    Morton’s Steakhouse in Atlantic City was an amazing experience. My wife and I went there to celebrate our anniversary and we were blown away by both the service and the food. We both really enjoy fine dining, especially at top of the line steakhouses and we both felt this was probably one of the best experiences we had. Our server Michael was excellent, their Cajun ribeye was so flavorful and so tender and my wife’s filet mignon was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back.
