Overrated! Took a while for food to come. Ordered medium well ribeye and it came like this. More like burnt ribeye! Worst than a well done for me. Was surprised on how small the steak came out too. Not worth it for the price. Service was ok, i can't even say he's good. Its my wife's bday also, but nothing special at all was given to her. We ordered a desert, but server said they dont do any lettering or whatsoever on the desert. So disappointed! Oh well, after paying $700, not coming back here for sure. For the rest of my life!

We were a little disappointed with the service and temperature of our food. For some reason our server (Ben) was not as attentive as we would expect at Morton's. On numerous occasions we had to ask for things like bread a dessert menu, etc. When our food arrived it was just warm, not hot like we want it to be.

Everything was great except the creepy manager who felt he should stare at my fiancé’s cleavage multiple times throughout the night. From the moment we walked in to the multiple times he came to our table. It was pretty pathetic and even more disturbing how obvious it was.

The service was great and the food was awesome. All four of us enjoyed the appetizer (grilled oyster casino) steaks, lobsters and drinks overall. It's a place to go for a relaxing meal, not to hurry through. You might want to use your flashlight on the phone as the lighting can make it a little hard to see the menu...but that's okay. Will definitely come back for a special occasion. We expected it to be pricey, but it was worth it!

Surprisingly, the food and wine were the worst part of the meal. The glass of wine we ordered to complement the bottle we brought was served lukewarm; the “prime” NY Steak seemed to lack flavor even with the blue cheese butter. However the sides, appetizers and dessert were very good and the service was excellent. The lobster bisque was outstanding, corkage was $35. Recommended if you order a different steak.

Celebrating my wife’s birthday, we chose Morton’s, as we had done many times in the past as the venue of choice. Rarely have we been disappointed with our choice. Unfortunately, this visit will be memorable for a number of negatives. The bread, an item my wife and l have always enjoyed, was hard, doughy, and tasteless. The replacement basket was no better. Our server said that she would let her manager know. Our soup and salad course was adequate. For our entree, my wife and I asked for an “off the menu” item consisting of 3 scallops and 3 shrimp. To simply things we both ordered the same dish. As our server was taking our order, I mentioned that I had received an ad from Morton’s featuring a 3 course menu with steak and lobster at a fixed price. The ad is supposedly effective from Jan1 through June 23, 2023. Our server said that she would ask her manager if this was an option that we could be available to us. Several minutes later we were informed that both she and the manager were not aware of any such offer. Finally, I had brought a bottle of one of my personal favorite wines. I have no problem with corkage fees but I think that our server could have done more than opening the bottle, putting it on ice, pouring a tablespoons worth into each glass. From that point forward, I had to slide out of the booth and serve my own wine. Overall, it was a disappointing evening . Incidentally, our shrimps on the entre were seriously overcooked , making them extremely rubbery. I think that our server and her manager who we never met, could have more attentive to our requests If possible, could you forward this entire “grievance” to the Manager of Morton’s Santa Ana, CA. Thank you. Kenneth Thornton

Everything was great but, if you're thinking about going just because of the soufflé, you're going to be disappointed! They don't have it on the menu anymore 😞 other than that we were pleased.

No Ambience especially for a NYE, our server was no where to be found even while the restaurant wasn't busy, steak was requested to be medium-well, came out rare (both of them). I expected much more for fine-dinning...oh, and I was on the "vip" list from what I understand.

First time here.....extremely disappointed. Service was good but the food was not. All of our steaks lacked seasoning. Sides were OK. Desserts were lackluster. Key lime pie had a funny taste to it and small. Bread pudding was dry. I feel bad because our friends wanted to go to the Water Grill and I convinced them to go to Mortons across the street. Too many other restaurant choices that do a much better job. I also found out that I did not earn the 100 points for making the reservation through Open Table. Not sure why. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

The food is amazing. The steaks are perfection. Generally their service is exceptional but when they have a large crowd around the holidays, it suffers. Very very busy. We went at 5 o’clock on a Friday when they first opened and it was still unbearably noisy; you could hardly hear yourself talk.

Our server, Christy, was FABULOUS. Of course, so was the food, the atmosphere and everything about our visit. Hubby had lobster tail with a small filet and the sour cream mashed potatoes. All served hot and delectable. My wedge salad was ice cold and unbelievably tasty (for iceberg lettuce!) Baked potato was huge and perfectly cooked. We always enjoy Morton's and will be back soon. Thank you!!

