Review of Morton's The Steakhouse, Phila...

Went here for date night on a Saturday, thank God ...

Went here for date night on a Saturday, thank God we made a reservation because the place was packed. The noise level was through the roof and things went downhill from there. We were packed in like sardines.
I ordered the wedge for a starter, I have had better at less expensive places, the blue cheese was just blah and scant bacon.
It took 20 minutes for a water refill.
I ordered a filet mignon, medium well, I know sacrilegious, but I like my beef cooked. It came out rare and charred on top. I was surprised-this is a steakhouse, they should know how to cook a steak. I sent it back, and it came back rare again now burnt on top, even the waiter was surprised. I told them to forget it, I didnt want to see the piece of leather they would bring back trying to cook this poor piece of meat. I usually give the kitchen two tries to make it right then I move on. So only sides for me.
My husband enjoyed his steak, but thought that it was a little fatty. When he got the bill, he realized it was because he was given a bone in ribeye, not the bone in NY strip he had ordered.
Back to my sides. The brussel sprouts were overcooked (boiled and not grilled, roasted or sauteed, btw) and the potatoes burnt, so definitely not a good dinner. Just OK is not OK especially at these prices.
I am a glutton for punishment so I ordered the molten cake, they left out half the chocolate, it was the slowest moving lava possible.
I would not be back, I've been to the Philadelphia location with much better results.
