   The food was amazing and the service was impeccable. It is a little pricey, but a good value in DC where dining can be a very expensive venture. I didn’t feel it was overpriced. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection and the lobster bisque is unmatched in all my years of dining out. Their dress is business casual, but I did see a couple people in there wearing a T-shirt and cowboy boots. They have a cigar lounge out on their enclosed deck so sit as far away from that as possible.

   I'd not been to Morton's in a few years. It's always been good, but not special. This time it was special - perfectly cooked steaks, crisp tasty truffle fries, best lobster Mac n Cheese ever, great vegetable/potato sides, amazing bread pudding, elegantly prepared martini, freshly tasting lobster tail and salmon. Host, managers, and our server were very friendly and attentive. The ONLY issue I had, and I do not blame our server, Kittikhun, was it was obvious how he was really pushing some of the priciest dishes like the ocean seafood platter, tomahawk steaks, Australian wagyu, and also the Rewards program. It's his job to do that, so I do not blame him. And I understand the restaurant's desire to sell these items too - but maybe try to find a more subtle way to do so? But honestly, overall, we all enjoyed the food, atmosphere, service, drinks... I'll definitely go back again more often! Thank you!

   The bar smash sliders were overcooked and the chips while plentiful were flat.

   The restaurant was very cold and drafty. We moved to another table and it was still cold. The service was very slow. We asked for a wine list and it took 10 or 15 minutes to arrive. Also, the decor is looking a bit tired there was a black somewhat tattered curtain separating the restaurant into two spaces, which was rather un appealing. However, the food was very good! I will not be returning here for a business lunch for the reasons listed above.

   The service is good, but at times it can approach overbearing. In fairness, our group was larger than anticipated as many people showed up unexpectedly and Morton's was able to accommodate us. Thank you for that!

   The service was great from the person that was attending us. Unfortunately, the ribeye was overcooked. For a restaurant of these category and famous because of it was sad.

    Had a wonderful experience dining at Morton's The Steakhouse in downtown DC. The hospitality was exceptional—special thanks to Kimberly and Greg, who were incredibly attentive, warm, and professional throughout our meal. Although my steak was slightly overcooked, the overall dining atmosphere, attentive service, and delicious sides more than made up for it. Looking forward to visiting again!
