Morton's The Steakhouse continues to be one of Uptown Charlotte's classic dining destinations, and after a recent client dinner, I can see why it's remained a fixture for so many years. From the moment you arrive, the valet service makes the experience easy and seamless. Inside, the restaurant feels elegant and sophisticated, with a stunning two-story dining room, mezzanine level, soaring ceilings, and a warm, clubby atmosphere that strikes the perfect balance between business dinner and special occasion. We started with cocktails--I've recently switched from my usual Sidecar to a Paper Plane--and an impressive seafood tower loaded with oysters, lobster, and shrimp. It was beautifully presented and a fantastic way to begin the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the bone-in ribeye, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The table shared several classic steakhouse sides, including truffle creamed corn, au gratin potatoes, asparagus, and Morton's famous onion bread. Every dish delivered. Service throughout the evening was polished, attentive, and professional without ever feeling intrusive. Dessert was another highlight. The banana flan special with caramelized bananas was absolutely worth saving room for. What I appreciated most about Morton's is that it feels timeless. The atmosphere encourages you to slow down, enjoy great food, and have a memorable evening. While my all-time favorite remains Balthazar in Manhattan for its French bistro charm, Morton's delivers a different kind of experience--classic American steakhouse luxury done exceptionally well. I'm already planning a return visit to take advantage of their four-course prix fixe offering and enjoy a quieter dinner where I can fully savor the experience. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte. Get out there and eat your way through the city. Happy eating. read more

Went with a friend one evening and sat at the bar. Parking in the lot was validated. The original staff seemed a little occupied but we had someone who was attentive and got what we needed. Ordered a mocktail and chicken sliders with fries. My friend got the taco and lettuce wedge. We were brought bread right before our food. Enjoyed the chicken and fries. The fries were enough for a full table of people. We both enjoyed our meals. The service was mixed. Some staff was really attentive and others seemed preoccupied. They were all friendly overall. This was my first time at this location. I will probably return again to try other menu items. read more

I went last night for the Burgers & Bubbles promotion. We had reservations and were seated at the bar. Unfortunately, they were already out of the meal boxes and champagne, which was extremely disappointing considering the promotion had only started a week ago. Ambiance was formal and dimly lit for the evening. The bartender recommended a Belvedere martini, which I honestly did not enjoy--it was extremely sour and not something I would recommend. I ordered the burger sliders, and my friend ordered the chicken sliders. I enjoyed the burger slider; it was tasty and topped with cheese, grilled onions, sauce, and a pickle under the patty. However, I was not a fan of the fried chicken slider. Service was hit or miss. The bartender was friendly but clearly overwhelmed with drink orders, and our needs were occasionally neglected. The manager came over to the bar several times but never acknowledged us or offered assistance, which was disappointing. For my entrée, I ordered the glazed salmon. While it was cooked to my liking, the flavor was bland and unimpressive. My friend ordered the lobster ravioli and absolutely loved it. After waiting nearly 20 minutes to close my tab, I left feeling underwhelmed by the promotion, food, and service. I've had wonderful experiences here in the past, but my visit on 1/12 fell short. I'd still encourage others to give them a try and hope your experience is better than mine. read more

I visited Morton's for the first time in many years on a cold weekday evening with a friend. We were there for "Bubbles and Bites" witch was a fun bar special that included sliders, truffle fries, and a glass of Champagne or a Martini. You couldn't beat the deal and it was evident that this was a popular choice. We sat at the bar and were served very promptly. The bartenders were both attentive and very friendly. The ambiance in the bar area is cozy a chic, perfect for girls night, a casual date, or a solo meal. Even when it was full, it never felt crowded. The food was delicious and I highly recommend a visit for happy hour. read more

The Morton experience was very classy. I attempted a birthday celebration on the second floor and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. The decor along with the birthday decor was just enough. The food and cocktails were awesome! The lambchops, steak and sausage all melted in your mouth. I can taste them all as I write this review. Very well seasoned. I was also greatful to get my parking ticket validated at the end. read more

Always Superlative Service with Salim at the bar at Morton's ! Been a member longer than I can remember, but although Mortans is great... it's even greater due to the high level of service by Salim and other staff members who perpetuate the business to the highest standards with excellent service and being so accommodating. Thanks for everything you do to make my evenings worthy of the night. E Hunter read more

