UMy wife and I took advantage of the Restaurant Week Prix Fixe diinners. I had the Morton's salad which was a little disappointing (basically a Ceasars salad with both iceberg and romaine). My wife had the onion soup which she said was good but extremely hot since it had just come from the broiler..
We both had the 6oz Filet which were flavorful and tender. We had one side each which we split between us: cream spinach and mashed potatoes. They were both good and very large.
I had the creme brulee for dessert which was light and creamy. My wife had the chocolate molten cake which is a few dollars extra. It comes with a scoop of ice cream and caramel on the side. She said it was very good but very rich.
Due to social distancing many tables were not in use. The staff were very attentive and friendly.
We went on a Tuesday evening so there was only one chef. Try to get a table with a view of the kitchen. Watching the chef in action doing everything at once was something else. Our waitress said he has worked there 17 years and it shows.
