepared that someone close to you may light up a cigar, and what a way to destroy a meal.
- Pros: great Steaks, Great Seafood, Great Service
- Cons: Cigar Smoke, Loud, Expensive side dishes

Little surprised by the price but it was a special occasion so i figured it was worth it. Both my husband and I got the smaller steaks just because we would never finish a monster one. Mine was the filet and it was just average - basically could compare it to a good steak at a cheap steak chain restaurant. My husbands was the ribeye and it was aweful. Full of fat and not even a good flavor what little meat there was. If it matters at this point, the service was very good.
Dimly lit Steakhouse

My husband and I went to Mortons for our 3 year wedding anniversary. My husband was able to book the reservation online which was really nice. We got there at 6:00 and were seated right away. One of the first things we noticed was it was very dimly lit. I guess its for ambiance but I just felt like they needed to turn some lights on. The server was very nice. He went over the different cuts of meat. We found on their website a steak and seafood special for 2 for $99.00. Which when we got there we realized was a tremendous deal. The filet itself was $37.50 and each side which we got 2 were $10.00 each. It also came with salad and dessert. The salads were salads, nothing too special. The steak wasn't the best we had ever had. I'm not big on seafood so I won't comment on it. We had the mashed potatoes and asparagus as sides. The mashed potatoes were bland and asparagus was good. For dessert we both had the Morton's Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake. It was nice and warm and gooey. I hate to say it but it was similar to but wasn't as good as Chili's Molten Chocolate Cake.
- Pros: Very nice, classy place for a special occassion
- Cons: The special we ordered was a good deal but probably not the best food they have.

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.
great experience at Mortons.

Mortons is really a great night out! My wife and I went this weekend and we both thought we experienced one of the best dinners we have ever had! The steak was absolutely the best.not to mention the salad and desserts. I also did a search on their web site and found a coupon for 99.00 that offered everything from start to finish. (except the drinks!).
I think the alcohol costs would actually be the only negative about the entire evening. The cost of wine and drinks are considerably higher than any other dining experience.
We managed to escape for just under $200.00 but we felt like the occational visit was worth the cost.
Much better experience than some of the other highly recommended places for steak and seafood in town.. Atmosphere is a little dark but acceptable..
- Pros: Excellent dinner, great staff!
- Cons: Cost of wine and alcohol considerably higher than other resturants in town
The Gold Standard

Nothing compares to Morton's in my experience. The steaks are great (be careful not to be too enthusiastic in ordering "char" on the outside or they will come nuked). The shrimp Alexander is a GREAT first course. The crab cocktail, despite its simplicity is utterly perfect. Tomato with a fantastic blue cheese dressing is sublime. And of course...the molten chocolate cake is off the charts (and the apple pie ain't bad either).
I can't imagine how Ruth's Chis is mentioned in the same breath as Mortons. To quote Larry Holmes, it couldn't carry Morton's jockstrap.
- Pros: The best steakhouse in existence. Period
- Cons: It's not cheap...but worth every penny
Really is the best steak in Nashville
by jmack00

Morton's is definitely worth it. It has the best steaks in Nashville, very generous portions and an incredible atmosphere. They opened their new Bar 12-21 in June. Before I wasn't a big fan of Morton's Bar, but with the new Bar 12-21, my opinion has completely changed. Bar 12-21 is a great place to have some drinks and you'll probably see some of Nashville's best there. Insider's tip: Be sure to check out the bar at 5:00 ? 6:30 p.m. and from 9:30 to 11:00 p.m. because most menu items in Morton?s Bar 12-21 are just $4.00. This includes Mini Cheeseburgers, Petite Filet Mignon Sandwiches, Chicken Goujonettes, Crab, Spinach & Artichoke Dip and Blue Cheese French Fries.
I highly recommend Morton's for the best steaks, drinks (try a trademark Mortini) and as a great place to be seen.
Fiance loves it

Took my fiance for her birthday in April. Received outstanding service. Ask to be seated in Marias section, she's on the top of her game. Romantic atmosphere.
- Pros: best steak in Nashville
- Cons: a little expensive
Good for special occasions

We went here a couple of weeks ago for our first wedding anniversary. Everything was fantastic. The service and the food were all top quality (each ordered a salad, filet, and had dessert). The restaurant was actually fairly small (maybe half the size of a typical chain restaurant), which made for a quieter, less hectic atmosphere. I also would not worry about a dress code, the reservations desk said business casual, but while we were I would say 65% were in jeans and a button down shirt (more like Friday business casual). The only thing that was strange is that they cut me off after 4 beers. My wife was the designated driver and was not drinking at all, and 4 beers is not a lot. I am not upset, but it is rather strange.
- Pros: Great Steak
- Cons: Not a place to do some drinking
Third visit and very disappointed...

First off, I have eaten at Morton's on several occasions before and had great meals. This the third time Feb 23rd was not one of them. Let me also say that the entire meal was not totally mediocre. Let me start with the negative. Obviously my main reason to ever going to Morton's is for their filet. I always order mine prepared medium. The steak arrived very dark on the outside and cold and bloody on the inside. I then sent the steak back. It arrived twice as black on the outside with no change of color nor temp on the inside. I have eaten steaks at numerous restaurants from Bones (Atlanta), Chop House (Chicago) and Morton's here in Nashville, I know what a medium steak should look like. I asked the waiter if this was there typical medium and she replied yes and went about her business. She could obviously tell I was not pleased with it. For a $200 meal for two, I would expect better service. Now on to the remainder of the meal. I also had the Crab Legs. These were excellent and possibly the best I have ever had. The Morton's salad is always excellent as well. The wine was nice, and as usual the atmosphere was great. Being that I frequent these types of steakhouses for the filet and the fact it was extremely disappointing, I am giving this visit an average rating. This was one of my favorite restaurants in Nashville, but I will probably not be going back for a while now. As for steaks in the Nashville area, I have still yet to have a bad or disappointing experience at Flemings and still reign it king of the filet in Nashville.
- Pros: Excellent crab legs, Excellent atmosphere....
- Cons: Very bad Filet experience with no help from waiting staff...
