BOTTOM LINE: The filet mignon was A-OK but everything else was pretty 'meh'. It's hard for me to get excited about steak houses when an excellent butcher and a barbecue/cast iron pan will get you the same results. I also become resentful when sides cost more for the same fine piece of meat you can purchase from the butcher! I ordered their FILET MIGNON which came with ALEXANDER SHRIMPS. Both very good. The steak was nice and blue and not a second overcooked. I liked that they kept it simple and didn't over spice it or drown it in gravy (god forbid!). The shrimps were big and juicy. Expectations, met! The rest of the meal, however, was pretty disappointing. The MORTON'S SALAD (roughly cut up lettuce with bits of blue cheese) was pretty forgettable, the SOUR CREAM MASHED POTATOES was ultra bland, the veggies were standard, and the DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE tasted like packaged goods. My DCs commented that their KEY LIME PIE was too sweet. As with many steak houses, I'm perpetually reminded that it's almost always better to do it yourself. Morton's is no exception. read more

We always enjoy Morton's. No matter which city. However, our favorite is the Morton's in Toronto on Avenue Road. Always warm, refined, and respectful. The bar is cozy, they give a good pour, and the rest itself continues to present one of the finest steaks anywhere. However, what makes this place unique, is that for the past 4 visits we have had the pleasure of being served by Suzanne. She is amongst the finest servers we've ever had. Terrific attention to detail, honest with her recommendations. Always helpful. And notably, she recognizes us on every occasion, welcomes us wonderfully and makes us feel we're being entertained right in her own home. Congratulations to Morton's! read more

Amazing experience! This was my second time to Morton's. Last time was near Boston,ma. I brought my girlfriend here last night to celebrate her birthday and by far this was better than my last experience. Mike our server was excellent. He suggested the holiday steak special and it was great for sharing for 2. Can't wait to go back again. You guys made my Girlfriend birthday phenomenal! Cheers, Michael read more

Morton's is a great place to celebrate a special occasion. We went for our wedding anniversary. We had a nice booth, very cosy and intimate. Also, just a tip but if you go to the Morton's website and register for it, they have a special offer for a Steak and Seafood dinner for two (which is quite a good price considering all you get). We did have this and it includes: 2 kinds of salad 3 different appetizers (including shrimp, scallops or crabcake) 2 single filets each (8 oz) 3 different choices for dessert including a molten chocolate cake which was wonderful. The service was great -- the ambiance warm and cozy -- and the food was wonderful. As it happens -- it was a lot -- we were stuffed when we left -- but happily so. So -- if you are looking for an upscale steakhouse, I would recommend this place. BTW -- they do offer some wines by the glace, and have some good bottles on offer (although not inexpensive). read more

Came to Morton's for a business dinner. I've tried a couple of steakhouses in Toronto including Hy's and The Barbarian. Let me tell you this, it is a challenging task to get your steak to your liking in this city. Even reputable restaurants like One tends to overcook a $90 steak. The interior design of the restaurant has classic undertones. The lights are dimly lit, the combination of black and grey seem to be the dominant choice of color in the furniture. The tables are organized meticulously, with perfect silverware and white cloth. The overall vibe is the 80s grown up, don't expect any sort of hipness out of this place. It is the pure form a classic dining experience, old-school steak and scotch. Our server was Richard was personable and was very well trained in the art of waiting. Proceeded with a couple of classic cocktails, I ordered an old fashioned, which was unfortunately executed poorly with dilution through too much ice. I expected to be served a proper cocktail at such a place. Ordered shrimp cocktail and ahi tuna tower as appetizers. Shrimp cocktail was good, but not great, the shrimp had great texture but lacked flavor. Ahi tuna was ok, it was challenging to experience the flavor of tune with all the other ingredients. Alas, thats the curse of the classic steakhouse experience ingredients are chosen to overpower each other on a dish rather than complimenting each other and showcasing the freshness of the fish. The main course was the absolute highlight. That is the reason why you must come and have a slab of meat at this establishment. I ordered a 24oz porterhouse medium rare. I was so focused on my food I actually did not pay a single bit of attention to what my dinner companions ordered. The steak was cooked perfectly, it wasn't medium, it wasn't rare, it was medium rare. It was seasoned perfectly, the level of salt and pepper was absolutely fantastic. Juicy, yet with a lot of flavors and great texture. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys and appreciates eating steak. At the end of the day, if you're going out for steak might as well do it right, go to Morton's. PS: I apologize for the lack of pictures, as it was a business dinner, I could not uncontrollably take pictures like I was visiting the Louvre museum read more

The food here was delicious - service was extraordinary as well! If you like steak, you must add this to your bucket list. read more

