Morton’s
of Chicago has been on my celebration dinner list since ages ago because of the
numerous good reviews and their famous personalized anniversary/birthday menus.
Should be a romantic dating spot but I was there for their latest seasonal menu
with a bunch of friends and I don’t see why not.
I
had mixed feelings, both excited and a bit anxious, about this dinner as it was
my first ever Morton’s experience. Couldn’t help taking photos of their
simplistic entrance with black and white tiles on the floor.
The
décor inside is simply classy and elegant. With the iconic harbour view and
their dim lights, it’s not difficult to understand why it’s a popular
restaurant for celebrations.
Have heard so much good about their onion bread and man this is really delicious. Served fresh off the oven, it was sweet and fluffy. Even better when eaten with the wonderful butter. We finished the whole thing in 10 minutes despite the massive size.
Hearts
of palm salad was another great and healthy appetizer that’s full of veggies
and fruits. Hearts of palm was a bit sour and the texture was very close to
that of bamboo shoots. All the ingredients were also thoroughly mixed and coated
with their tangy and creamy dressing.
US
Tomahawk 32 oz made everyone go wow when it was served. It’s just GIGANTIC and
very photogenic (size-wise)! Perfectly cooked to medium rare, the steak was
juicy, tender and smoky. No way it was enough to share among 6 person and
luckily we got 2!
Renowned for their steak around the globe, Morton’s handles seafood well too. Whole baked Maine lobster 2lb were just equally delicious. These babies were loaded with roe, sweet and slightly briny. So yummy that no one even bothered to chat while eating.
Of
course we could not forget the sides, other stars that make Morton’s shine.
Parmesan
& truffle matchstick fries was the BOMB! Every single piece was full of
cheese and truffle flavour while being extremely crispy.
The
sauteed button mushrooms themselves were huge and buttery but more seasoning
was needed. Creamed
spinach was as fatty and sinful as it looked. A must-order side to go with your
steak.
After devouring all the savoury dishes, we
went all-in and ordered 3 desserts so that we could have a try of all the
restaurant’s signatures. And come on, there’s always another stomach for
dessert right? ;)
You
gotta be quick when having soufflé, especially when you are having one of this
size. We quickly snapped a few shots
and before digging in. It was light and pillowy but a tad too bitter.
Probably it’s the Grand Marnier and desserts are seldom too sweet for me.
I
would have expected the centre of Morton’s Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake to ooze
like most lava chocolate cakes out there but it didn’t. Well the centre was
gooey and the cake was very chocolatey. Not a big surprise but still palatable.
Homemade
New York style cheesecake was fluffy and airy. Textures and flavours of that brûlée
layer and cream cheese went so well that it easily became my favourite dessert
among the three.
