Morton's is always a good idea for a great fancy dinner. We ordered a bottle of red wine for the table and was very wowed by the flavor. If you're a fan of Merlot and blends, this one was delicious; Château Greysac. Our server dropped off the bread for the table and my coworkers' salad and soup came out. The Lobster Bisque bowl passed me and there were large pieces of lobster in the bowl. Then the severed placed his bowl down and then poured the bisque over the lobster. The smell and look of this dish had me salivating. I had to order my own. Once I got mine, the flavor was so creamy and the lobster was amazing. I ordered the petit filet and lobster for $69 and was really wowed by the flavor and size of this great meal for a great price. I know Morton's is a chain, but I really liked the presentation of the soup and the information the sommelier gave me. Great dinner spot!

This is a follow up to my last review on Morton's Steakhouse. I have always been willing to give a second chance to any restaurant that fell short of expectations. This one was especially important because the General Manager went out of his way to call me and talk about our experience in his restaurant. Greg is the definition of a leader. He took responsibility for the visit we had, invited us back to make sure we knew the last visit was a fluke and apologized for falling short the first time. This visit was way different. Our waitress Heather was AMAZING. She was attentive, she was outgoing and very nice. Our food was top notch. My New York Strip was the best steak I have ever eaten in my life ( I'm 59 so I have had a lot in my time). The steak was perfect in every way. My wife's filet was delicious as well. The topper of the night was Greg came over, introduced himself and made sure we had a great experience. The thing is, it wasn't just us. I spent 34 years in management so I observe and Greg was ALL over the place. Every table, every guest , making sure that each guest had a great experience. Thank you Heather for doing an amazing job, thank you Morton's staff for working hard to insure your guest had a great meal, and lastly thank you Greg for being a great leader and making sure your guest will return. Yes, Jennifer and I WILL be back. Lastly thank you for proving that despite our last visit falling short, everyone has a bad night and given the opportunity, proving that Morton's is worthy of being called an Amazing experience.

We have just moved out to Surprise a few months ago and are visiting the various venues and restuarants in the area. My wife threw me a surprise birthday party for about 20 people there. Morton's did not disappoint. We were on the patio with beautiful weather. Working with Kaylee, my wife picked about 15 items from the menu for apps and mains. Let me tell you, it was phenomenal! I could not try all of the apps, nor all of the mains but the guests were floored. We went back with just a party of three a few weeks later because it was so good. The staff remembered us and it was another wonderful experience. From the Filet to the Lobster Bisque to the Lobster Ravioli...I can't rave enough. I'm a cook and I can usually be on par with most restaurants. Not Morton's. They blew me away. One issue for me. Being in Surprise, I was glad to see this was more than a T-shirt and shorts place. They have a defined dress code on their website. They had a wedding proposal on the table next to us. Yet, there were people coming in with swim trunks, flip-flops and T-shirts. In Arizona, that's all OK. When looking for something a little more than that, you want Morton's. However, it was not enforced. I know it's hard to say "No", especially when you are in a Casino, but it was a bit disappointing. We'll never stop going back, and we now have some relatives from Colorado that are looking to Morton's as their next venue. Bravo, Morton's!

The most enjoyable place to share an anniversary celebration! Emma was our server, first class!!!! Food was fabulous, ambience spectacular!

Onion loaf and butter
Kemlyn B.

This 5 star is for their French Onion Soup and their hospitality. The broth is deep and subtle, not overly boozed up. The onions are caramelized and melt in your mouth. The crock and crouton is baked over with Gruyère!!!! Just look at the pic. The chopped salad was okay. The homemade dressings are stellar!!! The Ranch was 5 star material. The ribeye was delicious. They had a generous 16 oz cut that we split. Sides are purchased separately. We got the beautifully presented scalloped potatoes but compared to the French Onion Soup, it was leagues behind. I will be back for the wonderful Onion loaf with chilled butter and French Onion Soup ($13). I wonder if I brought my Desert Diamond Card, will there be a discount?