Came in today and did not have a welcoming experience. We are Landry members and was planning to have dinner at the bar. However we were met with "the bar is at full capacity" "we are not seating anyone else"(said by Zoey). When asked if we could just wait until something opened up that was met with hesitation. Even though at this time there were 2 bar tables available, 1 table getting ready to leave and 2 bar stools. While waiting we overheard the bartender come over who also made not great comments about us waiting. We ended up leaving and not sure if we will return in the future. read more

Jason was amazing. Best service we have ever received anywhere. Knowledgeable, kind and WANTED to give us a memorable experience. We have corporate events there because of Jason. He is true and honest hospitality. If you want the best go to Morton's uptown and ask for Jason! read more

I want to start off by saying this was a to go order so I know that can affect food and isn't necessarily the restaurants fault if things aren't the same as they would have been if I dined in. I also want to say that 3 stars doesn't mean this was a bad experience, it just means it was okay. My boyfriend and I ordered some food to go and we kept it pretty simple. I ordered their burger and fries, along with the bacon wrapped scallops, cream corn and Szechuan green beans. Everything was just okay. The burger was huge and looked a little fake. It wasn't very flavorful at all, just kind of tasted like meat. Even with the lettuce and other toppings. I ate most of it but towards the end I just didn't want it anymore. The fries were fine, the corn was good. The green beans were nothing to write home about to be Szechuan. There was really no flavor to them. The scallops were cold and the box has loads of juice in it, so they were kind of swimming. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience just not great. Like I said maybe next time we dine in and order different things. read more

I actually loved everything here except the parking (haha) but I guess that's just downtown. The service was exceptional. The food was tasty. The restaurant decor and vibe was quiet and sophisticated. It was the perfect spot to go to for my mom's birthday! I had the lamb, my mom had some sort of steak dish and my dad had the salmon dish. We were all very happy with our meals. However, it's the service that's really memorable. Loved that several of the staff and managers checked on us frequently. Our water cup was barely empty. They gave my mom a complementary cake and sang a happy birthday song which was so sweet. read more

We went for a last minute date night. They had a great promo going on with the Memorial Day sale - I got the filet - ordered it Med rare - it was so poorly cooked - at first cut I said it would be fine and just dealt with my decision to not refire it. We had already waited a very long time for our entree. The server blamed it on a 15 top. The bummer was lack of customer service given the circumstances. Overall if we're gonna spend 270 on a date night... I expect better all around service and accommodations when things are not up to standard. read more

Service and ambiance were nice but our desserts were disappointing. I cannot recommend the chocolate lava cake. All lava, no cake. read more

Went to Mortons for my mother's birthday dinner. Kudos to the staff! They simply get it! When you visit fine dining establishments like this, expectations are high. The staff exceeded our expectations! Our server Jacobi did a superb job ensuring everything went perfect. My only suggestion would be to watch steak temperatures as my mom and I steaks were cooked past the requested temperature but overall still very good. read more

This place was nice and the staff were excellent but the food was trash. I went there with a friend right after work. Parking wasn't bad at that time (5pm) and the place had just opened so wasn't crowded. Ok, let's begin.. I ordered a medium NY strip and potatoes au gratin. I kid you not, the steak wasn't medium or even medium rare. it was a strong rare steak and the middle of the steak was cold. It was terrible but it was still better than my boy's food. They didn't even bring his out, LOL. He ordered a Salmon well done. Of course his salmon was super duper raw. Made me feel a little better about my steak. Last but not least, how can you mess up an au gratin - put mayonnaise in it :(. Yup! I kid you not. I really don't understand how a Morton's can be this bad. It was truly the worst meal I've ever had since that time in 98 when I had a hot dog from Roy Rodgers on the New Jersey turnpike. Will I go back? I am NEVER EVER EVER going back to Morton's. read more

We had Thanksgiving dinner and it was one of the best we've had. Every year we make a reservation at a restaurant because we are not big on turkey & etc. Our server was AMAZING.. her name escapes me! She was attentive, thoughtful, friendly, polite! Top notch service. The food was delicious..everything great! We also ordered dessert to go key-lime pie and hot chocolate lava cake with ice cream. We didn't get pictures of everything! It was all good!!! read more

Devante was my waiter for restaurant week. I always walk by when I take my cardio walks. I've never been inclined to go in as it seems like a regular steakhouse with no particular personality. I still feel that same way. When you walk in, it's pretty dark and the A/C isn't at a suitable temperature, at least for the day I dined. I dined alone, as I do frequently. My FAVORITE part was the lobster bisque. Oh. My. Gosh. So so good. Get this and dip your table French onion bread with this. I will be retuning for lunch very soon if that is available for the lunch hour. I got the filet mignon with green beans. The green beans seemed very under whelming. But the experience was just so grand for me. It's a prime location, I was seated in the second level, and the wine selection is VERY extensive. I wish I could provide some personal insight to the general manager here. This place can be doing much better against the competition down the street. But I essentially gave 4 stars because I would like to come back to see how the lunch hour is. Especially since it's being promoted on the outside corridor. Devante took very good care of me, my steak was cooked to perfection, and I love the old school jazz element. Although, I think there's some more that can be done to keep up with the modern expectation in the restaurant industry read more

