Morton's, The Steakhouse

Morton's, The Steakhouse in San Jose is best understood through the basics: a classic American steakhouse, a business-casual dress code, dinner hours, a price of $140 per person. For diners who want a steakhouse meal built around signature cuts, a classic appetizer, a rich side, dessert, it is a direct choice. For anyone seeking a more experimental dining experience, the available facts point instead to a traditional steakhouse.

The price point makes the most sense when the occasion benefits from a business-casual dinner. This is an evening-service restaurant throughout the week: Monday through Thursday from 5–9 PM, Friday and Saturday from 4–10 PM, Sunday from 4–9 PM. Plan around dinner rather than lunch, since lunch hours are not part of the schedule.

Plan around a classic steakhouse dinner

If you are choosing the restaurant, the better-grounded way to think about the visit is as a classic American steakhouse dinner rather than a separate bar-focused experience.

The clearest ordering signals are the signature dishes: Cajun Ribeye, Prime Bone-In Ribeye, Center-Cut Filet Mignon, Lobster Macaroni & Cheese, Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, Morton’s Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake. Those dishes are the safest anchors for a first visit or a planned steakhouse dinner.

Order like a steakhouse regular, not like someone trying everything

Use the signature list to keep the meal focused. Start with a classic opener such as Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail if that fits the table, choose a primary steak such as the Cajun Ribeye, Prime Bone-In Ribeye, or Center-Cut Filet Mignon, add Lobster Macaroni & Cheese if you want a richer side, finish with Morton’s Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake if dessert is part of the plan.

At $140 per person, the restaurant should be approached as an occasion steakhouse rather than a casual value meal. The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2026 is a recognition for the restaurant, so diners have a grounded accolade to consider without needing to assume details beyond the award itself.
