Fodor's Expert Review Morton's

Near the Alamo, the River Walk, and the Menger Hotel, this branch of the Morton's steakhouse chain is appropriately elegant and contemporary. Fabulous steaks, the selection and size of which are truly impressive, range from double-cut fillets to porterhouse to Cajun rib eye, and are matched with exquisite wines and service. Non-red-meat options include Ōra King salmon and cold-water lobster tail. Signature sides are lobster mac 'n' cheese, smoked gouda and bacon au gratin potatoes, and Maine lobster ravioli. Desserts are equally luscious: New York cheesecake, crème brûlée, and Morton's Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake. Reservations are not required but recommended.