Morton's The Steakhouse - Steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I was very excited to come here as I've heard it is a tried-and-true high end steakhouse in Toronto. From the get-go the service was very strange - the hostess did not check my coat and informed me that a coat check would be available upstairs at our corporate event - there was not. I was not led to my table and walked by two hosts who completely ignored me. I don't want to sound like a princess but I kind of expected better at such a reputable place in Yorkville. Unfortunately, my filet mignon was below average (somehow very grainy texture, not enough char) and others who also ordered filet mignon agreed. Another guest at the table had the sea bass and said it was very fishy with a weird taste - she did not finish her meal. I did enjoy the appetizers (tuna crisps crab cake, mozarella and tomato on toasts) and the scalloped potatoes. The bread was unremarkable - tasted like store bought rolls. The key lime pie was okay. Our server upstairs was wonderful (which was a nice change from the hostess experience), but the food was such a disappointment that I won't be back. read more

I just finished my first ever experience at Morton's Steakhouse. I called ahead and made a reservation for one, of course. Unfortunately, the taxi driver dropped me off four blocks from where the restaurant was actually located. He said yes it's at the light just behind us. Not so much. Well, once I arrived at Morton's, I was treated like royalty. Very nice host and hostess as well as wait staff. I had the lobster bisque which was fantastic. I've had a lot of lobster bisque over the years and this ranks in my top three. I then ordered the mixed selection of a 6 ounce filet - medium - with four jumbo grilled shrimp. To my surprise, there were two large garlic and butter seared asparagus stocks as well. I love some well-cooked asparagus. For cocktails, I had multiple amaretto sours and they were spot on. All in all, if you are in the area and love a great steak, I would suggest visiting Morton's. read more

Came back to Morton's and was happy to find not much has changed. Food is still amazing. Service relatively fast. Ambiance remains intimate and cozy Just had to... RECOMMEND- Le filet mignon (with black truffle butter in my case) EXTRA TIP- if you like full bodies reds, pair the above with the "rare red" Cabernet that's got a chocolatey truffle undertone. Available by the glass at this time. Heaven! read more

I've gone to Mortons frequently over the years for both business and personal. Last night November 12 was the first time since before covid. Although we had wanted a booth the only one available was by the kitchen. Our table was by the mirrors was comfortable and quiet. This was fine as there were a few large tables and place was very busy. Our server was totally a professional very cheerful and helpful. I told her I was celiac and she informed me of any problems. We had the filet mignon and lobster tail and the porterhouse. The mignon was smaller than I've had previously, but cooked rare plus perfectly, as was the lobster. I used as few drops of the truffles butter over my steak. The porterhouse was med rare and sliced which kept it perfect. The Caesar salad was not at all good very bland I would not suggest it. The Burrata salad was tasty, however could use more of the greens and chutney to balance the cheese. The smoked gouda and bacon au gratin potatoes I couldn't eat as there was panko in and I'm celiac. I'm told it was delicious, but that it did not need the panko. Which was sad as I would have had some it looked so good. The worst part of was the brussel sprouts, they were so bad we didn't eat them. They were limp, like they were thrown in a pot and boiled with no apparent seasoning. We did tell our server when she asked if everything was to our satisfaction. Graciously she took them off the bill. However, in a restaurant of this ranking and calibre the salads and sides should also be to perfection. There are many excellent steak houses in Toronto, Mortons is definitely one of them. While I was disappointed that someone in the kitchen did not oversee the sides. The mains were done to perfection. Overall our experience was a good one. All the staff were very professional and courteous the ambience is wonderful. Looking around you could see the other patrons were having fun, and enjoying themselves. As we did too. read more

I came here for my Valentine's Day dinner and was blown away by the quality of both food and service. Thank goodness we made reservations two weeks prior otherwise we'd end up like the poor folks getting turned down by the hostess.. "Sorry, the next available table is 10:45pm" Oddly, when we were seated in the dining area upstairs, there were plenty of empty tables. There were a around five more couples dining around us and the atmosphere was nice and quiet - Morton's certainly knows how to keep things romantic! They could have easily doubled their income for the night if all those tables were filled, but it would have been like a loud pub experience. The filet mignon was pretty much the most tender I've ever tasted - everything about it was perfect. I've made up my mind that's what I'm ordering every time I visit Morton's! The Parmesan truffle matchstick fries were soooo delicious.. It was like eating crispy fat seasoned with the perfect amount of white truffle. We had the legendary hot chocolate cake for dessert. It was warm in the center and served with vanilla ice cream. I could have done without it - I didn't think it was too legendary. We gladly paid $25 for a Landry's membership card which would be credited back to our bill during our next visit. We're entitled to redeemable points and can be used at all Landry restaurants and locations. You also receive a $25 birthday reward, redeemable until the 15th of the month after. Morton's, I will be back! read more

Well I have been going to this location for probably 20 years. I own a resturant which makes me a bit more forgiving on certain things but super critical on service and experience. Tonight felt like I was thrown back to the roaring 80's - the place was packed ( on a Wednesday night) the energy was great - what pandemic ! Our server Dee has worked there 15 years - what a pro ! When you experience a professional server the whole experience goes to another level. Every food item was perfect and delicious - service top notch - floor manager stopped by to check on everything - entire experience a 10 ! Peter the general manager has been there forever and ties it all together into what dining out is supposed to be. Perfection. read more

