Morton's of Chicago

 A couple of weeks ago, I had to pleasure of receiving a $100 gift
 certificate to Morton's of Chicago.  I had heard it was an expensive
 steak house, and that it was supposed to be quite good, so my husband
 and I tried it out on Saturday night.

 Very disappointing.  We were seated at an awful table. At one point the
 waitress stopped and said, "I'm taking a poll.  What do you think of
 this table?"  I had the feeling that they had jammed this table in as an
 experiment - one that failed miserably.

 The acoustics were terrible.  Everyone sits in one large, noisy room.
 We had to shout to be heard.

 My husband had the porterhouse steak--their specialty.  Although there
 was nothing wrong with it, I hardly thought it was worth $29.95.  In
 addition, my lobster was merely listed as "market price."  I should have
 asked, but I didn't - unfortunately, it turned out to be $54.50.  Yikes.
  And everything is ala carte.

 Aside from the outrageous prices, the food was good - nothing
 imaginative, but good nonetheless.

 Finally, the service was not at all impressive.  We were supposed to
 have had 2 waitresses - neither one paid any attention to us, except to
 drop off food.  Once we got our coffee, they disappeared completely.  I
 finally flagged someone down for a second cup.

 To summarize, I was very glad that we only paid for part of our meal,
 and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