We ate at the bar and it was understaffed. Just one bartender for a full house. Also, the bar used to be closed off from the restaurant. Awful now, and we won't be back. Way too noisy.......and it lost it's intimacy. I doubt if the dining room guest like the new layout either. Guests expect better atmosphere for he prices you charge. Not a good idea.

They must've been understaffed, as my appetizer was never delivered. We asked for sides for a table for six & received a tiny portion of asparagus, which gave everyone at table one each and a spoon of mash [lol]. We would have been happy to order more if advised to do so. Even though I didn't receive my appetizer, it was still on the bill. Generally, you need to be better when you are charged $1,200 for six people! I know it's OC, but for $1,200, I expect to be wowed.

Granted it was Christmas but 1st they were out of bread but didn't tell us until we asked because we had been there an hour with just our drinks, the bread was offered when we made our drink order. The seafood tower was amazing as well as the salads. Our steaks and sides took another 30 min. The steaks were very rare, we ordered med/rare. The asparagus was way overcooked, and mushy. Then they let us know the other side we ordered was no longer available. They offered 2 sides in its place and didn't charge us for those. The service was great and I'm thankful to have not had to cook on xmas for our small family of 5 but the food was sub-par for Morton's usual quality.

Unfortunately due to a computer error with the restaurant's order system, our dinner was delayed (however we were not the only one). One of the managers came to a number of tables (including ours) to apologize for the delay. The food itself was great; however the delay came after we got our soup but before we got our main dish & sides. They were able to discount our bill $66 due to the delays. Our server, when we asked for 2 to-go boxes, boxed our steaks together and the side (onion rings) in another box; I thought she would've boxed my steak & onion rings in 1 box, and my lady friend's steak in another. She had to get a 3rd box for my steak. I suppose I should have been more specific on which goes in which to-go box. I do give credit to one of the female managers who was dressed in a red dress helping out with plating the orders during the delays; at least she was dressed for the occasion (Christmas night dinner). If it weren't Christmas night, we might have gone somewhere else to eat after we were informed of the delays; however since most restaurants are closed Christmas Day, we stuck it out and were rewarded with the $66 discount. Next time I will check with them to make sure their computer system doesn't that glitch again.

My family has come to Morton's for holiday dinners in the past and had wonderful experiences. Tonight, unfortunately, was the complete opposite. Despite having a reservation, it took 20 minutes to be seated. Then, it took more than an hour and a half for our food to be brought out. It was clear that the restaurant was overbooked and understaffed which is difficult to sympathize with when paying the high prices of Morton's. I will not be returning to Morton's after this experience as it unfortunately very poorly managed and not worth the price.

This is where I’ve spent every Christmas for the last 7 years but tonight was a disappointment. My reservation was for 6pm and they were so overbooked that it was 8:15pm by the time I got my steak (which was cooked to perfection but came out COLD). I spent over 1 1/2 hours eating a baguette. They mistakenly sent out a large seafood tower instead of a small (which would have been great if I ate seafood…I don’t) So my husband force fed himself through it as best he could…then couldn’t eat his steak and lobster he ordered to go with my cold meal. I asked them to pack it all up so I could hopefully make something out of it all for breakfast the next morning (and serve it warm). I ordered dessert as always then decided to cancel it because it most likely would have been another hour before that came out. I love Morton’s but something went very wrong this year. Rethinking my Christmas dinner reservation now for 2023. I wanted my warm Morton’s chocolate cake so bad for Christmas…and didn’t get it. It was a disappointing $400 meal this year.

Restaurant was very busy as it was Christmas Day. We had only short delay in seating with our reservation, my wife enjoyed a martini at the bar while we waited. Food exceptional on a busy holiday with bit longer wait for entrees, service exceptional and ambiance was perfect for Christmas. For us, it doesn’t matter which Morton’s you visit in this country, you can expect high quality food at fair price relatively speaking.

Understanding that food quality in chain restaurants is not always consistent, for whatever reason the food overall at this Morton's was terrible. The sea bass was ok, but the salmon was refrigerator cold and the steak barely acceptable. We made reservations a couple of months ago for Christmas Day for 6 people and we arrived on time, but the host had us down for 10 people and asked who cancelled until I showed her my Open Tabe reservation that documented 6 people. We ended up waiting at least 20 minutes while they changed our table assignment, while they sat 3 different parties with later reservations. We understand the chaos that can surround a holiday, but they appeared to be well staffed.....definetely a poor value for the money.
