    Let me just say how wonderful Morton's SA is... we went Friday and it was so good we went back Sunday night... I love their food, the ambiance and the SERVICE! Kristie and Michael are amazing!!!! Ask for them! They go you covered! Alana also was very helpful and thoughtful when rounding on us and ensuring our experience was stellar. I haven't always been a Morton's fan, but this team has won me over. PS don't be surprised if you read the same review on Google because I'm going there to add it to you because it was such a great experience!t

    The atmosphere of Morton's is that of an old New York style steakhouse. You half expect to see cigar smoke wafting through the air and an old fashioned on every table. It achieves a great deal of ambience in this atmosphere, and there is a consistent color scheme and overall architectural theme throughout to keep you mentally in the experience of having a night out. We had made reservations earlier and were seated promptly, when we came at 6:30 there was plenty of seating. I would still suggest a reservation however, because within half an hour the place had started filling up. Our server Destiny was attentive and I saw she was balancing a lot of other tables as the night went on which she did quite well. The server first brought out bread service. I really liked this bread, it's a very onion forward crisp bread and I ate my way (with some help, although embarrassingly little) through the first loaf. The butter was soft and spreadable. A great way to start the meal. My fiancée and I started with drinks and appetizers. She got the Raspberry Cobbler drink, I the Athletic Brewing Run Wild IPA (I'm doing a bit of a dry January and it's their non alcoholic option so sorry for not being more creative here). The beer was out of a can, but was exactly as expected. The cocktail was magnificent and fruity. The flavors of gin were highly complimented in this drink and I recommend it for gin enthusiasts. For starters, I got the wagyu dumplings. This was probably my favorite dish of the night, Wagyu with its fatty, and extra juicy texture is the perfect meat to use in these dumplings. The sauce was a bit tangy and quite spicy, sort of a sweet Thai chili sauce. My fiancées wedge salad was alleged to be "fine", not enthusiastic praise! I will say the bacon on her wedge salad looked amazing, but I was so focused on my dumplings I didn't try the salad. The main courses arrived quickly, I had the Chicken Christopher and my fiancée had the 6 oz filet. The Chicken Christopher was very crispy and cooked well, but I found the sauce - which I had heard a lot about beforehand - to be just okay. I wouldn't likely order this again. Likewise, the filet was cooked to a perfect rare as my fiancée likes but I felt the seasoning while fine was underwhelming. The main courses showed the skill of the chefs working in the back, but I can't help but feel the seasoning needs updating. I did not feel these perfectly adequate entrees were sufficient for the price being charged. Unfortunately, the saddest story is in the dessert. I can't say how Morton's makes their desserts, but I can say they feel extremely underwhelming. The key lime tasted like a perfectly good key lime pie I could buy in the freezer section of HEB. The lava cake was a bit better, and I did appreciate we had a good chocolate magma pour come out of it when it was cut open but it was as good as a lava cake at any, much cheaper restaurant. So that's Morton's. Do I regret going? Not at all, it's solid food and we had a good night out. Would I go again? Likely not. Morton's feels a little locked in time to me, in all the best and worst ways. I would keep the ambience and helpful staff, but a lot of what I consider when reviewing a higher price scale restaurant is whether it's worth the extra price or not. Some restaurants are doing something daring or specific that only they can do, when that's the case it's worth paying the money. Unfortunately for Morton's there are a lot of of places where one can get a pretty good steak.

    Great happy hour cocktail at the bar to start. Great drink - bartender knows what he's doing! 3-course special including Lobster Bisque and a Filet Mignon and Loaded Baked Potato. Great Morton's dining room - first class all the way.

