I've been trying to get reservations for two years. Magically, availability came up on my open table ap. It was well worth the wait. All choices were first rate and the service was kind and welcoming. I hope we will find more reservations with them in the future.

The salads, steak, chicken and sides were all amazing! Service is top notch here. We brought our own bottle of wine and never had to pour a drop, the staff were very attentive and handled everything with professionalism and friendliness. From beginning to end, our experience at Morton’s was top tier and we will definitely be back.

We love Gertie's Happy Hour. The prices are wonderful, both for a long list of cocktails and beer, and for finger food, which is all utterly delicious. We've tried everything on the HH menu and love it all. Avocado fries are an unusual stand out, the sliders are amazing, their mac and cheese with lobster is awesome--all at prices you won't see anywhere else. Plus, several nights a week there is entertainment, with PS stars like Siobhan Velarde, Brian Scott and others. Great audiences, some dancing, your evening there couldn't be better. Plus they have a wonderful dinner menu as well. Just lovely.
