Morton's of Chicago, The Steakhouse

Morton's Steakhouse

Been there to celebrate my best friend's birthday, and was very impressed by their service there! They specially prepared a set of menu for us with my friend's name on it, wishing her happy birthday!
Their staffs are very warm and friendly too! When we can't decide on what to order, they actually bring the whole tray of meat, slowly explained to us the difference in size and texture.
Their portion are super big so we decide to order 1 USDA steak, 1 Australia steak and 1 tuna to share, top up with oyster for starter, creamed spinach & mushroom for sides and souffle & chocolate cake for desserts.
The oysters are big and fresh, we couldn't resist attacking it once it's served so only managed to take a picture of the shell, sorry!
Their USDA steak is superb but we dun really like their australia steak because of the strong taste.
My friends find the tuna nice but I dun really like it cos it's a bit overcooked for me. I normally like my steak medium rare, salmon and tuna medium done, as I find them a bit too dry and tough if it's overcooked.
Their mushroom is good but the creamed spinach is not as good as Lawry's one.
Their chocolate cake is heavenly, lemon souffle is nice and fluffy but the chocolate souffle is not as good as the lemon 1 though.
When we are enjoying our dinner, there was 4 foreigners sitting at a table next to us, and 1 of them was having a totally RAW steak, red & bloody! I can imagine eating a thin slice of raw beef, but a whole big chunk of it.... eh....

    I don't think she meant it rare as in totally uncooked. Its very unhygenic to eat it that way. I've eaten at mortons a couple of times. Lobster definitely not the best. You should try Inagiku =)

    Should have ordered the double fillet mignon or double porterhouse. Its in a class of its own. And rare steak is very common. Used to eat my steak rare when I was overseas =)

    It was actually the supervisor that tell the staffs to tell my brother that there is corkage charge initially, but dun know later why he change his mind and come to tell us that he will waived off for us.
    We did got a $10 voucher but it was because my hubby pay by citibank card, but we may not visit there again cos it will remind me of the unhappiness.

    Oh ya, forgot to mention that they actually give 1 more free chocolate cake for my friend's birthday, so total we had 2 chocolate cake! So next time if you are celebrating your birthday there, dun need to order the chocolate cake, they will give free 1 and sing the birthday song for you too! :)

    I also prefer my salmon and tuna raw & my favourite type of salmon is actually smoked salmon, but some places they only served them cooked so the only way is to ask them to be medium done. :)

    Looks like the steak expert just brought some new juicy review :)~~~

    hmm.... raw beef...sounds like eating steak tartare like that...hahaha... not my cup of tea :P

    I love my steak medium rare too, but I prefer eating my tuna and salmon sashimi style :)

    Looks like you've covered the top 2 most most well known or maybe best steak house already.

    So what's next?

    I've never been to Chinatown food centre or Albert Street Temporary food centre so can't compare. Yup, it's "song fish head" steam with tau see style, and I love the pork lard on it, very crispy. ^o^

    How is the fish steam head compared to the ones at Chinatown food centre or there's another stall in Albert Street Temporary food centre? The steam fish head is "song fish head" steam with tau see style?

    I went to the tony roma's in singapore suntec city, the ribs is very nice & tender and the chocolate dessert is sinful! Dun like the corn soup though.

    Overall plus the cendol. I like the sauce but the crushed peanuts spoiled it and the fried stuffs too plain.
