Morton's The Steakhouse - Desert Diamond — Restaurant in Four Corners States

While out and about we decided to make a stop at the casino for possible dinner and dessert after a less than stellar stop at another restaurant earlier in the day where we’d had appetizers. We had been talking about trying Morton’s for a while and decided on a whim we’d see about possibly getting in to the bar or possible table since we didn’t have a reservation. Our 21st wedding anniversary is soon so we decided to treat ourselves. Pleasant surprised we lucked out and were able to walk right up to the bar. We were greeted instantly and drink/food menus were given to us. We ordered a few drinks and were offered bread while we looked everything over. The bread was so good! With the accompanied whipped butter even better. The location is quite nice and you’d never guess you were in a casino. There’s an outside patio as well with misters if it’s like to dine outside. For me it didn’t look appealing because cars were constantly driving by and not the romantic vibe you’d like, but that’s my opinion of course. Inside seating is nice and good space between other tables. There was also live music where a woman was playing the piano and singing beautifully. We decided to both order the 8oz filets mine Oscar (with crab/asparagus) and his lobster tail. We shared the sour cream mashed potatoes. Things came out fairly quickly. Presentation was ok, but I think I expected more for the price. It was all very delicious however and my steak cooked exactly how I’d asked. The mashed potatoes were a bit cold, but still good. Our bartender was hot and miss. For the most part was great, but when we asked for another beer he just left the bottle. First time it came in a nice glass. Not a huge deal, but presentation matters when you’re spending more money. Another server came over and chatted with and checked on us. She was wonderful. All in all it was a good dinner and was nice to have some alone time and relax. Price can be steep depending on what you’re ordering, but if you’re coming here most are prepared for that. Besides the mashed potatoes being a bit cold the only other semi negative was there’s no bathroom onion the location. You have to walk out into the casino and use it there. Maybe that’s normal for casino dining, but I...

We have been going to Morton's (Scottsdale) for years. It is our favorite place to eat, so when they were opening up another location closer to our home, we were excited.

We made a reservation a head of time, we were quickly seated - but it lacked the Morton's welcome. We were sat at this very weird and overly large booth (we were a party of 2, this booth was easily for 6-8 people) the host stood and watched, while my husband pulled the tabled out, so we could be sit, and then pulled the table back in. Something, that we have never had to do before.

The server came over quickly enough and took our drink orders, however needed to be reminded to bring me my drink. My husband received his first drink, plus a water, prior to my drink being delivered. I will say, she kept the drinks flowing and the bartender had a heavy head.

Appetizers were ordered - it was a busy-ish Friday night, so while they took a little longer than our previous Morton Dinning experiences it wasn't so long that we were left wondering if the orders had been placed. However, during this time we did have to flag down the server to request bread be brought out - this is another thing that we have never had to do.

When the meals came out, our meal was set down, picked up, set down again, picked up again, walked away with and then brought back and the two food runners had a argument at our table about if they were delivering the food to the right table or not. Again, nothing super awful - just not the level of service you expect from an establishment such as Morton's.

When the meals came out, I ordered the King Crab, my legs were more cold than warm. My husbands steak, while cook well - had an awful mouth feel and he ended up not eating most of it. Both of these things were mentioned to the server, and her response lacked, it was a very that's the steak and those are served cold, response. She did offer us a discount coupon for appetizers at the bar if we decided to come back.

It wasn't awful, but it wasn't what we expect...

We just celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary here at the New Desert Diamond casino at white tanks. This was the best restaurant experience that we have ever had. They truly made it an experience. From the minute we checked in at the hostess stand, we were greeted with a happy anniversary. The hostess that walked us to our table was super friendly and conversational. When we arrived at our table it was covered in rose petals with a specially printed menu that said happy 29th anniversary. They even took and gave us a photo and rolled up the menu for us to take home. Our experience only went up from there. I am OBSESSED with our server Simone. She was the shit and hands down the best server we have ever had. Simone was on top of everything from the error in the appetizer that we weren’t even aware of to offering us fresh bread to take home. Our meal was absolutely delicious and we are still talking about the crab mash potatoes. We even got a free dessert. We had the best anniversary and Morton’s and Simone made it extra special. We will definitely be back!!!!!! Ask for Simone you will not be disappointed. The experience was so amazing I even talked to the manger and told her how amazing it was and she said she was also obsessed with Simone. The manager was also amazing. Love...
