    Morton's is my go-to for any occasion. Date night? Morton's. Birthday? Morton's. Anniversary? Morton's. Just because? Morton's. The Ala Moana location also has convenient parking, which is always a plus. My family from the East Coast was visiting and wanted their last dinner on the island to be at a steakhouse, so Morton's was an easy choice. They're pretty picky eaters who usually stick to steak, burgers, and chicken and aren't into local food, but everyone found something they liked. Even my grandpa, who is an EXTRA picky eater and barely eats much, finished his entire sea bass and potatoes au gratin. We went during Memorial Day weekend, so they had a $79 per person special that included a starter, entree, enhancement, side, and dessert. It was a really good deal for the amount of food you get. I usually order the ribeye, but the special convinced me to try the filet mignon instead, and it did not disappoint. I also tried the truffle butter enhancement for the first time and it was SO good. If you like your steak medium rare, order it medium rare plus** (if you know, you know.) It comes out perfect every time. I also love their mashed potatoes and mushroom/spinach side. The sides are huge and can easily feed 2/maybe 3 people, so we even had leftovers for the next day. I would say if there's no holiday special or celebratory special, it comes out to about $100/person that's worth every penny. The lighting is dim but sets a nice vibe, the servers are always professional, and they have private rooms for events. We've had Ed as our server a couple of times now and he's always really good to us. Morton's really has something for everyone, which is why I keep coming back.

    OOofff this place was hard to locate. The location is easily missed unless you know exactly what to look for. In Ala Moana, on the Bloomingdale's parking lot level, you'll be looking for an elevator to take you up to the restaurant level. The food here is so so good! It's fresh, service is fast, and everything has amazing flavor! All of the sides are large enough to share and I do recommend sharing. The service is very kind and accommodating to your request. The food comes out very quickly and it's still sizzling when served. The environment is very quiet and almost somber. The lighting is low and there is calming music. There are multiple dining areas which allows everyone feel as if they are not over crowded. My only downside is the price. It is very expensive. A single 4oz was $76. The food is worth it, but for very very special occasions

    Love this place. Can't get enough. Staff treats you well, if there is an issue with a steak, it's fixed immediately. Place is high end. Low lit atmosphere although it can get noisy. Prices are typical for a place like this. If you have a steak craving, they offer many different cuts and styles. They are slightly different from Ruth's Chris as their steaks don't come out sizzling hot with butter on top. Parking is easy. This restaurant is located at the Ala Moana Shopping Center. Overall, this is one of my favorite steak places to go.

    Decided to go to Morton's to celebrate my mother and brother's birthdays. Was a bit hesitant because other Yelp reviews were underwhelmed with the service but you know what? The service provided to us was EXCELLENT. Our server Shaun (or Sean or Shawn, didn't get spelling) made the dinner really special with his attention to detail, patience, and overall happy vibe. He took the time to answer all of our questions, made suggestions, and improved our dining experience by plating the salad on smaller plates because we were sharing and letting us add another oyster so everyone would get one. For birthdays, they write a card and scatter cute confetti on table. They also comp a dessert for each birthday celebrant and provide a candle. Appreciate that. Everything we ordered was delicious but I really loved the Nueske bacon, the pork chops, and the souffle. Was pleasantly surprised that they used Okinawan kokuto (black sugar) in their fancy Old Fashioned! So yeah, here to say that the service was great and this was a lovely celebration for our family. But be on the safe side and see if you can be seated in Shaun/Sean/Shawn's section. :) Oh, one quibble. Not a fan of their tea selection. There's one Asian tea choice (Sencha) and the rest are things like Raspberry, Peppermint, Chamomile kine tea. Felt like tea for mainland tastes.

    Toffee bread pudding ala mode was soo yummy.

    We opted for an early Mother's Day dinner at Morton's Steakhouse, selecting three entrees to share, accompanied by oysters, wagyu meatballs, mushrooms and spinach, and a house salad. Each dish, including the Tomahawk Ribeye, King Crab, and King Salmon, exceeded expectations. Our server Henry provided excellent service and other staff were cordial Each dish was prepared superbly and was delicious.

    The food was delicious! My family and I had 2 of the 3 course menus, a dry aged ribeye, and a filet mignon with lobster. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly, but it was a bit tough on the outside. They accompanied this was truffle garlic butter (your choice) and it elevated the dish tremendously. The chocolate cake was amazing as well, soft on the inside but slightly crispy on the outside, and the amazing fudginess that leaks out once you bite into it. The customer service was also great, they were very attentive to us and even sang happy birthday for my dad. Great restaurant :).