I had very high expectations for Morton's after hearing all the positive comments people have made regarding its food, service and atmosphere. However when I had my dinner here last sunday night my expectations were anything but fulfilled. I won't get ahead of myself and i will start off with a positive. The food was very good. The steak had good seasoning and actually had flavour to it. Maybe it was a little salty but i enjoyed it. The truffle fries were very large and great sharables as well as other appetizers and sides like the tuna tower and the Brussel sprouts. There are no complaints on the end of food. We started to fall off the wagon when the waiter seemed to be in a rush and didn't give our party proper time to sit down relax talk and order. He jumped down our throats to put down our main courses. Immediately after ordering our mains we were questioned about our desert. Take in we were asked about our desert before we even got appetizers. Our food then began to come and we were a large party of 13 people so slight confusion is expected however we didn't get 4 appetizers ordered. We brought it up to our waiter after and he didn't have a good reason as to why we didn't get what we ordered. When our mains began to come it was evident we ordered way to may shareable. Our table was literally covered in fries. It was frustrating as it appeared as the waiter didn't care about our experience rather just wanted us to spend as much money as possible. Overall yes i did like the food however if i am paying over 50$ for the cheapest steak and my meal going to cost easily over 200$ i am expecting to have a good dining experience, not feel rushed out as if i am only there for my money and no one caring about the experience one has at the establishment. There are a lot more steakhouses in the city that i recommend and that have better service and treat customers as more than a customer, they make you feel like you own the place, and when your paying that much you should feel that way. read more

I joined Yelp and wanted to review this place after I went over Xmas. Let me warn you that the price tag on the things at Morton's can be steep but it's not the most outrageous I've seen. I came here early to celebrate my birthday and the place was pretty empty as it was a Tuesday or Wednesday. They seated us immediately and our server came over to take a drink order from us. We ordered a round of beers and had a look over the list. We weren't sure how much food to order so we decided that we'd get an appetizer, each a steak and order 2 sides. We ordered a shrimp appetizer, 2 NY strip steaks (medium rare), hash and spinach. We ordered another beer of course! Let me tell you the shrimp I had was FANTASTIC! It was extremely delicious, cooked perfectly and that made me very excited to try the steak. I mean if the shrimp appetizer was this good I was really looking forward to the main. When the steak arrived I had a thought in my head that I made a mistake. Maybe we ordered to much food? I cut into it and I'm positive that was one of the 3 best steaks I've ever had! The hash wasn't to good, I thought it was a little to crisp and dry. I wasn't a fan of the spinach either so I decided to stay away from them and finish my steak first. Well here's were things got difficult. About 3/4 of the way through the meal I wasn't sure if I could finish the steak, it was just that filling but seeing how amazing the steak was I decided that I was going to let the sides sit. After some struggling I finished the what was the most memorable steak I've had in quite sometime. I can't wait to come back here again and next time I'm going with 1 side between 2 people and I know not to get the 2 sides I ordered previously. Thanks Morton's for a very nice night of dining. Your staff is all class! read more

Loved it at Morton's! :) Food was terrific and service was excellent - our waitress came back to check us in good intervals and knew the menu inside out. The champagne she recommended was lovely. I'd recommend the Center-Cut Filet Mignon and their Signature Cut Prime New York Strip. Cooked medium rare, it was delicious!! We also ordered mashed potatoes on the side - buttery and creamy, very nice. The Morton's Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake is highly recommended. It was soooo good. For chocolate lovers out there, you'll definitely enjoy this! We enjoyed this very much despite being really full from all the food. There's always room for desserts :D read more

Morton's is okay, but I don't think I'll be coming back. The steaks are cooked well, ambiance is alright and service is decent... nothing quite stands out. I couldn't help but think of the better steaks I could be having elsewhere for only a little bit more. I think that is the challenge for Morton's - it's too average. Morton's steaks are aged for less than 30 days, so when you compare that against other steakhouses where you can choose from 30, 45, 60, 75+ day dry aged steaks, you can't help be lean towards the latter. (Especially since you're already paying a $$$$ price.) The bread was sizable and that's about it, the sides were forgettable and the appetizers looked better than they tasted. The desserts were good. A member of my party didn't like the way her steak was prepared, and the restaurant was nice enough to bring her another steak and take it off the bill. That was a kind gesture. You'll get good steaks here at Morton's, but will it blow your mind? Probably not. read more

