Morton's new menu items

Do good things happen in nines? Morton’s thinks so. Today the steakhouse announced nine new menu items that are destined to become bona fide favorites.

Two new filet entrees have been added (Morton’s is a steak house after all!), and for seafood lovers, the restaurant has added mini Crab Cake BLTs and Smoked Salmon Pizza to the Bar Bites menu, and a zesty Chilean Sea Bass to the entrée selection.

Yum, welcome to culinary cloud nine!

Oh, and did we mention dessert? Slip into the Legendary Sundae, with alternating layers of Morton’s Hot Chocolate Cake and Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream, topped with caramel and fresh whipped cream. Yes, you might want to consider eating dessert first.
