Morton's Sky Bar Taipei

Amazing view, relaxed ambience, very good steak and sides. Expensive wine.

Server Jay was great and the food was pretty good. Had a splendid birthday dinner with my family, got free cake and a photo! The manager was able to suit everyone’s needs which needed a little accommodation. So overall was a good experience, would go again.

I’ve dined in and ordered takeout from this Morton’s location 30+ times since it opened. It’s consistently really good. Balcony This is absolutely one of the best features of this location, when the management decides to open it. Over the years it has become less and less often that they will open the balcony for service, which is almost criminal in light of the unrivaled experience anywhere in Taiwan that enjoying a cocktail there provides. Steak Mortons is a steakhouse. That’s why you should come - to enjoy their steak. Their side dishes and burgers are also quite good, and my dining companions have never had a complaint about the seafood there. It is the best steak available in Taiwan, of the many fine dining restaurants where I’ve tried filet mignon. 20+ very well cooked filets at this location, and 1/20+ that was not a great cut of meat. Cocktails & Bar The cocktails are good enough not to get in the way. There are cocktail bars that do a better pour. The bar seating is not bad, but it’s a little bit inconvenient to get up to the 45th floor in that building just to go for a couple of cocktails. Service The service is usually pretty good, prompt. Maybe two or three times out of 30+ the staffing has been a bit shorthanded, and our server was a little harder to flag down then you’d expect at $100-$150 per person. Atmosphere It’s on the 45th floor and has floor to ceiling glass windows, the views are a major major aspect of the experience. The views from the balcony are unparalleled, but like I said above, it’s a little difficult to get that experience. The only things that bring down the atmosphere are occasionally one or two tables of patrons - sometimes there are selfie monsters who seem to come more for a 90 minute photo shoot performed mostly in silence, than for the experience of dining and savoring a great meal with good conversation. And a couple of times there have been young kids let loose to run around unsupervised, which is totally fine if you’re at Haidilao or Texas Roadhouse or someplace where the noises of kids having fun add to the experience, rather than detracts. Takeout I love that they offer takeout. For me it’s a tossup between Morten’s and Smith & Wollensky on filet for takeout.