Came here for my dad's birthday dinner and enjoyed the old-school classy vibe. Joe Mimran (of Joe Fresh) sat a couple tables over. Don't know which steak to order? I strongly recommend the Chicago-style bone-in rib eye. It's the most marbled cut, thus the most flavourful, cooked Chicago style--i.e. black on the outside, pink on the inside ("that's how I like my women" commented my husband....uggh.. ;) ) Seriously, that is one CHOICE steak, cooked to perfection. (PS I like it medium-rare "plus"....that is, just a smidge more than medium rare.) Also done to perfection was the macaroni and cheese. It's a MUST if you're looking for a rich side dish. The matchstick fries were far less impressive. Chopped salad, lobster cocktail, oysters, shrimp alexander.....all were delicious. The bill for 6 people was about $550 (although we didn't purchase alcohol; instead we brought 3 bottles of wine for corkage).......still, that's really not that bad, considering my husband recently went to Jacob's with a buddy and they spent about as much money, just for TWO people. Although: me/hubby shared a steak at Morton's and so did my mom/brother. So....it depends! Service was mixed; at one point the waitress disappeared for awhile which kind of annoyed us. Also, check out this transparent money grab...they ask for your dessert order BEFORE dinner because "they take awhile to cook'. Okay, that makes sense when you're talking about souffle (which Mortons offers in multiple flavours) but a chocolate cake or fudge sundae?? Are you really cooking those from scratch every time? So basically they wanna lock you into dessert while you're still hungry. Clever ploy. And it worked :) Classic joint. Recommended. read more

Not worth the price or hype. We had a really disappointing meal here. Upon arriving we ended up waiting ages because the young lady left in charge of seating was still learning and didn't know where to seat us (not her fault). The restaurant was mostly empty and we had a reservation. When her manager arrived some time later we got no apology from him for the wait. We were given a wine list and made to wait for our menus, which was strange, as normally you order wine to complement your food choices. When we asked for menus the waitress was short with us. Bread and butter was delived without a bread or butter knife. And my steak knife wasn't swapped out even though I didn't order a steak, which made eating awkward. Sides were terribly bland, as were my king crab legs, which either had too many freezes on them or had just been in the freezer too long. My husband said his steak was good, but nothing amazing. My glass of wine was the highlight. No one checked on us during our meal, and it took a very long time for someone to sort our bill so we could leave. You pay far more than it's worth here, it feels like a chain and attention to detail is lacking. We are more than happy to pay more for a great meal out, this definitely didn't fall into that category. read more

Came here last night with a party of 9 for Christmas Eve dinner. It was my second time dining at a Morton restaurant and I have to say it didn't disappoint at all. The house salad had a great mixture of flavors and the steak was cooked to a perfect medium, just the way I love it. The Parmesan and Truffle fries is a must try, best fries I've ever had!!! They are cut super thin and the flavour is to die for. We also got the chocolate lava cake and creme brûlée for dessert, both were yum but I was too full to enjoy them properly. Overall, another great experience at Morton. Will definitely revisit again. read more

The clientele is high end and the restaurant is well decorated with very dim lighting I had wine , filet mignon with side of Brussels sprouts and it was phenomenal. Came with a hefty price but well worth it ... I work hard and I play hard .. it's definelty not a weekly tradition but with the company of a great group of friends it can be a memorable night. read more

Mortons Steakhouse, a classic staple in Yorkville. I've always enjoyed this restaurant...great service...delicious steaks and pricey menu. When you come to Mortons you know you're not Going to walk out with a cheap bill, however it's well worth the money. Tonight with a group of 15 people we dined upstairs in the private room...I got the chance to try a variety of items. Started with their famous Tuna TarTar tower... Explosive flavored by beware a bit spicy. Also ordered the shrimp cocktails... Yes it only comes with 4/5 shrimps but man they are H U G E! The best shrimp in the world. Next the bread the brought to the table was fresh, hot and delish. Honest.. I could've made a meal out of the bread. Alright now listen if you're ever going to share a steak with someone order the porter house... You will not regret it. It was melt in your mouth better than Jacob & Co. Also had the crab cakes-- wouldn't order them again ...they were fishy. Tried the braised beef.. Very delish. ANYWAYS if you have room in your tummy for dessert you have to get the classic chocolate lava cake. Mortons is for special occasions... Book a table. read more

