Fantastic steakhouse located downtown Cincinnati near Fountain Square. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and spent a lively time at the bar while waiting for all of our party to arrive. The views from this 2nd story location were great and contributed to the ambiance of the dining room. Several appetizers were ordered, but the prosciutto wrapped mozzarella sticks were particularly good. I believe they were served with a balsamic glaze and red onions; not what I was expecting, but really good. My entrees was a New York strip steak served Oscar style with crabmeat and asparagus. My wife had the Chicken Christopher, 2 boneless chicken breast’s, flattened and served with a creamy combination chicken broth/white wine sauce with onions, garlic and parmesan cheese. Both entrees were great and cooked to perfection; unfortunately, they were served luke warm — my rationale for the single star deduction. Perhaps that was a result of the size of our party (9 people), but I still expected more from a seasoned, high-price steakhouse. The service was great as we were fortunate to have Zach taking care of us. Plenty of garage parking is available very nearby, and valet parking is offered on weekends. I will definitely return, but only as a couple or two. Finally, note that management did make up for the cold food.

Came in on Christmas and sat at the bar. The food was delicious and service was excellent I knocked off a star due to parking.. The restaurant is located downtown and there was no street parking allowed I didn’t see anyone at the restaurant to Valet the car so me and a few other cars risked it and parked where there were no street parking signs in front of the restaurant thankfully we didn’t get a ticket or worse a Tow! There’s a hotel across the street with public/valet parking which I heard a few folks in the restaurant say they utilized.

Hubby and I went here for our fifth anniversary this evening. Everything was excellent!! The steaks were so tender we could cut them with our forks. They gave us a free dessert and took a photo and placed it in a frame for us. Love how they make special moments into sweet memories. My husband got the wagyu steak, and was NOT disappointed! He didn’t stop smiling for a couple of hours. Lol.

Blown away!! From the moment we stepped foot into the building we were treated with the upmost care and professionalism. This was our first time dining at Morton’s and wow. It was for our 21st anniversary which we made note of this while booking the reservation. Nowadays when customer care is non existent everyone that greeted us acknowledged our anniversary!!
Now to the service and food: Cajun steak was out this world tender and flavorful, took me to another world dancing with pink elephants
Chicken Christopher was delicious bursting with flavor, juicy, and crispy. Brussels sprouts with bacon!! Sour cream mashed potatoes amazing
Alcohol drinks: Watermelon smash & Blackberry Mojito excellent
Atmosphere: Good lighting, furniture, and clean carpet, and enough space between tables to still allow some private conversation
Our host Julie (I hope she doesn’t mind giving her name) made our experience so enjoyable. Very attentive, made excellent suggestions to add to the meal, and had a personality that was professional but not to serious. I don’t even know what they are paying her but they need to give her a raise!!
Overall I can’t say enough about how great or experience was. Would definitely recommend to anyone for a great experience. We will be returning

I visited this restaurant for dinner with my husband and another couple this past Friday. I really like this restaurant but unfortunately, meals and service are inconsistent. Our last dinner was disappointing. For some reason, the first round of drinks always takes a long time to arrive. The dining room was busy and I don’t know if the bartender needs help but it really shouldn’t take 20 minutes to get a drink. Also, after the drinks were delivered, one of the orders was wrong. We weren’t seeing our server, Fernando, so my friend got up and walked to the bar for a fresh drink. This shouldn’t happen in a restaurant considered as fine dining. My husband order the pork chop. It was a generous size and he said it was very good. Our side dish of potatoes au gratin was also very good and more than enough for two. The big problem was that both steaks ordered were overcooked. I made it a point to order mine “seared”. I really enjoy a “very rare” steak. After our entrees were delivered, we didn’t see our server to have the steaks sent back. Our reservation was for 7pm and we didn’t receive it meals until about 8pm. At this point, we were hungry, so we ate the steaks rather than waiting longer for our server. He never came back to check if out meals were ok. A manager did check after awhile and we told her our issue. A restaurant that is known as a steakhouse shouldn’t overcook the steaks! A meal that I was really looking forward to ended up as disappointing. We finally left at 9pm. I like a leisurely meal, but two hours? Our server, Fernando, was friendly but scarce during our dining.

The Wedge salad- best in the restaurant business, hands down. The sea bass was also, simply fantastic. Even the bread was incredible. I’m so glad I had the chance to have dinner here while in town for work. The staff was very hospitable.

This was pretty much what you would expect for an upscale steakhouse. The food was tasty, on the pricey side (as expected). We went for our parents’ anniversary so they had menus printed out specifically for us which was cute. Service was a little slow, but they wanted you to enjoy all the courses offered. As far as “fancy” restaurants go, it’s not my favorite, not super memorable. Also, they charge you a fee to have your leftovers boxed to go, that was a first for me.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at an exceptional steak house, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. I ordered a medium-cooked steak with lobster, and it was cooked to perfection with a beautiful sear on the outside and tender, juicy meat inside. The lobster was fresh and succulent, complementing the steak perfectly.
To top it off, I had the lobster mac and cheese on the side, which was creamy, cheesy, and generously portioned. The side portions are quite large, making it perfect for sharing or enjoying a hearty meal. Overall, the quality of the food, the generous portions, and the impeccable service made for an outstanding dining experience. Highly recommend!

Happy birthday to me. Very nice restaurant one of my favorite chains. Food was on point my filet and scallops were succulent. Get it medium rare don’t destroy the protein. The lobster tails were amazing. Service was good. Guess when your firing for an 8 top with high quality ingredients you have to wait. Get the state Manhattan drink I definitely will be back.

Service was great. My wife had the chicken Christopher which was nicely cooked but cool to the touch like it had been either sitting somewhere waiting for awhile. I had the Bone-in-Ribeye which was Charred like someone lost control on the grill. Unhappy about that because the steak was quite nice once I cut all the char off the meat. Lost alot of the steak from cutting all the char off the top and bottom. Plus not sure if it’s a practice letting your food get cold before serving you. But I thought I was paying for a hot meal. Sides also Luke warm. I think for the money spent Morton’s need to offer a better service. Just feeling like I did not have a great food experience. Especially for the price.
