    A little gem. Food was delicious, and the dessert was a pleasant surprise. It had been on my list for a while and my only regret was not going sooner.

    Had a truly unforgettable evening at Morton’s. I arrived early for a special “date night” with my daughter, and everything was spot on — the sommelier was excellent, our server was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect. Thank you to the entire team for making this night so memorable for both of us. See you soon

    A wonderful and romantic place to have dinner or even just cocktails. The service was wonderful. I had a small issue with my main course (I ordered the seafood fettuccine and the mussels were missing). The server offered to remake it for me but I didn't want them to go through the trouble. They were very attentive and apologetic and in place of my having them remake it, they offered me free dessert without my asking for anything. Very nice. Even without the mussels, the dish was superb. My husband's steak was perfectly seasoned and prepared. There was a classy chic vibe about the establishment with really nice with low-key music and some of the best views you'll have of San Juan. I very highly encourage going. You won't regret the experience. A suggestion: it can be breezy, so be sure to have a hair clip or band if you have longer hair.