We chose this location for a fine experience, celebrating a college graduation. It was simply passable. The waitress did a great job attending to us and explaining the menu. The dishes did not create the spark we were looking for. I ordered a medium rare cajun ribeye. It was medium well, just a piece of meat on a plate, no aesthetic pleasure for this $67 dish. The same level of execution was noticeable throughout other dishes, nothing to be excited about. No one walked away feeling impressed, all was just "ok." Maybe that's all we should have expected. Steakhouses that portray themselves as high-end need to create a better dining experience for the price they charge ($180 per person in this case). The ambiance is convivial. read more

From the very moment we walked through the doors at Morton's, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The greeter, Lucy, set the tone right away--warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. That kind of first impression is what makes fine dining feel truly special. Manager David made sure everything flowed smoothly throughout the evening, embodying exactly what you expect from a fine dining establishment: professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care for the guest experience not to mention food that is to die for. Our server, Chris, was absolutely on point--knowledgeable, attentive without being intrusive, and always one step ahead of what we needed. From start to finish, the service was seamless and elevated the entire dining experience. When you go to Morton's, you expect fine dining and fine service and that's exactly what we received. A memorable night made even better by a team who clearly takes pride in what they do! read more

We had a party of approximately 20 people. I am a vegetarian and was happy to find there is a vegetarian menu when asked. Everyone enjoyed the service, atmosphere, and food. From entering the establishment to the last bite of desert, I have no complaints. I would recommend stopping by, reservations are recommended, and enjoy this establishment. read more

Always delicious and wonderful. Jacobi is fantastic!! A must when in Uptown Charlotte.

The food was great! I ordered an 8oz filet with Szechuan green beans, caesar salad, & a glass of Riesling. The filet was cooked to perfection! The waitress encouraged me to try some sort of Hennessy sauce, which I was extremely skeptical to try, but so glad I did! The crème brûlée was amazing also! I will definitely return. read more

Dined at Morton's for an anniversary dinner, and everything was above and beyond... on the front end. Our table was ready, the menu read "happy anniversary", the staff greeted us by name, etc. I was really pleased to start out with the professionalism and atmosphere, especially around the holidays. Unfortunately, as the meal went on, the worse it got. It was minor at first, like the bread coming to the table after our drinks arrived and our apps were put in. But it felt as if our server was ignoring our table, or was way too busy to properly give each table the attention a white-tablecloth place like this deserves. It appeared multiple tables around us were also trying to get the servers attention. After a flag down, we finally got our food in. The food was half good and half bad. The wedge Cobb and French onion soup were both enjoyable. The filet I got, and my boyfriend's pork chop... were not. One was still mooing and the other was hard as a rock :( thankfully the staff fixed the steak but for the price of this menu, you wouldn't expect multiple issues to arise during the dinner. Timing of the food was inconsistent but communication was maintained by the manager for the items that were late, which I appreciated. read more