    The Bubbles & Bites menu special for January was announced on Instagram (I saw it when my friend sent it which was posted by @cheyennetheblogger) and I put in the special message to receive the link, made the rezzy and glad we did. Sponsored by Veuve Clicquot, options included champagne or a martini, 2 beef or chicken sliders, and regular or truffle fries. The food was cooked perfectly. Such a cute presentation! Happy Hour Meals!! #pauhanameals For the special, they required you to sit in the bar area and advertised the combo meal at $29 each. Amazing. Morton's is nice, and has good food so you cannot go wrong. I will definitely be on the lookout for this type of special again. On top of the delicious, and filling happy meal, we ordered the old fashioned- smoked to compliment the cheesecake. Their cheesecake is not a slice, take a look at the photo. It is quite a nice serving so we ate about half and I took the rest to go. Excellent service in the bar area!!!!!!

    It was a great gathering here with my co-workers. We were able to reserve a small private room to fit the 12 of us. We had our own private wait help and assistant that were very attentive. The food was unforgettable. Steak was a huge portion with enough to take home. We all enjoyed everything that was ordered, (refer to my photos). Service was professional.

    We went to Morton's for my SO's birthday celebration in the early evening on a weekday. They had a private function going on, which seemed to affect the speed of food service. I did like the décor -- chic and simple. We started off with Morton's Margarita. It was a bit different but pretty good, and I liked that it was strong :D For the appetizer, we wanted the Crab Cake but it wasn't available, so we went with the Seared Scallops instead. Unfortunately, the bacon wrapping completely overpowered the scallops, so I could hardly taste the seafood at all. For the main dish, we ordered the Tomahawk Ribeye (medium). It took quite a while to come out, and by the time it did, I was already full from the complimentary bread. When the steak finally arrived, it was unevenly cooked -- about 70% rare and the rest well done, which was disappointing. On the positive side, the sides -- Loaded Baked Potato and Sautéed Spinach & Button Mushrooms -- were pretty good. They also surprised us with Morton's Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake for the birthday, which was a nice touch. My SO had the Mortini, which was well made too. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I'm not sure I'd return since there are quite a few other steak places around that I prefer.

    Our whole table was dome shaped.

    Let me start this with had I not have purchased a stack of Mortons's gift cards from Costco before coming, I would probably be even more displeased than I am now with my experience. I get it is the holidays and it's busy but come on now. The place is clean but quite overcrowded and noisy due to the dense crowd. It seems they jammed as many tables as they could into the main dining room. Certainly not ADA compliant. There would be no way you could navigate a wheelchair through the tables. Maybe along either side of the wall but not if you needed to get to a table in the middle of the room. Not that I had a person in a wheelchair in my party, but something I notice as a person that works in the medical field. We had 8 in our party. They sat us at a 4 top that they folded out the extension part that turns the square into a circle. It was quite tight sitting 8 people on a table that normally seats 4. Folding out that little bit of table did barely anything for space. To add insult to injury, our table was dome shaped. Clearly seen better days. I'm guessing the curving of the table are from people putting their body weight on it leaning onto the table. I spent the night worrying my glass of water would fall over and soak me if someone bumped the table. Additionally my glassware was cracked with a large L shaped crack that ran down half the cup. I regret not taking a picture of this for evidence. How this glass made it to the table and was not replaced before I got to it shows a lack of attention to detail or simply disregard for excellence that is expected. Service was ok at best. Not the wow experience I expect from a fine dining restaurant. Food was mostly disappointing. Especially after taking over an hour to get to the table. Ocean Platter, oysters rockafeller, creamed spinach, dry aged ribeye were all mediocre at best. The ocean platter didn't taste like eating fresh seafood. Plating for the steaks were sloppy. My dry aged ribeye lacked flavor. Tender, yes. Flavor, no. The New York that came to the table was quite charred. Temperature on it was correct but I would call it burnt, see picture. The best steak that came out was the Cajun ribeye my son ordered. The lobster mac shells and cheese was poorly made. The sauce was grainy. Whoever made that dish needs to be re-educated/trained on how to properly make a rue. Flavor was also lacking. The best items that came to the table were the complimentary bread, French onion soup, smoked gouda and bacon au gratin potatoes, and my lemon drop mortini. The bill came out to over $1000 for 8 people, which I expected and would have been fine with if the experience matched the hefty tab. But it did not. I will not be coming back. I do not recommend.

