we had reservations at morton’s steakhouse at the caribe hilton, but they have some type of festival going on, so they shut down a few roads. unfortunately for us, one of the few roads they shut down, we needed to take to get to morton’s. after 40 minutes of driving around in circles, letting party bus motorcades led by cops on bikes, and being stuck in traffic, i was able to find my way to the caribe hilton. we pulled up in the nick of time. i think it was 7:12pm when we walked in the restaurant. so a few weeks ago i did my ranking of best steak of all the steakhouses, and it’s changed. morton’s cooked my steak to perfection. i asked for medium/pink center to which my waiter responded that medium is a red center. he said after that it’s medium-well which has a pink strip in the middle. i didn’t want medium-well, so i went with medium. nervous at how it would turn out, turns out, it was probably the best piece of steak i’d ever had. because of such a fantastic experience, i’m for sure pulling up to the morton’s back home with high expectations.
i’m hoping they don’t disappoint me.
