Morton's The Steakhouse Hackensack

We were at first unsure where the front desk was so we stood there squinting in the dark trying to figure out how to be seated. Eventually we found the desk walking straight down, on the left side. We were then shown to our table. Our server was fantastic. I don't remember her name but she had reddish hair, I believe. I felt really special on my birthday. The lobster ravioli was tasty and the porterhouse was cooked perfectly. They took a photo of us and gave us the print at the end with my customized menu with my name printed on the top! The lava cake took 20 minutes to come out but our server did warn us how long it would take. At first I was confused when she asked if we wanted dessert right when our main and appetizer arrived. I realized when my lava cake arrived why it took so long. It must be made fresh. It was so decadent and chocolately. The vanilla ice cream was the perfect pairing. Our server said it was on the house because it was my birthday! I would recommend this restaurant for a date or any special occasion.

I wanted to love this place, I truly did. The service was mediocre. Granted my waitress was sweet, certain things occurred that was disappointing. Missed Utensils for the meal as a knife was removed from the table but was only returned after request. I also ordered bacon wrapped scallops add on to my steak but that was not brought when entree arrived. Next she had asked if I wanted the "famous" lava cake at the start of dinner since it took 40 min to prep. I agreed but when it was time for dessert she brings the menu and no mention of the cake.When I asked she says it will be another 40 min but what happened when YOU asked me 40+ min ago would I want the cake. But what took the cake is someone offered to wrap my food, I was already apprehensive to allow as I know errors can happen. I had taken the remaining meat off the bone and set it to the side but I wanted to take the bone home to my pup. Well that was my mistake since I mentioned this to the individual it must have confused them and they discarded the meat and only gave me the bone 😳. If there was a misunderstanding why wouldn't you wrap both and then ask me if I wanted the meat. They threw away a good chunk of my steak without an after thought. So manage my disappoint when I realized this AFTER I was home putting away my food. I specifically choose this place so this was a huge disappointment after. The food was delicious and drinks delightful but I highly recommend another location as small oversights are hard to miss when you're spending over $300 for a meal for 2.

The food and drinks were all so good. I loved the atmosphere, it was very chill. We sat across from a large room they have for parties and you can come right in through the mall into the restaurant.

This past Saturday, my wife and I wanted to have dinner before we heading to see the film Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. So we opted to eat at Morton's at Riverside in Hackensack. We called Morton's on our way there to see if a reservation was needed for only the two of us, and after speaking with Don over the phone he explained to us that normally we would need a reservation but at the moment they didn't have any available tables and if we wanted a table our wait time would be at least 3 hours, he also further explained that we can sit by the bar on a "first come first serve" basis, which we opted for the latter. Upon arrival we were greeted by Don, a presentable, nice young man. The place was packed and lively, we were in luck that no sooner we arrived and a couple of bar stools opened up. We sat down, we met two fine bartenders: Georgie & Alex. Both were friendly, courteous and skilled at their craft. For drinks I got me a cocktail called "Island Bessie", my wife doesn't care for alcoholic beverages so she kept her glass of water. I asked Georgie for a couple of cherries for my drink and she obliged, they use real, dark cherries, not the fake maraschino's in a jar. For appetizers we ordered: Grilled Oysters & French Onion soup. My wife's favorite appetizer dish is the French Onion soup and she said that this is the BEST she's ever had, I had a taste and she was absolutely right. The Grilled Oysters were out of this world, bursting with an intense flavor. For entree I opted for the Miso Sea Bass with Bokchoy, she on the other hand wanted meat and got Grilled Prime Pork Chops. Our sides were Spinach with Mushrooms and Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes. We both thought that this is what eating dinner in heaven must be like. What an exquisite & tender Sea Bass, the miso sauce gave it a flavorful touch. The Grilled Chops were so tender, juicy and delectable, the sides were superb! Morton's is an expensive, classy restaurant, but oh its worth it! The service provided by Georgie and Alex was magnificent, they are both phenomenal people. My wife and I agreed that we must return again, well, as soon as I save some money for this luxury. *Edit* Visited Morton's for Valentine's 2022 and it was a magnificent experience yet again. This time we were seated by a friendly young man Marquis we were served by the exemplary and outstanding Justice and Frankie, they were on point and attentive. Kudos to Morton's and its fantastic staff! 👏

Food was okay, French Onion soup was very good. Our waiter was very nice. We complained about the spinach, it was salty, they took it out of the bill. Free dessert for my birthday 🎉 Cheesecake was good not to sweet.

First I want to say that Don the manager took or reservation Omar McNeal, with great care and grace of a Chicago Manger. Such style and accommodation with serving the wine. Now Justice was very attentive and professional. She deserves a raise how she stayed on time of her game. We will definitely recommend this to our friends for a experience they will long remember after the event has passed. Thank you for the experience and memories.

One of my first fine dinning experience was at Morton's! The food was delicious. I have ordered the ribeye steak, the chicken Christopher, the troy, scallops, and a vegetarian dish! The ambiance is amazing and never disappoints !

Despite being a chain, this is an awesome steakhouse. The meat is always cooked to the perfect temperature, as requested, and the quality is amazing. The creamed spinach and lava cake have kept me coming back for over a decade.

Great food. Great service. Not cheap but ... The only pet peev is that, if I'm paying $60+ for a steak I shouldn't need to pay $10+ each for two sides!
