Best Steakhouses in Norco

Had a bit of an issue at my birthday dinner while at Morton’s in Santa Ana tonight. Two problem steaks. My filet was ordered medium-rare plus, but came rare with a cool center, and my friend’s New York was full of gristle, and even hard to cut, let alone chew. Adding to the problem, we ordered asparagus, and received scalloped potatoes instead. We had ordered a baked potato to share, so getting more potatoes in lieu of the much wanted asparagus, was redundant. The mistake regarding the asparagus was rectified, but the asparagus came after we were almost done eating, as did a replacement New York steak. (It too, had a bit of gristle, but was put in a to-go box, since we needed to leave for the theatre.) One more issue…the crust on the key lime pie was soggy. Oh, well… Management was accommodating and did comp the problematic New York steak, but the bill showed a charge for the scalloped potatoes. Really? Of course the charge was removed when we brought this to the attention of our waiter. Service was outstanding, but there were definitely kitchen issues. The restaurant was just starting to get busy, but certainly wasn’t crowded. We arrived at 4:45pm. I love Morton’s, but I might book at nearby Maestros next steak night out.

Besides waiting almost an hour to be seated even with a reservation, out dining experience here was amazing. All thanks to our server Jessica. This is our first time here and she offered some great recommendations especially the dessert! She was truly amazing and if you’re lucky to have her as your server, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Jessica! Also the food was amazing and I recommend getting The Belle drink. (Thanks Jessica!)

My husband, daughter and I had Christmas dinner at Mastro's. It was so crowded, I would have totally understood if the service or food was lacking... but to my surprise, everything was perfect! Service was amazing, food was just as wonderful as always. The restaurant was lively and festive. Once again, dining here was a great experience. Definitely pricey, but worth it for a special occasion!!

This was my first time dining at this location, and I’m so glad it was open on Christmas Day. My family will make it an annual tradition to gather at Morton’s on Christmas Day. The food and ambiance were delightful.

We were seated right away and our server was very friendly and attentive to us. The meal was delicious and we enjoyed the evening.
