Not Restaurant Week Visit
January 22, 2011
The first thing on our minds when we heard it was Restaurant Week again was to hit up Morton’s in Georgetown again. We have a very good friend that works there and the food/service there is always exemplary. Their deal last year was a salad, filet, side, and dessert. You can’t beat that at Morton’s for $35, you just can’t. So we made our way down to Georgetown on a Wednesday evening for a nice dinner with a couple of close friends that are gearing up to get hitched.
D and I arrived way the hell too early, as usual, where we promptly learned from our good friend that the restaurant wasn’t doing Restaurant Week. Do the who what? Yeah, I had mistakenly seen the three VA Morton’s listed, but not actually the Georgetown location. *headdesk* Fortunately, they were still serving up an excellent deal for $110/couple: Salad, Filet, Seafood Choice, Side, Dessert. Again, hard to beat and more food.
After a couple of drinks at the bar to catch up with our friends we finally settled into our table. The most amazing part of this: We got to our table on time. As in, our friends arrived EARLY. It was absolutely unthinkable to tell you the truth. E must have told B the dinner was at 6:30 and not 7:30 (LOVE YOU, B!). The food, as usual, was excellent. It’s fairly difficult not to fill yourself up on the onion bread they serve, but resistance is required when you have so much food on the way. Everything we had that evening was delicious and the souffle to end things off was amazing.
I’m not a huge fan of giving huge props to chains, even the high-class ones, but this Morton’s is always spot on for us. I’m sure we’ll be back again…but not during Restaurant Week. 
Our final destination on this week of food? An excellent idea with poor execution.