Morton's The Steakhouse - Don't be alarmed by the price... You'll have leftovers. - Steakhouses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Appetizer: Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops Main Course: 12 oz Filet Mignon + Fillet of Fresh Salmon Topped with Jumbo Lump Crabmeat with Shrimps Side Dishes: Jumbo Asparagus + Twice Baked Au Gratin Potatoes Dessert: Large Souffle for Two (Raspberry) The Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops was around $24 and it came with 3 scallops. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the bacon wasn't burnt or charred. The dish came with a sweet and tangy sauce for the scallops and it was very delightful. The only thing I wasn't too happy with was the portions, I had hoped for $24 it would have came with at least 4. Overall, I would still recommend this dish. Rating: 4/5 I had ordered the Filet Mignon medium rare and it was around $78. The steak was a little bit more cooked on the sides, but the center was more characteristic of medium rare. The core of the steak melted on your tongue and was delicious. The sides of the steak was a little bit more dry and overcooked. I probably wouldn't order this again; not because it was bad, but because it wasn't anything special (for my tastes at least). Rating: 4/5 Regarding the Filet of Fresh Salmon with Shrimps, I can't comment too much on this as I had only a small taste of it. The price was around $59. The shrimps were very good and wasn't overcooked. The lumps of crabmeat were very fresh and complimented the dish. The salmon looked a little bit dry, but that may be because it was ordered to be well done. It also came with a few asparagus as sides which was a surprise. Rating: 4/5 Regarding the side dishes, the Jumbo Asparagus was around $14 and it was okay. It was drizzled with balsamic vinegar and the quality was good (there weren't any parts too stringy or hard to chew). I would probably recommend this, but at the time we had ordered a sharing portion and I ended up having to eat it all so it was too much (her dish came with asparagus). Rating: 4/5 The Twice Baked Au Gratin Potatoes was around $14/$17 and it was pretty good. They used an aged sharp cheddar for the dish so it may not be for everyone. I would recommend this dish as I enjoyed it very much. Rating: 5/5 Finally, the Large Souffle for Two. The price of the dish was around $20 and is meant for 2 people to share (They have a "regular" size, but it may be a bit small for two). There are many other flavors that you can choose, but the ones I remember are: Vanilla/Chocolate/Cognac or Grand Marnier(?)/Raspberry. This dish was very light and fluffy and although it was large, it didn't fill you up. Even after the large meal, I was able to eat the whole dessert surprisingly. Overall, I would highly recommend trying this dish at least once as it's a really unique eating experience (to me at least, perhaps it's because it's the first time I had a souffle). The restaurant atmosphere was very dim and quiet. Additionally, the staff seemed extremely knowledgeable. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant if you were looking for a nice restaurant to spoil yourself. While it is expensive, the price could be reduced to around $75 per person if you don't over order like we did. Our price per person came out to be around $130 after tax and tips, which is a fair price in my opinion. read more

one of my favourite restaurants. they never disappoint. the lobster mac is my favourite. in my opinion, the lobster mac & fries are big enough to be shared amongst 4 people, considering that they are side dishes. i usually get the chef selection of filet mignon & lobster tail for $75. the lobster tails are big & made very well. the cooking of my steak is always perfect. it's never under cooked or over cooked. just make sure to let them know not to char it, as i think it takes all the flavour away. they offer add ons for your steak. i've tried both the oscar style (it has crab meat and asparagus with bernaise sauce) & the black truffle butter. both options are a hit. just depends on what you're feeling for. the scallops and the lobster ravioli on the appetizer list is made very well. the shrimp cocktail is kind of spicy, like has a wasabi flavour to it, but the shrimp are really big. the service is perfect. the price may be expensive but you pay for what you get. it's totally worth it. read more

What a disappointment. Went to Morton's for a nice steak dinner which you also expect comes with exquisite service. Not here. First off I ordered the Ultra Premium martini for $21.95. Our server not the bartender made the drink. Here is how she did it - take shaker pour in vodka add two ice cubes shake and put in a warm martini glass. I asked for Olives because the menu said that they hand stuff their olives with blue cheese which I thought would be interesting. Didn't get to try them as they were just plain old regular olives. My friend and I split four appetizers and he asked if any had tomatoes in them as he does not eat them. Our server said she would serve them without tomatoes. Guess what? They came with tomatoes and were an integral part of the dish which was not mentioned on the menu either. We were not served the good looking onion bread loaf like other tables. Of course with sharing appetizers your side plates get rather messy. No attempt by our server to remove them or the utensils from the first courses. Had to ask for that. Got water stained steak knives. Not necessarily the end of the world but not what you would expect from a high-end restaurant. We ordered baked potato and onion rings with our steaks. I must say the onion rings were very good. Although the most outrageous and perhaps funniest part of the whole meal was when the server asked us if we would like toppings on our potato. She had 3 metal pails which we could not see what they contained nor did she tell us. After asking we said yes to sour cream, butter, and bacon bits. She did not ask how much we wanted and proceeded to slop a large ladle of each from about about two feet away from the potato. My friend and I tried to dodge the flying condiments. She dropped sour cream on the table and made no attempt to clean it up apart for moving the onion rings on top of it. When I pointed it out to her she then took the cocktail napkin from under my friends drink and swiped it up with that. The bone in rib eye was cooked properly but is a steak house and for $63 you would kind of expect that. What a waste. read more

