Morton’s happy hour is for grown ups. I don’t mean legal drinking age adults,
but grown up men with careers. On
a rainy day (yes, people in Illinois go out in the rain), my neighborhood
buddy, Tamika, and I met up a Morton’s for their “Power Hour.” It didn’t take
long to notice that, aside from the hostess, we were the only women in the
joint. While it might appear that it may work in the favor of a single gal, it
was clear that the men folk were busy wheeling & dealing so we stuck to the
business of happy hour.
The drink prices run from $5.50 to $8. The Power Hour
Cosmopolitan ($8) was the drink of the night. I haven’t been too crazy about cosmos lately because no
matter where I go, the flavor balance seems to be off leaving my a drink a
little too tart. However, these
cosmos were to my liking because the drink was not tart at all and smooth
without being too sweet. I thought the price for a martini was a little much
for happy hour, but sometimes you have to pay more for good quality.
The food price & quality was to my liking as well. During Power Hour, there are a variety
of bar bites for $6 and $7. I miss the many choices of sushi restaurants in
LA. Since I have yet to try any
Chicago area sushi spots, I satisfied my craving with an order of the Ahi Tuna
Tacos. For $6, the plate comes with 3 tacos and avocado, pico de gallo, & a
slaw concoction made with seaweed.
Tamika ordered the Chicken Goujonettes ($6), which translates to fancy chicken
strips with a mustard mayo sauce. The dishes were delicious but did not fill us
up so after eyeballing our neighbor’s plate, we decided to split the Petite Filet
Mignon Sandwiches since we were at a steak house after all. For $7, we received
a plate of 4 petite sandwiches that did the job to fill us up.
I would definitely return to Morton’s Power Hour. However, I may save it
for business drinks.