Hey family! It's been a little while but I wanted to share my experience at Morton's this past Saturday night. I mentioned to a friend that it was restaurant week in Charlotte and I allowed them to pick a place. I've heard mixed reviews about Morton's where it seems that when it's good, it's really good and when it's bad, it's really bad. I did do a little research and I was cool with the restaurant week menu. I did peruse the main menu but it really wasn't anything that jumped out at me that I wanted to try. I've been to upscale steakhouses and I was curious to see how it compared to them. It's located in Uptown Charlotte and I would suggest to make things easier, definitely use the valet parking. It was only $11. And aside from going during the week as Uptown can get busy, I also suggest a reservation. Upon walking in I noticed that it was really warm in the inside. And I was thinking, maybe because we were by the door. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. The AC had went out earlier that day . I had to deduct a star because it was uncomfortably warm and I wish there was a sign on the door or an acknowledgment of the lack of AC upon arrival. Had I'd know, I would have went somewhere else but I made the most of it. We were promptly seated and given menus and water. One thing I absolutely loved was the fact that the service was friendly and efficient. Bless the staff for getting through the night because they were wearing all black. The inside is nice and it has kind of an old school feel but a little dated. Our reservation was at 8:15 and luckily by the time we were seated, some tables were clearing out and it made it a little tolerable. It's business casual but I saw a mix of different styles. Most people had business casual but I also saw people in regular t shirt and jeans. Don't feel too much pressure to dress up too much even though, it feels that you should. Our server was Anita and she was magnificent. My friend and I had looked up the menu prior, so we already knew what we wanted. The only thing not pictured was that I did get was a glass of rose' which was really good. They have a very extensive wine list but I was disappointed that it wasn't very many selections by the glass. They are catering to you to buy the bottle. I've been to many wineries and I know how much wine should cost. The overhead is really up there. It's ranging from $65-$150 or more. I'm not mad at it but I kind of am. But this place is used a lot for dates and celebrations so if you're in the mood to splurge, I understand. They do have a small selection of cocktails which from the description sound great. If I ever come again, I might just sit at the bar instead. Even though it's a steakhouse, to me the star of the show was the pork chop that came with apricot chutney. It was delicious and cooked perfectly. My friend ordered that along with the sour cream mashed potatoes. Definitely a perfect pairing. I ordered the center cut filet medium and was slightly disappointed. I thought that it was over cooked to well done but towards the middle and end there was a little pink. It was still tender but I think was truly saved it was the add on of truffle butter. The creamed spinach was just ok, it could use a little more seasoning. But the desserts were a hit for me. I had the key lime pie and it was truly key lime pie. I hadn't had one that tasted so good since Ganache (if you live in Greensboro, you remember that place). I tried my friend's crème brûlée and was also taken aback. I've had many versions of this dessert and by far this was one of the best. And the salad was just a salad and nothing to write home about. It was good but I like my salads to be served on a cold plate and I'm not sure if they serve them that way but it would have been nice. Would I come back? Maybe. And it's not because of the AC issue. It was a cool place and definitely feels catered to an older adult crowd which is nice but something feels dated. I would definitely like to sit at the bar and see how I would feel versus the main dining area. I would be interested to try the cocktails and order the pork chop. The steak was just average. Just to be fair, I might give it one more try. read more

I have read the reviews over the years and always wondered whether to give Morton's a chance to prove the critics wrong. Well, yesterday my family decided to take me to Morton's for Father's Day and almost immediately I could tell that the poor reviews were true. The restuarant was half empty and people did not seem to be enjoying themselves or the meals. There were no smiling faces and the vibe was blah. The decor is nice but the backgroud music selection is meh because there was no consistency with the genres. They played everything and it doesn't work. Our misadventure started when we were seated and given our water; the waiter didn't give us our menus and it took almost ten minutes before we received them. This was a huge red flag and I was ready to leave but my wife and daughter had planned everything out so I continued to stay. When our waiter did come back, I really couldn't understand what he was saying because his elocution and volume were lacking. We placed our orders, my daughter got the Christopher Chicken, my wife got the Lobster Ravioli and I went with the 12 ounce Filet Mignon. We received the food in a timely manner but the waiter forgot one of the sides. The food itself was bland, warm to the touch and presentation was mediocre and this was consistent with all three dishes. The waiter never came back to check on us during our entire dinner, we had to let him know that we were ready for the check. I was ready to leave and know that I would not be back again because the reviews on bad customer service and food quality are correct. I would not recommend Morton's Steakhouse to anyone that is looking for an upscale restuarant with high quality food and service. This was a huge disappointment mostly for my wife and daughter who wanted to bring me here. read more

Felt very safe dining here during COVID. Masks are required upon entering. All staff wear masks and when our server served our food she wore gloves as well. Available tables are appropriately distanced. We sat upstairs and had the entire upstairs to ourselves. Lauren was our server and she was phenomenal! So friendly, professional and attentive. We can attribute enjoying our meal to her as well as the meal itself. We went to dinner with a couple who was also celebrating their wedding anniversary. She offered to take our pictures. Everything is al carte and big enough to share. The bone in ribeye was HUGE and so well seasoned, juicy and flavorful. We also enjoyed the sea bass, and lobster tail. I probably wouldn't get the sea bass again but it was good. The sauce was delicious. We really loved the lobster Mac and cheese, corn, and AU gratin potatoes. Didn't care for the Brussels sprouts, they were hard. For dessert we had the chocolate cake and creme brûlée. My friend said the creme brûlée was AMAZING! First time dining out during COVID. Good pick. We got a room at the Marriott to continue our celebration. It was very nice to just walk across the street. Great location if you're staying there. read more