    Morton's Waikiki did not disappoint. First impression, friendly hostess and servers, romantic ambiance and open kitchen. My sister made a reservation to celebrate mine and brother-in-law's birthday in Hawaii. Everything tasted amazing and cocktails were amazing. Great service and staff, expect to pay for a quality of food here. Mahalo,

    I figured go to a steak house and get the best steak. We ordered the tomahawk (medium), rib eye bone in, rib eye, steak and lobster, Cesar salad, wagyu meat balls, fries, mash, lobster mash, cream corn, sautéed mushrooms, and broccolini. First the sides. All were good and okay, but I favor the sautéed mushrooms. Very flavorful and delicious. The meatballs were also phenomenal, my nephew actually enjoyed them. The mash was like any other place and the lobster mash was so/so nothing out of this world. Now the steak. Boy where do I begin. The tomahawk (medium) was too rare and tasteless. The ribeyes had flavor but was too tough same goes for the lobster tail. Service was okay. We did not receive our salad so we cancelled it but they brought it to us with no charge. They also offered to cook the tomahawk to the correct doneness. All in all it was something to experience, but in my opinion I tried steak that was far more tender and flavorful elsewhere.

    Morton's is our go to steakhouse. And the Cajun ribeye is our jam! Plus a gooey warm chocolate molten cake to finish. Occasionally we venture beyond. But rarely! When celebrating a birthday or anniversary, this is our destination of choice. The staff are so friendly and attentive. They make celebrations personal and inviting. It's often tough to choose between the ribeye and a porterhouse. This is the one restaurant where we will always get 2 meals and 2 sides, even though we would barely finish one of each collectively. Being about 45 minutes away, we'd rather take extras home as they reheat beautifully. They can usually carry us at least 3 meals each. Delicious for days! The filet is also amazing, especially with foie gras. Tender with deep flavors. Cocktails are excellent! The watermelon mojito is our favorite. And dessert doesn't always have to be chocolate. The key lime pie is so refreshing! All this jabber and now I'm craving a Morton's ribeye!

    Morton's The Steakhouse Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Morton's The Steakhouse

    So I think Morton's is part of the the Landry's family of companies. So is Golden Nugget(?)..I saw online that a Golden Nugget gift card could be used at Morton's. Just wanted to confirm what I'm seeing online~?

    Hello. Yes, you can use your gift card at Morton's, thank you.

    Is here BYOB? How much is the carry on fee?

    Hello Seira. This pertains to wine only, $50/750ml bottle or $55/1.5L bottle. Thank you.

    Can you provide a negative covid test to dine in?

    Hi Brianna, we accept a negative covid test taken within 48 hours of dining with us per state and local government regulations.

    1/2.0/22 Does Morton's Honolulu require guests to provide evidence of covid vaccine/booster?

    As of now, booster is not required.

    Do you have an Early bird special?

    Hi Nanette, we do not. However, we do offer happy hour (Power Hour) from open-7 PM M-Th and from open-6 pm on Fri in the bar area. There you can enjoy bar bites and specially priced cocktails, beer and wine pours.

    What's the dress code? Is shorts acceptable?

    It says dressy but when we were there, people had tshirts and shorts and slippers. So I'm not sure. I guess it's casual.

    Is there Happy hour?

    Yes, there is Happy Hour.

    Do they accept Discover credit cards?

    The website says AMEX, Diners Club, JCB, MC and Visa. But you should call Morton's directly.

    Dress code for this restaurant?

    I've seen everything from t-shirts/jeans to aloha wear to more formal dress.

    Is there a preset menu if you have a certain number of people in your party?

    I don't believe there is. Everyone orders individually

    Do they allow the use of more than one gift card at a time?

    Hi, as a gift card is considered the same as cash you can use multiple gift cards at this location.

    Is this place Ala Carte for all the steaks or does it come with sides?

    Ala Carte - split the sides with someone unless you choose mashed potatoes (which are delicious!). The mashed potatoes are good for one but the rest of the vegetable servings are huge!!!

    Do they still have valet service since the remodel of the Ewa end of Ala Moana? If so is there a cost (besides tipping the valet)?