Sometimes a special occasion just calls for a giant hunk of meat. In fact, I will call for a giant hunk of meat right now. "Meat?" "Meat!" "MMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT!!!!!!!" That's what dining at Morton's is like. An unabashed opportunity to set loose your inner carnivore, in hopes of decimating some hapless steer that wandered too close to the stun gun. Portions are huge. Rational people would share the rib or fillet one per table. I see the place as a challenge to my very manhood; a bloody gauntlet thrown to the floor, then picked up and used to wipe away the Meat-Sweat to follow. Beware, the wait staff are worse enablers than family members who crash the Pasadena Recovery Centre on "Celebrity Rehab". They ply you with expensive liquor, and set before you a whole onion bread and slab of butter. You attack the bread with a viciously serrated wood-handled knife, and slather it with animal fat (i.e. butter). You wolf it down before the waiter, now smirking, comes back to take your order. You barely look up from the oniony, poppy-seedsed crumbs, wipe the butter from your jowls and command the onion soup, the platter of hot seafoods, or if you want to be laughed at, a salad. The onion soup is a flaming cauldron of cheese set atop a thick crouton. It's pleasant, but oddly light-one suspects it's made with chicken stock (which is odd, considering the sheer number of beef carcasses that must roll through the place). The onions are also slightly underdone. The cheese is well-blistered, but the whole thing feels half-baked. The hot seafood platter is better executed, but shared between two people it only serves to whet the appetite. Oysters rockefeller are the highlight, mainly because of the creamed spinach involved. I loves me some creamed spinach. Enough of this silliness, you want to say. BRING ME MEAT!!! And they do; massive cuts of cornfed US Prime, which blows its pale Alberta cousins out of the pasture. This is manly beef. The kind of beef that, were it to encounter you on a beach, clad in its fashionable speedos, with a large-uddered cow on it's arm, would kick sand in your face with its dainty hooves. It is a beefgasm. Sides would be a waste of belly space, if they weren't so good. Giant tempura onion rings are a meal in themselves. Cottage fried potatoes lie somewhere between mythic hashbrowns and Rosti's butch cousin from the wrong side of the tracks. Fat and juicy asparagus benefit from an application of hollandaise (because God knows you need more fat in this meal). Creamed spinach deserves it's own restaurant, it's that damn good. Vibrant green, freshly chopped and laden with garlic, I praise it. If you have room for dessert or coffee--no, if you can finish your plate, you must have a tapeworm. Go to the doctor. Now. read more

If you can afford to eat here, do it. And I say that in a "I can't afford to eat anywhere other than Shoeless Joe's" way, because really, it's not like it's THAT outrageous. A decent size steak will run you about $50 here, and you can order your sides a-la-cart. Unless you have a truly mammoth appetite, you don't need much more than their "light" size ribeye and a salad, or a side of the delicious sauteed mushrooms or asparagus. The steak is melty-in-your-mouth delicious. It's the kind of place that just makes me rejoice in being a meat eater. The first bite is a religious experience, and I tell myself it's good for me. I'm warding off anemia! At least I'm not eating my weight in pie! Could be worse! If you can afford to pair your steak with a delicious red wine, do that, too. Or better yet, go with someone who can afford to not spend the whole time thinking about what they can afford and you'll have a truly amazing steak experience. As for the stars, I give it four because I am young, have many steaks and steak places to try yet and I don't really feel comfortable declaring anything as "best of the best" ... but I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed with your meal here. read more

Show him how much you care... by buying him fancy meat. Morton's is the perfect venue for a special dinner. Food, service, and ambiance, this steak house has all the elements for a great night out. Morton's provided us with exceptional service throughout our entire experience with them. When making a reservation over the phone, they were very friendly and asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. They print off a menu with your name and date on it! They make cute souvenirs (which I totally left on the table). They are able to confirm your reservation via email and once you hang up the phone, the email has been sent. Even though I changed the reservation two times, there's always another email reminder and no attitude. Upon arrival the doormen greeted us with smiles and the hostess was very welcoming and apologetic that we had to wait a few minutes. The ambiance is still slightly older due to the price point, but Morton's is not as stuffy and dark as some other high-end steak places I have been too. The lighting is perfect and the dining room is still high energy and busy. Once we were seated, the waiter gave us a detailed run-down of the new menu items and brought us bread. It surprised me that the bread is almost like an onion loaf... and you have to cut yourself! Also, there wasn't a separate butter knife, so you have to daintily slather whipped butter onto your jagged self-cut bread with a gigantic serrated blade. For appetizers, we had the lobster cocktail and fried crab cake. The lobster cocktail isn't large (3 oz) but fresh and simple. The crab cake with pretty fantastic, crispy, and flavourful. I had the mixed plate with a 6oz steak, 2 bacon wrapped scallops, and 3 medium sized shrimp. Morton's version of surf and turf! There are lots of sides to choose from, we ordered the sauteed spinach and mushrooms and the garlic mash. Both great with our meals. The mash had chunks of potato in it, so good! There are some desserts that need to be ordered with your main because of preparation time. The souffles are popular, but we wanted something with ice cream. The chocolate lava cake topped with a vanilla scoop was perfect. It was oozy in the middle and super decadent yummy. I would have given Morton's 5 stars but I hate cutting my own bread! ...And one of the steaks was a bit overcooked. The servers do ask if your steak was prepared as requested. When we told the server it was overdone, they offered to make us a new one, but we declined and kept eating. ...A second server came by to ask us about our meal and steak and offered us a new one again. We declined and continued eating. .....One of the house managers came by to ask us about our meal and steak. ........Another manager came by to ask us about our meal and steak. They surprised us by taking $25 off the bill, which was a nice gesture. It was a still a $300 dollar dinner (including a bottle of wine), but I appreciated all their efforts to bring us a new steak and the service was really top-notch. Overall, it was a fantastic dinner and I wouldn't hesitate to return! =) read more

