- LLeoHouston •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoEverything was excellent, the restaurant is lovely, service very attentive and the food was prepared perfectly, the steak was so tender, my wife said, “it was like butter.” It was an absolutely delicious anniversary dinner for my wife and I, and the little rose petals were a nice touch as well.More infoMorton's The Steakhouse - Houston - DowntownPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.8

- JJonathanLas Vegas •3 reviews4.0Dined on Feb 15, 2025Tarsha was an excellent server (though very busy, so we rarely saw her). The management team was stellar in delivering food and checking in. Everyone there was really great. The food was not worth the price point, in my opinion, even on Valentine's Day. The venue itself is gorgeous.More infoMain KitchenPrice: Expensive• American• Downtown•4.7
