"Great place to host a retirement party. We had a private room for 28 people and were seated at 3:30p and wrapped up by 6:30p. Loved the service and all the courses from appetizers to dessert. The filet mignon with green beans and whipped potatoes was yummy Definitely would recommend this place for special occasions."

"My wife and I went there on our 6 month wedding anniversary and the person who took my reservation asked if we were celebrating anything. I told her it's our 6 months anniversary not thinking much about. When we got there our table had a card congratulating us and rose pearls and awesome candle set up for us. My wife was so surprised by this and it made for an amazing experience to remember. The food was so amazing she had the ribeye that's was marbled excellently and cooked to perfection! I got the pork chop because I saw it on another table and so glad I did! I was leary of ordering pork chop at a steakhouse but it was amazing! We both shared each other's proteins and both so impressed! The waitress was so personable and another server took a picture for us and printed it off and wrote message about our celebration in the card it came in. It was our first time at Mortons and I will definitely be going back for sure it!"

"My wife and I had a wonderful dinner at Morton’s Steakhouse in the Desert Diamond Casino in Waddell, AZ! It all began with a friendly greeting from the two hosts and since we had a reservation we were seated in a beautiful booth surrounded by a luxurious and sophisticated dining area. Our server was Brandi and was outstanding, professional, friendly, had a great sense of humor, and took great care of us. We enjoyed the French onion soup and the lobster bisque. Both were top notch, simply delicious. We both ordered the 16 oz Cajun ribeye steak and it melted in your mouth and it was cooked to our doneness. We ordered the sour cream mash potatoes and the Brussel sprouts for sides and they too were excellent. My wife and I do not drink alcohol so I enjoyed a diet Coke with 3 amazing cherries added and Brandi suggested she can make any flavor of lemonade for my wife and it was so good with dinner. For dessert, we had their seasonal Carrot Cake. OMG, it was a religious experience. I am hoping they decide to keep this on the menu year round. We do recommend it. We will be back and you can see the pictures we took to show the delicious food and amazing dining experience. Ask for Brandi when you make a reservation! Thank you Morton’s for a wonderful meal!"

"We had our work Christmas party at Morton’s The Steakhouse, and it was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. The entire staff went above and beyond to make the evening seamless, welcoming, and memorable. The service was attentive, professional, and perfectly timed, allowing our group to relax and enjoy the celebration. A special shoutout to Kayleigh, who organized everything down to the T. From the beautifully arranged place settings to the outstanding food selections, every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed. Kayleigh kept us consistently updated on where we stood with our bill and the spending goal we needed to meet, which made planning stress-free and transparent. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was perfect for a holiday celebration, and the level of care we received made our event feel truly special. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to host our Christmas party. Highly recommend Morton’s for any corporate or special event—you’ll be in excellent hands."

"I think there is a lot of good to say about Morton’s. The food was pretty good, very typical steakhouse vibes. We attended Thanksgiving Day this year and while it was busy there were plenty of open seats. We waited 10 minutes to be greeted by our waitress Natasha, who was a pleasure by the way. She was very attentive and got everything correct the first time. Drinks were very good. Over all the Starters were a little underwhelming. The scallop dish only came with 3 small scallops, and the meatballs were rather average for being wagyu. Main course and the sides were the highlight of the dinner, all the main courses were spot on and the sides were also very tasty. Do yourself a favor and get the matchstick fries they are very good. My wife got the Thanksgiving meal and she was very happy with it. I think a better selection of starters, maybe a beef carpaccio or tartar and a calamari option? Just a little more attention to detail and I would give this a 5 star. Keep in mind there are restrooms in the restaurant itself you will have to use the casino’s."

"Amazing experience! We celebrated our anniversary and were welcomed with rose petals and a personal message at our table, such a thoughtful touch. The atmosphere was exquisite, and both the filet mignon and lobster were absolutely delicious. The lobster mac and cheese and Brussels sprouts were good, though not my top favorites. The wine selection was fantastic, and the service was phenomenal! We were even surprised with a personal printed photo to remember the night. Our waitress was excellent, knowledgeable, warm, and provided wonderful menu recommendations. A perfect 10/10 experience!"