For starters, we had the French Onion Soup and the Wedge Salad. The soup was good, it was on the sweeter side though which wasn't my favorite. The salad was fresh, crunchy, and light. Definitely a highlight! For the main course, we had the 8oz Filet, 16oz Ribeye, and the Char-Grilled Jumbo Shrimp. This is what made this steakhouse standout to me. Everything was season and cooked to perfection. The side of the Brandy Mushroom Sauce was a great addition to the steak. The Filet was soft, juicy, and just perfect in every bite. The Ribeye was full of flavor and overall was a very good steak. The shrimp was some of the best shrimp I've had. The seasoning was impeccable, it was juicy, and tasty. For sides, we had the Baked Potato and Broccoli. The potato was a 10/10 and you were able to add more or less of what you wanted with the do it yourself style. I loved it! The broccoli was cooked great it was just very saturated in a pool of olive oil. Finally, dessert was a huge highlight and I loved every single bite. We got the Triple Chocolate Double Fudge Brownie. It was like eating a molten lava cake as a brownie. It was soft, gooey, chocolatey, fudgey, and everything you would want from a brownie and so much more. If you have not tried this steakhouse and are in the area of San Antonio, you need to come here because it will not disappoint by any means!

Our twelve guests ranged in age from 14-79 years, and everyone had a wonderful experience. We began with waters for the table, soft drinks, and cocktails/mocktails (Man Walks into a Bar, Amba No. 5, Don Alberto, Green Shug Collins). Due to our large party, we had booked a chef's tasting experience, which was spectacular. The appetizers were plentiful, flavorful, and unique. Our server, Anissa, did a wonderful job of explaining each dish-- its components, highlights, even suggesting that after finishing the beef dumplings, we stir the oil and yogurt together for an amazing pita dipping sauce. Our meal included four meats-- actually five, considering an off menu chef's creation for our pescatarian guest. It was such an immersive experience, I never took out my phone to capture photos of the food (or our group, sadly). Three desserts topped off the evening. When (not if) we return, we'll certainly request Anissa again. She made the evening a complete delight, even bringing out celebratory candles for our honored guests.

Overall, I'd say most of the people in our group probably would not go back, but I don't necessarily think that was because the food was bad or lacking flavor. I think a lot of us just weren't very accustomed to Mediterranean flavor profiles and this style of dining. Most of us really enjoyed the dips, the meats, and the desserts. Those were definitely the standout parts of the meal for our group. Some of the dishes in between were a little more questionable for us personally -- we tried everything, but there wasn't necessarily one specific dish we completely fell in love with. That being said, the experience itself was amazing. The atmosphere was so cool and unlike anything we had done before. Being served course after course and getting to experience so many different dishes made the meal feel really unique and memorable. All of the staff members who waited on us were absolutely fantastic and so understanding of some of our questioning looks while trying unfamiliar foods. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made the experience feel fun and comfortable from start to finish. If you already love Mediterranean food, this place may be right up your alley. I just think it's good to know what kind of flavor profiles to expect before coming, especially if you're newer to this type of cuisine. Overall, we still had a great time there.

Beautifully cooked and flavorful. Tomatillo Shrimp with grilled Gulf shrimp, white cheddar grit cake, and tomatillo butter - $28. Bold and delicious. Loretta Burger with crispy prosciutto, manchego, arugula, tomato, grilled red onion, and smash sauce on a brioche bun. Choice of fries or tots - $18 (some had tots, and one had fries - tasty). Absolutely nailed it. Queso Fundido Burger with fried chorizo-queso blanco, charred poblano, and cactus salsa verde. Choice of fries or tots - $20. Indulgent in the best way.