Morton's Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake (Sundae style)

Enjoyed a wonderful anniversary dinner at the Morton's located inside Desert Diamond Casino. Everyone from the hostess to the server (Melissa) made our night feel so special. We made a reservation ahead of time and the table was decorated with a welcome card and flower petals, it was so nice! The steak was cooked to perfection, I prefer medium rare and many places typically over do it. They have a great wine list to pair with dinner, it took me an extra minute to decide on which red to pick but the server was so patient. My fiancé couldn't stop raving about the dessert, Morton's Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake (Sundae style). They also gifted us a photo to remember the night by. This might have to be our new anniversary celebration spot from now on!

BURNT Filet Mignon & Lobster Tail
Alex C.

Decided to get "fancy" for our 6th anniversary & make some reservations at Morton's for Saturday 3/21. Everything seemed good going in. We arrived early & we were seated shortly after. As we got to the table the hostess removed an old table cloth that was on one of the chairs, seemed like an honest mistake, no biggie, but in hindsight it was Red Flag #1. Our waitress took awhile to get to us after that, which we could only have decided on a drink, because she had the food menus. Great, 10 minutes to decide on a drink. Bread was delivered. I actually have a picture time stamped at 7:20pm. Take note. BTW the bread tastes like a bagel, do with that what you will. We were going to order glasses of wine but decided to just stick with waters. (Should've ordered wine, maybe the food would've tasted better). We ordered oysters for an appetizer. Should've stopped there bc they were actually great. When we finally got around to ordering we chose a Caesar Salad, Au Gratin Potatoes, Brussels Sprouts, & we each chose the Filet Mignon with Lobster Tail. 3 sides to share & 2 entrees. We waited honestly a really long time for the food. We get it, it was a Saturday night but i swear we didn't see our waitress for like 30 minutes! Which she was definitely not the problem, it was just odd. We twiddled our thumbs to pass the time. We picked at the bread but didn't want to ruin our appetite, but man were we hungry! Caesar Salad came out with the oysters, that was also pretty decent, so we were inclined to think the food would be as well. Food arrives. Picture is time stamped at 8:37. We waited over an hour. Waitress now does come by & notices the Potatoes Au Grautin were missing. The girl had said they would be coming shortly. Waitress says "No they should've been out with your food". She comped those for us, thankfully. Surprisingly the potatoes were my favorite thing even though the cheese was overcooked on top. Lobster was dry & cold, i drowned it in butter and lemon. I had to saw it with a knife! My filet mignon was over cooked as well. We both asked for Medium, mine was definitely Well Done, whilst my husband's seemed to be actually be Medium. (See pictures. You can tell without even cutting into it how bad mine was) I did not complain at the time, I honestly felt bad for how busy they were & understand the wait staff really has no control over the kitchen. Brussels sprouts were definitely charred, i couldn't really tell how much at first, but the bacon pieces on the bottom of the dish were both inedible and unenjoyable. Once the potatoes arrived it was nice to have something hot to eat i actually burned my mouth when i tried them. Those were actually 8/10 had they not overdone it on the top cheese crust. For dessert, (yes we ordered dessert because we were celebrating!), we ordered the cheesecake. Our waitress kindly informed us while we were eating that the chocolate cake takes 30 minutes if we wanted to get the order in then. The cheesecake was another winner. The crumble on top was *chef's kiss*. So to conclude, overall it was not as lovely an experience as I expected. Food 3/10 Ambience 6/10 Service 5/10 Definitely never taking Texas Roadhouse for granted again! They have never failed me, I guess this is what we get for trying to get fancy. Also, I expected to be asked if we were celebrating anything.

Amaris, our waitress did an amazing job. Service was wonderful and the food was on target. One of the dishes was the 6oz. Wagyu beef that literally melted in our mouths. We got a wonderful live singer and rose petals in our table celebrating our Wedding Anniversary. A night to remember!

Parmesan Truffle fries
Darlene Y.

