Last night, Mayor Bloomberg and Borough President Markowitz cheered the opening of the new Morton’s Steakhouse at 339 Adams Street in Downtown Brooklyn. The 150-seat restaurant is the 80th Morton’s—and the borough’s first. (The downstairs “boardroom” can seat an additional 125 people.) Given the economic environment, much is being made of the 120-employee restaurant. “The arrival of Morton’s The Steakhouse in Downtown Brooklyn is further evidence of the growth and vitality of the entire area,” said the Mayor in a press release. “I say ‘bravo!’ to this global company for having a ‘steak’ in Brooklyn’s economic—and gastonomic—future,” said the Brooklyn Beep. Last night’s festivities were a closed affair. Tonight is the first time the restaurant will be open to the public; lunch will be available starting Monday.
Marty only stumps for bad food. Next he’ll be bringing Olive Garden to Smith Street.
De Stefano’s????? Possible Luger’s/Morton’s alternative??
i am very excited and already have a reservation!
Good deal….I will be sampling the wares.
I’m very excited to have a decent steakhouse so close to my ‘hood. Sounds like a lot of employees to take on these days but I wish them much success!
I wonder if you know how your post comes across “The Who”
You literally sound like the most horrendous person to be around. Might want to think about that. Is that really what you want your life to be about…negativity and asinine scare tactics? It’s INCREDIBLY pathetic.
Here are some recent awards Morton’s has received nationally. Seems like a really good quality chain to me.

Luckily restaurants are about choice, no one forcing my veg daughter to eat there. This choice needed for business folks, as Downtown Bk short of options in that department. Chain a must for staying power reasons, specially now. And 60% of hires i was told last night at the ‘opening’ are BK residents, which is great. Retail means jobs. And opening Horizons program, education program for disadvantaged kids run by Bk Friends school. These kinds of tenants give back.
Yet another nasty unappetizing restaurant in Brooklyn. A steak house ….ugggh. How will you know if you eating rat meat or minced pigeons. Have fun guys, I’ll pass on this one.
