Morty's Steakhouse
Submitted by: Todd on Oct 1st 2008
Went there a few weeks ago while visiting Montreal. The restaurant appeared to have opened recently as there was a banner covering the previous sign. Very good food and highly recommended. Having said that I hope there are a few kinks that get worked out. 1. We had made reservations. When we showed up they had seated a party of 9 who had reservations but for the next day. We were seated outside (no big deal). 2. When one of our party asked for a certain salad we were told they were out of Romaine lettuce! 3. When we asked for some red wine we were told they only had white as they'd run out of the red. I thought the latter two things might have gotten us an offer of complimentary soft drinks or dessert or coffee but none of that occurred. The waiter was pleasant enough but both he and the bus boy had too many tables. On the menu they list a filet mignon. As best I know this is a non-kosher steak (the eye of the t-bone). We shmoozed with the buthcher who supplies the meat for the restaurant (he couldn't get a table) and were told that while this is a fine cut of meat it's not filet mignon.