But at my age anytime you are over ground is the best occasion. I have heard it is real fancy. And it is. Do not come in Crocs and sweatpants. This is not that restaurant. It is that restaurant where you should make reservations. It is also a place that emphasizes presentation and service. We came right when it opened and we informed the hostess of our reservations. We were seated in the bar area. Once inside I was struck by its ambience. It is sleek, dark and dare say "sexy." Our server, who was extremely attentive came to our table and took our drink orders. My partner ordered an Old Fashioned and me, a Lagunitas IPA. Whilst waiting for our drinks I looked over the room. One thing I noticed was a barrier that separated the bar area and the dining room. The Social Hour is meant, to socialize. I saw couples leaning into each other. Another group were drinking martinis with a seafood tower, almost touching the ceiling. Conversations were had. Romantic glances were exchanged. It isn't a casual place like Bubba's 33 nor Texas Roadhouse. It feels like a place best suited for a date night or an anniversary. I'm wondering how the dining room area is? The Social Hour does offer some drink and small bites specials. We ordered the kabob with pineapple, brussel sprouts, and sliders. They were all pretty great. It reminded me of the same experience as in partaking in tapas. I would remiss if I didn't relay our service here, it was excellent. Our server, Holiday(I hope I spelled it right.) treated us like we were the only patrons there. I've gone to upscale restaurants where staff looks at you up and down. Or they try to size you up. This is not that place. Which was so refreshing. If this place went above and beyond my expectations why didn't I give it four stars? In my opinion I think that a place that creates an upscale experience needs to have a few beers on tap. Even places like Wing Daddy's or Chili's offers a few beers on tap. Secondly, the bar area seating feels a bit tight. I wonder when the dinner crowd arrives would you be in the lap, of someone else's conversation? I still highly recommend this place. The Social Hour area is perfect for a date or an anniversary. The service and food were both excellent. And I've never been to a place where you are given warm hand towels. It reminded me of that scene with Adam Sandler in "The Wedding Singer" minus Billy Idol.

    As I reminisce on my final (?) meal at The Barn Door earlier today, I have difficulty expressing…read morehow sad I feel to lose a landmark that has served as a second home for generations of San Antonians. For 73 years, The Barn Door has been more than a great restaurant; it has been an inexorable piece of San Antonio history. Last week, The Barn Door announced on Facebook that its final day of service will be Sunday, May 11th (Mother's Day). The Barn Door has been an outstanding steakhouse in the truest sense. They've never relied on gimmicks or culinary trends--they've relied on the tried-and-true flavors that have maintained a loyal clientele for decades. I'm taking about hand-cut, primal cuts of beef grilled over real mesquite, delivering that unmistakable South Texas char. I'm referring to plump, wild-caught shrimp from the Gulf Coast, the famous yeast rolls, and tubs of homemade salad dressings. If you've been there, you know how special the overall experience has been. I've read many heartfelt comments on social media asking why such a successful institution would cease operations. Well, dear reader, I have a unique insight into why. Randy Stokes has poured his heart into the restaurant, but he merely leases the building--not the land--from the Straus family. Approximately seven months ago, Mr. Straus decided to sell the dirt beneath the "Barn" to a real estate developer. The plan? To raze this historic site and erect modern condos. It's a familiar story of urban expansion, but it doesn't make the loss any easier to swallow. But before we close the door on "The Barn" forever, a glimmer of hope looms on the horizon. Randy Stokes and his team aren't necessarily hanging up their aprons for good. According to a reliable anonymous source, the team has expressed a desire to reopen The Barn Door at a new location, with eyes set currently on the city's North Side. I hope the promise of a new location comes to fruition, but even if The Barn Door closes forever, I will cherish all the wonderful memories of dining there with my parents and grandparents over the years. I will remember the ingratiating staff, the unique ambience, and the hundreds of delicious meals I've crammed down my gullet.

    This restaurant has been here for about 50 years now and it's definitely showing it's age…read more Half the sign wasn't working. It's a sketchy area to walk behind the restaurant to the Speakeasy. Anyhow, I ordered the chicken fried ribeye, jalapeño twice baked potato. Now, the potato was great. I didn't care for the ribeye and didn't eat it. The salad was right out of the bag. Iceberg, shredded carrots and cabbage with 5 bagged croutons. What happened? It wasn't like that before. My cream spinach came out late, and we weren't charged for it, which was nice. My brother in laws filet was too done. He asked for medium, and it was medium well. He ate it anyway. They used to have a 6oz ladies filet, but they don't. The server wasn't perfect, but we lived. IF I return, I'll skip the salad, get the filet and potato.
