Morton's The Steakhouse - Portland Portland

Morton's The Steakhouse is on SW Clay Street, a ten-minute walk from Pioneer Courthouse Square and Director Park. It holds a Wine Spectator Excellence Award, a distinction that defines the cellar here more than the standard grills and seafood found on the menu.

While the room runs smart and elegant, the restaurant relies on tradition rather than the frequent rotation of experimental bistros common in the city. It is dressier than the neighboring shops and cafes, and because it sits a fifteen-minute walk from the crowds at Powell’s City of Books, it avoids the frantic energy of the downtown core. The formal service makes it a better choice for a serious business dinner than the city’s more casual, counter-service haunts.
