A couple of years ago, I won a $125.00 gift certificate for Mortons of Chicago steak house; I thought I would have to go to Chicago to redeem it, but, after looking it up on the internet, I found that they are scattered all over the world. The closest one was in Nashville, TN. I didn't want to go, but the wife did, so we went (guess who the boss is?). Approximately 120 miles.
I thought the $125.00 would be way too much for a meal for two people - WRONG!! Everything was ala carte. We each had a salad, steak, baked potatoe, vegetable, split a dessert, and drank black coffee. The bill was $160.00, plus the tip for the waiter and the valet parking guy.
I have to admit, the meal and the service was good, but I've had better for a much smaller price.
I would like to add - driving in downtown Nashville was horrible for me. I found the restaurant OK, but getting back out of town, they had the streets I needed blocked off for a game of some kind at the stadium. After circling around for half an hour, I stopped beside a police car near the barricade. He gave me instructions on how to find I-24. I thanked him and took off. 10 minutes later, after following his directions (exactly, I thought), I ended up beside the same police car. The policeman took pity on the small town hick and led me to my entrance ramp. Many thanks to him and his partner.
This is one famous restaurant I will not visit again. Thanks for reading my long winded tale.
Have a nice day.
