    16 oz. Prime Cajun Ribeye Steak
    Jennifer N.

    My boyfriend and I went to Morton's for our anniversary! It was my first time to a steakhouse and I loved it! Tim was our server and was super welcoming and informative. He gave us great recommendations and was able to explain highlighted dishes to us. I got my filet mignon (12oz) as medium rare, my boyfriend got their Cajun ribeye as medium rare as well. Both were cooked to perfection! We wanted to try some of their sides as it was our first time dining at Morton's. Loved them all, but we'd probably just order the truffle fries and maybe try their mashed potato dish (which we didn't get this time). My boyfriend enjoyed their tossed salad- I did as well! We let them know in our reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary, so they decorated the table in celebration! Including a lava cake w/ vanilla ice cream on the house! The best lava cake we've ever had! We both agreed we'd go back just for that lava cake!!! The restaurant itself looked so nice, we were glad to have gotten a booth seat- our reservation was at 4:30pm, as we had a night show to attend to later. By 5:30 I'd say it was getting more packed. Idk if we'd have gotten a booth seat if we had reservations at a later time.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!!!!

    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.

    Seared Scallops

    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.

    Dried up broccolini. Can't even chew it!

    I'm disappointed on the broccolini. Dry and could not believe the texture. I've been here a handful of times, I know the broccoli is good. But broccolini, I'm having stomach pains from this one. Service was good, one guy was always smiling and friendly to us, unfortunately this was not our waiter! I hope they can improve these things cause I do come here for steak and other foods.

    Our whole table was dome shaped.
    Jennifer T.

    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.

    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 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!!

There was one other table when we arrived, so busy-ness was not an excuse. We stood at the front while the servers talked and ignored us. After being seated, it took about 10 min for the server to greet us, another 20 min to get drinks, and then about 20 more min for the food. No sense of urgency, minimal concern for taking our order or greeting us, and he had to be reminded about a few items we ordered or asked for. It's a beautiful spot, but the service is why I likely won't be back.

We were also able to order online and the process was seamless. We have ordered the most expensive lobster roll, which I believe has 1/2 pounds of lobster. The lobster itself was super fresh and the texture is great. You can taste the freshness from the food and you know that the lobster is not previously frozen. Although the price is close to $80 for one lobster roll, the portion is huge. It can easily feed 2 adults. We enjoyed our experience overall but will opt for the smaller option next time haha

    Note: The prices listed are from May 23, 2026. The prices appear to fluctuate based on market…read moreprice. All rolls are served with following sides: crinkle cut potato chips, melted butter, house coleslaw, garlic mayo, lemon wedge, and Old Bay seasoning. The meat is served chilled in the bun. They have 4 "sizes" that they serve on a toasted brioche bun (~6 inch bun): - The Regular (3.5 oz)**: $36.99 - The Popular (5 oz)**: $49.99 - The Big One (7 oz)**: $62.99 - The Maine Event (1/2 lb (8 oz)): $74.99 **You can also ask for extra 1.5 oz lobster meat to this size for $13.99. You can also buy just the cooked lobster meat: 1/2 lb (8 oz) for $75.00 They have can drinks such as sodas (including Hawaiian sodas) and beer. The roll was actually quite tasty! I was able to experiment with different flavors with the Old Bay seasoning, garlic mayo, lemon, and butter. The garlic mayo was surprisingly good with the lobster. You can also throw the Old Bay seasoning on the chips if you're in the mood. The price is pretty steep which was my mistake. I don't know what I was expecting when ordering lobster in Waikiki. The lady at the cash register was less than pleasant and helpful so it makes spending that money feel a little more painful. If you can afford it and are really craving a lobster roll, this should satiate you. I didn't feel like I needed more to eat after finishing my meal. Location: The store is located in the Royal Hawaiian shopping center. You have to take a staircase from the first floor to a lower floor to get to it. You may need to ask around for directions. The restaurant is super small. Maybe two or 3 small tables that can fit no more than 6-8 people.

The spicy limu wasn't spicy at all, next time we would ask them to add more spice to it if possible! The wasabi bowl had a kick that we were looking for. Most importantly, it was fresh and delicious!

Food (3.5 stars) + The poke was undeniably fresh--tuna and salmon. My daughter likes salmon and she liked it although I know ahi is the way to go. ~ Spicy Sato had a nice kick but didn't match the photo that looked more creamy and flavorful. - However, the shoyu sauce seasoning was overpowering, masking the fish's natural flavor. - Salmon hand roll was scarfed down by my 11yo daughter in like 2 bites for $8 - Portion was on the smaller side for the price (around $17). I expected more value. Service/Ambiance (3 stars) + Food came out quickly, but don't forget to bring your own water--they only sell drinks. ~ It's a takeout place with only outdoor seating. - Seating was tight, no indoor option, and we had to rearrange seats to accommodate our group of four. Overall, Sato has fresh poke, but the seasoning needs balance. I hate to say this but Don Quixote poke from their cold aisle was better.

    Oh my goodness! I did not know what to expect from Tikis Bar and Grill. Our family has traveled to…read moreHawaii several times, but had never tried this restaurant. But, we were pleasantly impressed by the food and our server Maka. We were seated at an outside table by a host, but it was hot. We asked if we could be changed to an inside table, but the host told us we would have to go back to the host stand and wait for another table. Our party of 7 decided to stay where we were. Then our server, Maka came with water and introduced himself . He asked if we wanted to switch tables because it was hot. He was very perceptive and he was able to change our table. We knew from that point we had an awesome server. During our time at Tikis, Maka thoroughly explained the menu to us and gave excellent food recommendations. He came by to check on us throughout our meal to see if everything was good and if we needed anything. We were appreciative of his kindness. The food was great! The coconut shrimp and kalua pork quesadillas were delicious. The guava ribs were fall off the bone good! Our table also ordered the coconut chicken and volcano wings. All the items were very tasty. We even received chicken taro, compliments from the chef, which made of feel real special. TIP: Go during Happy Hour to try samples of their appetizers at a good price! Eating at Tikis Grill and Bar was a great way to end our holiday on Oahu!
