Morton's may not be as good as Ruth's Chris, or for that matter, Fleming's or Smith and Wollensky's, but it has an amazing Prime Rib on Thursdays, which can be ordered as part of their quite reasonable lunchtime prix fixe. The Lobster bisque must be tried to be believed, with the Key Lime pie not far behind.\r

Awful, phony-fakey petitte hostess, who looks about 16, is the only negative, as wait and support staff are exceedingly on the ball. Note, if you go for lunch, be prepared to dodge high-powered execs making multi-million dollar deals on their Blackberries all around. It's that kind of establishment. Dinner time is much more sedate.
