Morton's, The Steakhouse

SANTA ANA. Tuxedo-clad waiters set the tone for a Midwest classic that's staked a claim on the West coast. Known for tableside presentations (yes, that's a live lobster on the cart), this steakhouse is famous for its 24-ounce porterhouse and its hearty portions. Sides must be ordered separately at additional cost, and the menu offers seafood, chicken, and veal for those who don't relish red meat. Plus, wine suggestions are available to complement entrees. Expectedly, the atmosphere is plush and subdued.