I love Morton's...don't get me wrong. i've been to many Morton's Steak Houses in the USA...I used to work for a winery and they sold some of our wines, so I have been to many of their restaurants before. I must say that the Toronto restaurant isn't as great as their American counterparts. The food is very good -- it's dependable steaks cooked very well. The side dishes are always great as well....as is the dessert (souffle is always a huge treat!!). What i was not impressed with was their appetizers. One one trip to Morton's Toronto, we ordered the beef sliders....and the beef inside the mini buns was the size of the tip of a thumb!!! Crazy when you spend almost 20 bucks for 3 small sliders that have minuscule meat portions that can hardly be seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We wrote the management telling them what we thought and basically were given a FOD letter back...which I thought was pretty tacky given that we were complaining about the lack of portion size of their food!!!! So, all in all, a bitter taste when it comes to Morton's Toronto. Still giving it 3 stars because the maincourse meals were good...but a big "poo-poo" to the mini-appetizer and the management response! read more

I've been to most of the high end steakhouses in Toronto so I decided to check out Mortons to see how they compare. I must say that they are definitely up there. I had the Chicago Style Prime Bone-In Rib Eye cooked rare, which was excellently prepared. It was rare evenly all through out the steak. Got the Parmesan & Truffle Matchstick Fries and Creamed Spinach which were both rich in flavor. For dessert we got their Legendary Sundae which had a neat warm/cold combination. Prices are on the higher end but the quality is definitely there. Ambience and service were great too. Strongly recommend! read more

To begin, I am honored to be the first one to review this fine establishment. Morton's is one of those places that you go for a special occasion, or when someone else is footing the bill. ;-) Because it sure is not cheap. Expect to pay around $100 pp for a three course meal, including drinks. My uncle was in town for a visit, and he had a hankering for a good hamburger. Seeing as though he was staying at the Avenue Park Hyatt, we weren't about to go to McDonald's. Instead we moseyed on down to Morton's next door to the hotel. For my dinner I ordered the sea bass ($42). I know what you're thinking, how can you go to a steak joint and order fish. Well, I guess I like to swim against the current. I was looking for something a little more on the lighter side. Moreover, I knew that my girlfriend was going to be ordering a steak, so I knew that I would at the very least get a taste of what I was missing. For starters, I went with the French Onion Soup topped with Swiss Cheese ($12). It was served piping hot and tasted just as French Onion Soup should. It was perfect. No complaints. My girlfriend and my uncle ordered the Caesar Salad. Also heard no complaints in that department. For dessert, I ordered the molten lava cake, topped with Haagen Daas ice cream. Too bad I was pretty stuffed by that point because I'm sure that it would have tasted better than it actually did. I was so full by the end that I was ready to be rolled out on a cart. Also, the service was impeccable and the ambiance was wonderful. I have no reason to award Morton's anything less than 5 stars. read more

This is, in my opinion, the kind of place you go with your family to celebrate a special occasion. I didn't find it to be romantic and probably wouldn't go here on a date. However, they treat you like kings. I said it was my birthday when I made the reservation online, so they customize your menu to say Happy Birthday, and they also give you a free dessert -- AND IT'S DELICIOUS. In comparison to other steakhouses, it feels special but without being insanely overpriced. I like the Keg if you're just looking for steak on a random day, whereas Jacobs & Co would cost about 5 times as much money but you're not really getting that much of a different experience. In fact, the desserts I've had at Jacobs & Co are not good and this dessert was delicious, and the variety and choice of sides is better at Morton's. And you still see celebrities (we did!) at Morton's. Our server Brent was really friendly and efficient, not at all uptight or formal. The food was all delicious, but skip the onion rings, they are too crispy and nothing special. Wine selection was good. I really had a great time, and will probably be back for a special occasion again. read more

If your are looking for a GREAT steak but don't mind spending the extra money then look no further. I give Morton's 4 stars only for the fact that its very expensive. The food is deff 5 stars. Ive been to this location 5 times and each time i have left extremely satisfied. I highly recommend making reservations and using the valet parking as its the same cost to park in a parking lot. Service is hands down some of the best services I have ever seen in almost all my restaurant experiences. My usual is the Cajun Rib Eye steak. Its huge and always cooked to perfection. When my wallet allows me to I will deff be back to eat here read more

Great place, the prices have fall quite a bit on the steaks and some dishes!! Loved the food and great desert read more

Had some trouble making online reservations through their website but was able to get one over the phone in less than 1 minute, which was great. Told them it was an anniversary dinner and they prepared custom menus with a sweet message for my partner and I! Compliments to the entire staff for the amazing service throughout the whole process. The manager even pulled our table out of the booth for us so we could comfortably enter and sit. Our server was very knowledgeable, answered questions, made recommendations and checked in with us frequently. He also skillfully cleaned the crumbs off our table after we were done with the bread & butter. The complimentary bread to-start was so surprisingly good, my partner and I almost stuffed ourselves before our food even arrived. The oyster appetizers, were fresh but overpriced... The porterhouse steak & prime ribeye steak were both delicious and cooked perfectly! However, I would recommend the ribeye over the porterhouse since it was more flavorful, juicy and tender. For sides, we ordered the brussel sprouts with bacon & twice baked cheesy potatoes, which were below expectations unfortunately. The brussel sprouts were a bit undercooked and the potatoes came as large thick chunks topped with what resembled nacho cheese.. We barely touched the potatoes and didn't even want to take it to-go at the end of our meal. Dessert was kindly given on the house, which was a chocolate lava cake with french vanilla ice cream. Loved our experience here and would recommend! Although it is pricey, the steaks here are well worth it and much better than what I've had at other upscale steakhouses. Side dishes were disappointing but service helped make up for it. read more

