Where is the Best Steak in Orange County, California?
I thought the food was well prepared and well presented. The staff was a bit snooty, certainly not beach casual as is the location of the restaurant. Nor is their dress code. It might appeal to the Newport Beach crowd, but I prefer something a bit more approachable. If I want snooty, I’ll go to LA.
My experience with Gulliver’s was great. We walked in and they helped us even though we didnt have a reservation. The service was excellent and my Filet Mignon was perfect and the waiter paired a great pinot noir to go with my meal. My dates prime rib was perfect as well. Now, the bill wasnt no outback or black angus price, we spent about $120 for the two of us, but it was well worth it because we go back to the hotel and went to sleep, because we caught a case of the “itis” (lazy, unbluckle your pants and fall asleep cause you are so full and the food was so good) for those that dont know what “itis” is. :-)Pros + Great Service, Great Food, Great Wine SelectionCons – Small selection of sides with your meal
Synopsis of Recommendations:- Appetizer: Bacon-Wrapped Scallops, Excellent – Entree: Chicago Style Ribeye: Best Steak I’ve Ever Tasted – Get it cooked “Medium Rare Plus” – Dessert: Chocolate Souffle, The Perfect Meal Cap I arrived at Morton’s on a Saturday evening at 5:45, we were shown to our seat promptly and our waiter was to our table within seconds. The Atmosphere: Classy, but fun. They had varieties of Jazz and Big Band playing in the background, lots of dark wood and low lighting, but just enough noise to make it intimate yet bustling. The Food: They have some of the standard appetizers for a Steakhouse joint, you can look them up on their web site, we had the Scallops wrapped in Bacon with Apricot Chutney, which I would definitely recommend, the smoked, seafood, and sweet tastes
