When it’s time to commemorate an important milestone in the most elegant way possible, there’s simply no finer place to celebrate than at Morton’s The Steakhouse.

“Kamaaina who have never visited Morton’s before will feel welcomed by the restaurant’s commitment to excellence,” says concept executive chef Trevor E. White. “It is unwavering and showcased in each menu item through careful preparation and quality ingredients.”

With a well-deserved reputation for the very best USDA Prime-aged beef, hand-picked produce, truly exceptional chops, and the freshest fish and seafood, Morton’s has earned rave reviews from visitors and locals alike.

“Whether they’re gathering with friends, enjoying a business dinner or bringing the family together, Morton’s guests have come to expect remarkable service and reliable experiences that keep them coming back for more,” says White.

And the food, simply put, is consistently extraordinary. Spring Seasonal Selections from Morton’s reflect some of the restaurant’s most creative and exceptional offerings. The Strawberry, Arugula & Goat Cheese Salad ($16), though a light plate of the freshest ingredients, is deeply satisfying. For an impeccable wine pairing, Morton’s divisional vice president of wine and spirits Tylor Field III recommends the Vanderpump Rose from Cotes de Provence ($16 per glass).

The ultimate in self-indulgence, Nueske’s Bacon Steak ($24) is served with a lovely soy caramel sauce and for this, Field suggests a glass of The Pessimist ($15), a gorgeous blend of reds from DAOU Vineyards in Paso Robles.

Last but not least, the Seared Sea Scallops with Lobster & Caviar Butter ($45) is an unforgettable plate, colorful and bright — and pairs perfectly with a Rombauer Vineyards Chardonnay ($25 per glass).

From now until Aug. 15, Morton’s will offer a Summer Showcase menu, three lovely courses showcasing some of the season’s freshest ingredients and flavors, for just $49.

“Hamburg steaks” first appeared on the menus of New York City’s German restaurants in the 1870s. After a German restaurant served the beef patties at Philadelphia’s 1876 Centennial Exposition, hamburgers became an all-American favorite. Celebrate at Morton’s The Steakhouse through May 31 with the Gorgonzola-Bacon Burger ($25), made with the finest USDA Prime-aged beef, deliciously paired with a glass of “Earthquake” Zinfandel from Michael David Winery ($11).

Furthermore, make your reservations now for a Father’s Day Feast at Morton’s The Steakhouse.