    Yes but really not needed as ther are hundreds of parking stalls within a 150 feet. Unless you have an awsum expensive ride you want to protect

    Can Morton's accommodate a motor scooter?

    I believe it's possible as you need to take an elevator to the restaurant anyway. But to be safe,i suggest you call them.

    I can't quite tell from the pictures but how is the seating arrangement in this establishment? Is it pretty " close quarters" or a bit more spaced out and comfortable?

    It's average. You're not right on top of the next table, but there isn't an acre between you, either. Rarely can I overhear conversation at a neighboring table and I don't get brushed up against by servers or other patrons passing by.

    Is this someplace great for an anniversary dinner? Is there anything special done by the staff?

    Excellent for special occasions! When making or reservations we let the receptionist know that we were celebrating a couple of birthdays and our meal came with a customized menu with our birthday girls name at the top, a free photo of our party… 

    What is the dress code?

    Well since mortons is located in the mall, they really can't deny any paying customers unless they are in beach wear lol.. but I think appropriate wear would be casual!! Some people get dressy there!!

    Great service and yummy food... Tucked away at the Laylow…read morehotel, is a chill restaurant with fun Hawaiian vibes. We started our vacation with dinner at the Hideout, and upon entering you could immediately hear live music. We received a warm welcome, and brought over to our booth where our server Kai was quick to greet us. We ordered cocktails (I don't remember the name of mine. It's something spritz, and my husband tried the banana bread old fashioned) and we shared the appetizer platter (brussel sprouts with pork belly, kalua pork egg rolls, poke tacos, and edamame)to share. We also ordered the garlic shrimp dumplings. Everything was super tasty. Lots of other items on the menu that I want to try during another visit to the island.

    Stressful from the start…read more I called to inquire about parking a week prior to my rsv and was told they were sold out for the night. I mentioned that it was just a general question and i wasn't coming that night. They informed me that it's validated for two hours and it's first come first serve. After the 2 hours its $14 an hour. Getting into the valet area was stressful enough as there was a car parked right before you turn and pedestrians that walk back and forth from their main driveway entrance. I also had to wait for valet for a bit too as there was 2 other cars in front of me and probably only 2 valet on duty trying to move cars forward. Reservations can be made on open table, but there was really no point to doing that since it's open seating during happy hour times. We ended up just picking a table that was in the shade, and noticed they only have their menu by QR code which is kinda annoying. The server was pretty nice tho and he brought my dog some water mid way. Their happy hour runs from 2-6 and the menu is slightly less expensive. The food was kind of standard hotel type of food and nothing really stood out. Otherwise the vibes at the restaurant was nice and i do like that they allow dogs to join you. it seems like they have live music after a certain time. I was even more annoyed and stressed with the valet when i went to pick up my car. They literally just handed me my keys. My car was parked along the wall probably 20 steps away, but they could have at least taken out my car cause it was so hard to get out, but i guess it's nice they trust that i wont bang the car in front of back of me i guess even tho im a pretty terrible parker. at the time they didn't look as busy as when i first arrived, so i dont know why they couldn't have just done the bare minimum with just pulling out my car from the stall.

    I was told about Duke's on Sundays with Henry Kapono, and we had to go check it out. I was told to…read morego at least an hour before his performance, and she wasn't kidding! People were staking out tables more than an hour before the show, and when the patio was being cleared, there was a line of people waiting to put down their names. We were fortunate to grab a table in the upper deck area (it's not clearly labeled, but the circular tables by the bar are first-come, first-serve), and we ordered some drinks and appetizers while we waited. Yes, the prices are higher and portion sizes are smaller than what you get, but it's for the view and entertainment. Our servers were attentive and were very good about refilling our water cups, which I really appreciated. Henry Kapono was great, and after we were done with our meal, we went out to the patio to join folks who were enjoying the music. People were dancing in front of the stage area, socializing with other guests, and enjoying the wonderful weather, drinks, and music. What more can you ask for when you're visiting Hawaii? :)

    I am going to start with the good stuff.... Very pleasant and attentive staff, great location,…read morebeautiful sunny day, and the Hula Pie, which is delicious. The food was average, mostly burgers and tacos on the menu, with limited fresh seafood options. Tasty but small $20 drinks ouch! Duke's seems to be going the way of Chart House relying too much on their amazing locations and great ambiance. Need to focus a little more on the quality of the food.

