Food Review: Morton's Steakhouse, Scottsdale, AZ

Food Review:  Morton’s Steakhouse – Scottsdale, AZ

Well , it finally happened, I had hands down the best 24 oz. Chicago Style bone in rib eye of my life! See picture attached.  The picture does not give it justice, this steak was absolutely ridiculous.

I had never been to a Morton’s restaurant before, and this was a real treat.  A very creamy and not too thick lobster bisque started the meal (see picture) paired with a stiff Manhattan with Makers Mark topped with marachino cherries.   The bisque did not fill you up, which was a good thing... because more times than not a bisque is to heavy or over does the brandy on top.  Morton’s did not and I was eating the broth up as fast I could like finishing up the milk in a bowl of Cheerios, deeelisshh!

Now, the steak – BRUTAL!!, the Chicago Style bone in rib eye 24 oz. came out with a nice crispy charred crust and bringing a smoky aroma of holy shit this going to be good!  As I graciously cut into it, I was rewarded to a picture perfect medium rare inside, warm, buttery, satisfying and it tasted delicious.  Side dishes were lionase potatos with grilled onions, roasted brussel sprouts and earthy green creamed spinach with plum mushrooms bursting with flavor, just like you were eating from the garden, outstanding! 

I inhaled the bisque, the steak, apps.. I ate the whole damn thing feeling overly full but well worth the little discomfort which eventually subsided.. because of…

The Hot Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream Dessert! (see picture).  This is a dessert that has to be ordered in advance because the chocolate melts inside the cake and keeps it warm, so when you cut into the crispy crust, out she comes.. plus with the vanilla ice cream, it gives it a sensational finish.

A very big thank you goes out to Dr. MJ for inviting me with him and his associate, Dr. G., excellent evening out from our technology work weekend in Scottsdale!

If you have a chance to eat at a Morton’s, EAT AT MORTON’S!