Visited the Desert Diamond Casino for my 50th birthday, and wanted when I saw there was a Mortons Steak house I went over to see if we could get in without a reservation. The ambiance is beautiful very classy and nice setting. We sat at the bar ordered a Lavander (pic in the shrimp cocktal) Cosmopolitan to start with. Amazing you should try one. Next we were brought some Onion bread and butter,fresh out of the oven and very tasty. We ordered a shrimp cocktail, the sauce had fresh horseradish in the cocktail sauce and was delicious. We decided to order the tomahawk steak and the parmesan truffle fries. The steak was medium like we ordered and cooked to perfection. This was the best steak I have had in a long time. Parmesan truffle fries did not disappoint and im not a huge truffle fan, but they changed my mind with these fries lastnight. You get what you pay for, there is a reason it costs more.... the quality! I will pay more everytime! We will definitely be back!

Gorgeous Bordeaux from the Saint Emillion region.

As steakhouses go, this is the best we've found in the west valley. Yea, you have Fleming's and now…read moreMorton's - and those are certainly excellent- but I put those in a different category really. A steak there is $80 and everything is a-la-carte and $30 more. So it's more of a special/high-end experience. Longhorn, by contrast, is a more "every day" family steakhouse experience. It's what a good old-fashioned steakhouse should be. If you want to go into a dark, wood-paneled, bar-like establishment with red vinyl booths and mob bosses meeting in back rooms, you're better off at something like Durant's. This is not that. What great steak! As I said, the best we've had in the west valley. Excellent cuts, top quality meats. Cooked perfectly and as asked for. Tender, flavorful steak and the best baby-back ribs Ive ever had. For once they're not drenched in sticky-sweet, cheap BBQ sauce and overcooked. Nope, these were moist and fork-tender. The burgers are fantastic and the ribeye is juicy and full of flavor. The sirloin is top notch and the "Flo's Special" filet mignon is just perfect. The sides here are particularly good. The broccoli is unusually good and cooked to perfection. The Mac and cheese is legendary. It's hearty and gooey and very cheesy. Excellent. The potatoes are standard but very tasty and come with all the fixings. For dessert, the strawberry shortcake is my favorite. It's delicate and not cloyingly sweet. It's a delicate, light, fresh-tasting and very moist cake. The perfect finish to an excellent meal. You can't go wrong here. It's always packed, so do the waitlist before you arrive. Really good.

She was so kind, super attentive, and made a point to make eye contact and engage with everyone at the table. It was my dad's birthday, and they brought out a birthday treat for him, which was such a nice, thoughtful touch. However, the check-in process was very uncomfortable. The host who greeted us didn't make eye contact with me at all, a person with a disability. Instead of speaking to me directly, he asked the person I was with if I needed a child's menu. As an adult, being talked about rather than talked to was rude and honestly pretty embarrassing. It would have been much more professional to provide standard menus for everyone or just ask me directly if I needed anything specific. The kitchen definitely knows what they are doing. Everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious: The bread and butter were warm and a great start. We had the bruschetta and a shrimp appetizer, both were hits. Our table ordered the cheeseburger and fries, the salmon, and two orders of the short ribs. Everyone loved their meal and had zero complaints about the food quality. The restaurant was packed and had a high-energy vibe, but the music was way too loud, it made it a bit hard to talk. The lighting was also a bit strange; it was very dark, and at several points, the lights would flicker or completely turn off and on again, which was a bit distracting. If you want to go on a Sunday evening like we did (6:00 PM), definitely plan ahead! We made our reservation a couple of days before, but by the time our day arrived, they were completely booked. I'd recommend making a reservation at least a week in advance to be safe. I would definitely come back for the food and the excellent waitstaff service, but I really hope management works with their hosting team on how to treat every guest with basic respect and direct communication.

On a side note, while I excused myself to one of the restrooms, Mary and Erin critiqued the interior as being void of any decorating, especially wall art, which as an artist bothered them a bit. It's a bit too far from our place in Goodyear to make it one of our regular spots, but interesting enough to possibly take visitors. Also once more of the shops open in Verrado, it might end up being more on our way.

One thing that bothers me most is when servers have zero personality and refuse to even hint at smiling. In Madisyns defense she did smile when dropping off the check. Will I return probably but I'll ask more questions about the food next time.