I visited Morton's with a group of about 12 guys, and we were all quite impressed. If you have a group that large, definitely go for a private room. It's a bit of a hassle in that you need to have a minimum number of people, minimum order, etc., but it's a much better experience when you have your own private space. We started off with some cocktails, and I would recommend getting a Manhattan with Maker's Mark bourbon. It went down very smooth! The cocktails are a bit pricey (these were $20), so I thought it was a good idea to switch to beer afterwards. They only have bottled beer here, but the selection was decent enough. In terms of the steak, which of course is the main event here, get the Chicago-style prime bone-in ribeye. Our bartender swore it was the best steak and to get it medium rare and charred, so we took his advice. I don't usually do bone-in steaks, but I think I've been missing out! The steak was very tender and juicy, and the meat closest to the bone had so much flavour! I also had a bit of the blue cheese butter, which was an excellent garnish. We also had some sides. I would recommend the au gratin potatoes and the grilled asparagus, which were both excellent. The service was friendly and attentive. This isn't the best steakhouse I've ever visited, but it was very good and one of the best in Toronto. read more

Morton's is probably one of my other favourite steakhouse apart from house of Chen. I have been here a couple of times. Each time the steak and how its cooked, doesn't disappoint. Whether its the Morton's in Toronto or in Chicago (after all its where it all started).. it lives to its reputation of being a steakhouse. I always have the smallest 6 oz steak cooked medium rare. They also have a vast and good selection of wine list. However if you're looking for a place to converse and talk. This is definitely not the place. Its a busy restaurant especially weekend, so it tends to get noisy with chitter chatter all around you. The only disappointment which I had was I had a look into the menu on their website and also saw a banner which advertised a lobster tail along with a steak with some mash on as sides. But when I arrived and asked to order what I had seen on the website menu and banner, it wasn't available. Being told by the waiter that it was something which they will only carry during Mother's Day. Disappointment filled me quickly. To end the night, the historical Molton Lava chocolate cake was ordered. It required a wait of at least 20 minutes, so don't order this if you're on a time crunch. But the wait time actually gave the meal sometime to digest. Rich and warm, the chocolate made a good combination with the vanilla ice-cream. Nothing much has changed since the last time I paid a visit to this restaurant. read more

Professional operation. Service is top notch. Always can count on a good experience. Steaks cooked right on. Mashed potatoes left to be desired. Onion rings were really good. Salad and dessert just ok. read more

Good food and excellent views, at a price. Could have used more waitstaff, they were rushing around and the restaurant was only half-full. read more

Morton's The Steakhouse - Menu photo 2019/09/21 - Steakhouses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I went to Mortons' Steakhouse for a treat. My boyfriend and I just bought a renovation property that we are renovating so we thought we'd celebrate! I've been to harbour sixty which is amazing but I've heard great things about Mortons so I thought Id give them a try. I had the new york strip as I usually do at steak houses. I'm not sure that I appreciate seeing the meat before it's cooked but i can see why others may want to see the cut. I ordred my steak and of course at these places you have to order the sides separately. I ordered garlic mash, and asparagus. I also ordered a side of sliced tomato which I like with steak which was not on the menu. I cut into my steak and it was a little overdone but still delicious. The food was ok...nothing to rant and rave about. What really pissed me off was when the bill came. Yes I expect to pay more at these expensive places but my special order of tomato slices was an additional $18!!! Are you kidding me $18 for a tomato! Definitely left a sour taste in my mouth. I think I will stick to harbour sixty when I want to treat myself! The restuaryant itself is pretty dark and dungeon looking. no outside view at least where we were sitting or most parts of the restaurant. Service, not overly friendly but professional. read more

This is my absolute favorite steak house in the city. Yes yes I know others are more expensive or the décor isn't as trendy as others but this is a classic elegant old school steakhouse where everything is done right. I also love how this place isn't pretentious like some other steak houses. It has a more cozy vibe. Jeans and a T Shirt? No problem. They still treat you like a human being. First off service is great. Always friendly and eager to make you happy. The large onion roll they start off with is always warm, super fresh and delicious. I usually skip the appetizers and go right to the steak. Me and my bro always split the filet and the New York strip. Cooked Medium Rare Plus. That's right PLUS. Just a little more then medium rare. Steaks are always cooked to perfection. Sweet salty and soft inside with char on the outside. You always have the get the fries on the side. They are simply the best fries In the city. Trust me I have tried them all. Always money well spent and if it wasn't for my cholesterol I would be here weekly. read more
