Went Here for a Surprise Date

by outandaboutinjax

My husband took me here on a surprise date and we had a great time! Like some of the other reviewers, I found it to be a little pricey, but I still loved it. The food, atmosphere and service were great. It was a very interesting evening... my husband pretended it was our anniversary. When the waiter gave us a presentation about the different cuts of meat, etc, it included a live lobster on a plate! I wrote all about the evening in my blog www.outandaboutinjax.blogspot. com

Check it out! I post a weekly listing of Jacksonville events and I write all about the events I attend. See you there....

Mediocre Steaks for Grandiose Prices.

by nybapfood

Morton's is not a premiere steakhouse. Perhaps, in Jacksonville, FL people see it as a place where the "elite" may eat, but those who know better, know that the best steaks are not in Jacksonville. The service is okay, actually worse than other Morton's, even on a not-so-busy night. The steaks were cooked to the right degree, and the sides were mediocre. While, I am not complaining that the price of a steak is expensive, I am complaining that the value of these steaks are not the price that has been set. I've been to many steakhouses around the world, and Morton's is definitely "just alright". A good mix-up from the other restaurants in Jacksonville that I have eaten in. As a New Yorker, its funny to read other people's reviews for such a mediocre place. In New York the Morton's is a good chain steak restaurant, and nothing more. In Jacksonville, it is one of the most popular and well-acclaimed restaurants.

• Pros: Steaks, sides, nice ambience for a special occasion, prompt service, consistently good bread
• Cons: over-priced, dark romantic ambience not good for meeting a client

Frankly...

I tire of the wrong consumer reviewing the wrong calibre restaurant. If you do not understand a Paulliac from a St. Estephe, the do not complain about the price of wine. If you do not understand dry versus wet aged steak, then your rights to judge beef are removed: you have come to the wrong place. Either come here and open your mind to be educated in absolute quality, or chose your patronage based on your own joys in dining. Do not limit those who wish to recognize the chef's palate by your own ego, but rather taste the canvas and learn.

• Pros: Sheer quality, Consistancy
• Cons: Originality
