Morton's Of Chicago Description:
Located near the Riverwalk. Upscale cigar bar and first class restaurant. Excellent Steak and Lobster selection. Prices on the higher side.
If you're in the mood to feel clubby and cosseted, Morton's will be happy to oblige. Private wine lockers reinforce its exclusive aspect---as do the country-club prices---and massive amounts of wood paneling only underscore an impression aided and abetted by an intimate bar. Though the menu is mostly immutable, it has been tweaked a trifle over the years, as if to remind us that even purveyors of Premium Porterhouse are subject to market pressures. Maine lobster cocktail and broiled sea scallops wrapped in bacon and served with apricot chutney are gently updated favorites, tuna tartare is a riff on the classic, and there's a Prime Ocean Platter. Most Prime designations are reserved for aged cuts of beef, however, and they awaken the primal carnivore in most of us whether the cut be a Double Porterhouse or a (comparatively) diminutive single-cut filet mignon. "Colossal" is a term reserved for shrimp, as in Colossal Shrimp Alexander; but it's also an appropriate adjective for sides such as asparagus spears. Big wines are available to match every meat and mood. And at evening's end, there's nothing more apt than a classic soufflé.
