Morton's - The Steakhouse

great experience at Mortons.

by wibadger at Citysearch

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

by london2k at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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.

Good for special occasions

by ihateknoxville at Citysearch

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

Just Perfect

by slt74 at Citysearch

I went to Morton's several weeks ago with some friends and family for my husband's birthday. I have to say that this place does not fail to impress. The food and wine were fabulous and that atmosphere very cozy and elegant. The service was also top notch. Everyone at out table just raved about everything! I would recommend this for anyone and will be back. I do have to agree with the previous poster that the dress code could be enforced a little better. I was surprised to see what some of the people were allowed to wear in.

• Pros: Excellent Food, Great Wine List, Top Notch Service

• Pros: Steaks, Atmosphere

Treat Your Daughter on her 16th or 18thy Birthday

by nhisfavor at Citysearch

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

Always the best

by 1jay2 at Citysearch

We have lived in Nashville for 6 years and based on our experience and knowledge, Morton's is head over heels the best Steakhouse in town. The staff is superb and matches the quality of the food.

We are always treated like we are Royalty and when I want to take out a client or treat ourselves, we always go to Morton's.

Ask for Cory or Paige they make quite a team.

• Pros: the best steaks, the best management, the best staff
