Eat Up Downtown: Night 4 @ Morton’s The Steakhouse

On our fifth evening eating our way up downtown, we were treated to our first proper steak dinner of the week: Morton’s style! From the cheery valet to our attentive waitress to the maitre d’, Morton’s made us feel at home in a cozy booth overlooking the dining room. We began with a warm onion loaf and the caesar salad, which was perfect - creamy, flavorful, not over- or under-dressed - and topped with thin waves of fresh parmesan cheese and crispy toast points. We ordered the center-cut filet cooked medium rare (it was perfect!) and one broiled salmon filet topped with a rich garlic buerre blanc sauce. Both entrees were served with a plentiful helping of garlic green beans and delicious mashed potatoes. We requested extra buerre blanc and drizzled it atop everything except the steak. Morton’s dessert offering for Eat Up Downtown was a glass of belgian chocolate mousse topped with whipped cream, a raspberry and sprig of mint. The perfect way to end the evening!
