Morton's

So lots of happy hours have cheap food and drinks, but not all have amazing quality...Morton's has both!  First of all, it is Morton's so the service level is higher than normal and the bartenders get to know who you are and your likes in hopes that if you come back in the future they can impress you with this skill.  Better than anything...the food and matched with the pricing...this may take over from Pier W as the best happy hour.  Although I guess i could say Morton's has the best Happy Hour in Cleveland and Pier W the best in Lakewood.

So...what wonderful delectable bites did we try that just set me over the edge?  Well there were three of us for dinner/happy hour and so we ordered aq variety of items.  We started with the wedge salad bits.  It is just that, a wedge salad in a few bites on a plate.  Each bite has crispy bacon, fresh tomatoes and fragrant blue cheese.  This cost for this happiness $6.  Next we ordered the mini cheeseburgers (2), crab cakes, and trio of filet.  Each of these items is $7.  This emans the total cost of our happy hour full dinner was less than $10 a person for crab, fliet, burgers, and salad.  For the cost, the quality was just amazing.

Crab cakes- these are not some little item of breading and egg with some shreds of crab.  No these are crab pieces with just enough breading to hold them together.  Mini cheeseburgers- each one comes on a delicious bun with tomato and onion and cheddar cheese.  There is no need to use ketchup, mustard or mayo on these burgers.  All that would do is cover up the taste of the meat that just melts in your mouth.  Lastly, the filet trio.  Each piece of filet comes on top of a small crostini.  One has bernaise, one a wine sauce, the last a horseradish sauce.  Each one...amazing and fork cutting goodness.  We were able to split each piece into three and have a decent size portion. 

During Happy Hour they also have martini's and specialty drinks for $8 a person and wines for $7.  On this night I was blessed to be with a friend who has a wine locker and her wine selction was amazing!

Morton's officially has my top spot for happy hour.  Where shall I try next to try and drop it out of contention?  The fugally classy look at cost and quality not just cost. 

Toddles until I find my next fun place to dine!
