Morton's the Steakhouse, Naperville IL - February 11

Rating -5.64

Expensive, EXPENSIVE, Expensive, and not worth it.....over priced.....even though the service and food was excellent.

It was time to celebrate 15 years of a life sentence (anniversary on 2/11) and we decided to stay out West instead of going into the city.....which we probably should have done.

The place has the strangest entrance I have been in....beautiful on the outside you open the door and go into a really small/ugly space, then you open another door and head into the bar/reception area. This was a Thursday night around 7:30 pm and I had not made a reservation, but the place was probably 60% full. Hostess was incredibly nice and seated us at a booth along the back (it was by the windows and pretty cold).

The place looks like a traditional Morton's, and would fit well in the city. I think its WAY over the top for Naperville, trying to be something that it is not in a suburban setting.......

Our server, Kailey, was EXCELLENT, and the service throughout the night was perfect. We had heard they had a priced fixed menu, and although it was not initially offered to us, when we asked it was offered. It is a salad, app, dessert, and entree (reduced size) for $49.99.

Hot Mamma started with a campaign (16.95) and I had a Chimay - but had not idea it was $24, I did like the iced wine bucket they brought over to keep it cold!

I didn't want a salad or app, just a steak and the price of that by itself was 49.99. The steak is HUGE but not great, and I probably only ate 1/2 of it...but $49 for a steak???? Hot Mamma had the sea scallops (great) and the fillet (ok). They made a big deal that it was our anniversary, free desert and even came over and took a picture and put it in a (paper) frame for us at no additional charge.

The service was GREAT, the food was wonderful, but I still think its overpriced. Its more than I have paid for some unbelievable dinners in the city and through out the country......maybe priced right for a city center, but not Western suburbs.

First and last time here.
