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

Valentine's date with my girlfiend. Arrived 15 min...

Valentine's date with my girlfiend. Arrived 15 min early for a 8pm reservation. Was giving the option to sit at the bar and wait which was very nice. Bar maid excellent. 10 min after 8 now being seated. This is when the atmosphere began to change. We where seated at a table that was very small. It made my girlfiend uncomfortable. I asked our server that was a very nice gentleman is there anyway that we could be seated at a different table. He said that he would say something to the manager. Appetizers where brought out and finished. The manager appears and ask how is everything. I reply that the table is very small for dinning. Meanwhile I'm observing booths that are unoccupied. I ask was there a way we could change seating, his response was that they are reserved. Ok. I also noticed that some tables where bigger seating 4 but only 2 are occupying these tables and some tables of this size are not being occupied. He ask to remove some appetizer plates and I agreed. He also with hesitation removed a steak knife. We are at a steak house. So the food comes out immediately after he leaves. Now my girlfriend is searching for a steak knife. Uncomfortable table no steak knife and a date with a bad atmosphere. Recommending this place would be shooting from my hip. First time at this restaurant and maybe. Maybe the last. Sorry not sorry.
