My coworkers and I went here for a dinner after work. The interior is so pretty and well decorated…read more I love all the chandeliers and the plants (fake, but it works!) I like the complementary garlic bread. We got the chip to share and it's so good! So crispy and thin! The aioli is really good too. I got the branzino as my entree. I asked for whole. It was perfectly cooked. The parmesan crust was perfect and it was well seasoned too. I was told it's like 90% deboned. I wasn't too worried about seeing bones considering I asked for it whole. It was accompanied by garlic noodles and broccolini. I think the addition of the pasta was perfect. Most of the time the fish by itself with a vegetable doesn't really fill you up. As for dessert, we also got a few to share. I can't remember the names of all of them, but I think the cheesecake is banana foster? It was pretty good. The cake was like a lemon mousse? We liked that one too. I don't remember the name of the ice cream, but it was my first time trying it. It was interesting mix of flavors, it's not my favorite. We all want to go back to try other menu items, considering how close it is to work too!

We had caviar and drinks that were served in fun glasses and were topped with pretty little flowers. The whole experience really blew us away!

We had reservations for 9pm and were able to be seated straight away. We arrived to find the address brought us to a barber shop. Fortunately, my husband had done some research and knew the drill--we made our way to a organ against a brick looking wall. On top of the organ was a bell--we rang the bell and shortly after the brick wall swung open and a woman came out to greet us. She had us play a tune on the organ and then brought us back into the speakeasy. The vibes are pitch perfect. Dimly lit with candles on tables and artful films playing on screens. We loved it. We were greeted straight away and brought water. You can also get a full meal here which we did not know but noted for our next visit. They had a special Valentine's menu as well as their regular cocktail menu. For my first cocktail, I got the paper plane which was light, lemony, and lovely with the adorable touch of a small paper plane pinned to the cocktail with a clothespin. For my second, I got one of their Valentine's specials which was essentially a Boulevardier made with a small float of mezcal on top. What an amazing addition to this classic cocktail! Truly, gave it added dimension, depth, and smoky flavor. I loved it. We also enjoyed their Valentine's dessert special, which was princess cake. It was a lovely blend of tart raspberry and warm almond--we loved it! The service was lovely throughout our experience. Get to it!

The rest of the dishes were good especially if you're a fan of onions!

I certainly wanted to love this place - the ambiance reminds me of the numerous bars scattered…read morethroughout northern Wisconsin lake country. Knotty pine on the walls and fish mounts every direction that you look. I started with an Old Fashion that checked the box, and the famed Shrimp Cocktail. The shrimp cocktail was five large shrimp that were firm in texture and clearly fresh. The cocktail sauce tasted like it was from a bottle, it wasn't terrible, but certainly not made in house. The burger was straightforward and the beef was high quality but it desperately needs seasoning (salt and pepper for goodness sake). I ordered my burger with Swiss cheese, that probably wasn't the right choice, American would've been better. The grilled onions were cooked well, but again just a sprinkle of salt would elevate the burger. The bacon was crispy, which was welcomed because the rest of the burger experience was just - meh. My tab was $48 and some change, which isn't terrible in today's economy, however, I've had $48 meals elsewhere that were head and shoulders above. It was clear that this is a long standing tradition in the area, but the food taste is stuck in the past.

I visited here on a recent Friday with a group of almost a dozen and had a great time. We had a…read morelarge table (not sure is someone reserved it or not) looking right out onto Roger Williams ave. We had plenty of room and it was nice to have delicious beer, good food, and a pleasant view of this part of Highland Park. I've been here before when it had a different name, but it seems like little has changed. This is a well warn bar! Comfy seats at the bar and a smattering of booths and table with a homey feel - lots of wood and available light from the large front window. This is not a huge room by any means but it never felt crowded. Our group had mostly apps like guac and chips and a quesadilla or two. I tried a Kolsch lager and a Marzen lager both if which were a little cheaper than usual due to the Happy Hour Special of $5 a beer. Margaritas are $6 at Happy Hour. The beer was very good! We had a great waiter and being seated just a few feet from the bar meant no one went thirsty or hungry for long. On past visits I was seated on the back patio but we had rain on this most recent visit, and it's also March! (Patio season does not start in the Chicago area for at least another month or month and a half!) The patio is a nice little wood fenced in area with lots of tables and a back tap bar. Not sure if that set-up is still the same.... This is a great local bar with a lot of rustic, homey charm. I'd definitely recommend if you want good local beer in a friendly old-school bar.

We got the burger and truffle fries to share, along with / rolls and the karrage chicken. The burger was good with the caramelized onions but nothing significant to write home about. My favorite items though were the truffle fries, and the hot honey karaage we asked for the honey on the side so that we're able to share with our little but it was super crispy, and the chicken bites were juicy and delicious it didn't even need the honey. I truthfully don't love pickles but the pickles were delicious and I ate them all! The sushi rolls were both really fresh and had great flavor. Overall a good experience I'd like to come back during regular hours to try their regular menu. We were a bit disappointed that the only available menu was the happy hour one which was pretty limited.

They have a nice patio although we always sit inside. The menu is surprisingly varied. You can get ribs, fajitas, wraps, burgers, etc. My friends love the ribs. I tried the fajitas and they were just ok. They don't come out super hot like you get at a mexican restaurant. Waitstaff is mainly college age adults and man they are slow. My buddies swear they aren't this slow normally but 2 times in a row, I'm not sure. It's hard to be there for less than 90 minutes for lunch. I get that we have a big group, but I don't think the kitchen can handle that many orders on a weekend quickly. The rest of the place was less than half full.

So the food was decent, the majority of them were overly oily.

It finally came to the table when the rest of us were almost finished eating our meals. This is not an acceptable practice.

Morton's made it extra special by printing Happy 12th Anniversary on our menu. Our waitress Cece was phenomenal!!! I cannot say enough about her. Her presence, kindness and prompt service was beyond our expectations. She made our night so special by congratulating, and complementing us and she was SO attentive...to top it off she gave us a free slice of key lime pie which was devine! We had the steakhouse wedge and split it and the split portion was so large that we were starting to fill up on the salad. It was excellent. Now to the main event, the 8oz filet which I ordered medium rare plus was one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. The sour cream mashed potatoes and broccolini were perfect sides. I would go back here and order this whole meal if I could!! Highly recommend this Morton's location and request Cece as your server you won't be disappointed!