    Located on the bottom floor of the Romer House (on the left of the Lobby)…read more I stopped in just for a drink before dinner. Unlike the Chinatown location, this place is smaller but very intimate. Since it just opened when I got there I cant tell you what kind of people relax here. I liked it as its quiet and calm. Ill have to go back to sample there food and update my review later.

    Sadly I hoped I could give it a better review but since moving from the downtown venue to Waikiki I…read morejust couldn't. Located in a hotel called The Romer on Nāhua Street in Waikiki off of Kuhio (closer to Ala Wai Canal) it is a smallish unpretentious looking building on Diamond Head side of Nahua. They have valet stand in front and validate parking for up to 3 hours. The valet wasn't very friendly when we walked towards him and usually they hold the door open but this one did not. We realize he's probably not part of Lei Stand staff but it doesn't make a good first impression. Walk into the lobby and directly to your left is the Lei Stand. It is brightly neon but dark if that makes sense, and very small. If you're a fan of when it used to be on Bethel St downtown then you'll be disappointed with this venue. No view to be had, dark drapes cover the windows (we were there at 6:00 pm) and no cute little lanai or garden. Tiny tables either high tops or rounds - maybe 10 total and a small bar. There was one tiny corner booth. The lost star was for this set up but also another lost star for NO MUSIC. Music is such an important part of a place especially a bar so we were disappointed and appalled there was only silence. Bartender said the music was "broken" so we turned on our phones to get something on our table. Then two girls brought in something to light the place up with some tunes so that helped. The final lost star was it is called The Lei Stand yet there wasn't a lei stand inside the place. When we asked the bartender where it was he didn't even know what a lei was. Then we explained to him and he said it is in the hotel lobby but you have to go to front desk to let them know you wish to purchase one. Another disappointment. Thank goodness I bought her a lei from downtown in case they didn't have any. The good stars ... Star 1 goes to the drink menu and how delicious they tasted. "Rub up on my belly" was beautifully prepared and so delicious I had to have another one lol I mean how could I refuse a second guava jam infused Tito's vodka??? Bartender prepared with cute little garnish and an ice stick to keep it cold! He was very nice and took good care of us. My friend opted for the "Clifton's Curse" - yes there's a back story to this drink- and enjoyed the cognac, absinthe, bitters and sherry concoction! Ono! Star 2 goes to the food or "nibbles" as they call it. Taro chips and crack dip were yum and a nice handful of chips not too much and not too little. Hurricane fries - to die for! Plenty of furikake, parmigiano reggiano and spicy aioli. The girls who brought our food were very nice and made sure we had what we needed to enjoy, bringing us waters too. They also had a smash burger for $25 but we had dinner rez later so didn't want to indulge but it looked good. It might be cute if you wanted to do a private party here and I noticed a room across with a beautiful large table set up for a private dinner - not sure if part of hotel or bar.

Depending on the time of day you come, it can be relaxing with sofa seating, bar seating, and cafe tables. They have a great happy hour menu, fun foods, and tons of drink options. I've been now also during concert nights and the place can get packed. If you really want to see a band, be sure to buy tickets early for entry as at-the-door entry may not be available. Prices are reasonable for drinks and tickets. Bartender Kama was super attentive and friendly all evening on a recent visit, mahalo! If you like pop culture art, local music, and contemporary Hawaii culture, this is a great place to come and have fun.

To my surprise it's a hook to over charge you. 5 x specials came out to $118.48 and that was after I checked my receipt and notice that had added the charge for 3 additional drinks. They had already up charged $3 for cranberry juice which was not notified. They took my order after about 30 minutes after we were served our drinks, 30 minutes to serve our food. And they weren't even busy... looked like they took the order, served and then took next... etc. Not greeted, not thanked. Ridiculously overpriced for eggs, bacon, 1/2 toast and 2 slices or orange juice.. $6 juice. Regret leaving a tip at all.

The House Without a Key is at the back of the hotel facing the beach and famous Diamond Head. The menu is excellent and the service is truly exceptional. The Halekulani Coconut Cake is our favorite dessert, anywhere in the world. Prices are a bit high even for Hawaii, but we think that they are worth a nice lunch on the amazing waterfront. The name of the restaurant comes from one of the Charlie Chan mystery books written by Earl Derr Biggers in the late-1920's. The legend is that Biggers, a Honolulu police detective, wrote his Chan books in the back yard of a friend that lived in a house where the hotel is now located. A bonus - the restaurant comps parking at the hotel - just tip the guys parking the cars.
