Downtown Brooklyn Now Has a Morton's To Call Its Own

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.
Much needed jobs for people who don’t care if the chain is Brooklyn based or not. Much needed restaurant for this area of town. Even with the economy, this will probably be one of their highest grossing locations. A win-win for all concerned.
I’m glad someone stepped up and tried to open a high-ish end place in the area. Too bad a brooklyn-based company didn’t have the stomach or the vision. But, Marriott and Morton’s — I salute you.
This will be hugely successful….As almost all national chains find (Target, Marriott, Lowes, Home Depot, Costco, Applebees, Ikea, etc….) Brooklyn is a vastly underserved market.
Despite the economy, a city of 2.5M can easily support 2 “authentic” steakhouses. Sure alot of people will be unemployed but there is still going to be lawyers, wiseguys, lottery winners, politicians, actors, athletes and plenty of others who want to go out for a Steak and cant get into Lugars and prefer to not go into Manhattan.
Based on the provided pictures, bar looks ok, dining room looks like an office building. Willl head over to check it out at some point though
well that’s what happens when brooklyn is filled to the brim with people from illinois. duh what do you expect!?

Agreed! It’s a sad day when NY is importing brands from Chicago. Even sadder when it’s happening in Brooklyn!
Grand Opening!
Grand Closing!

The What (But.. but..but Real Estate goes up.. Right???)
Someday (soon) this war is gonna end…
On the one hand I am thrilled a great new steakhouse is here, but on the other hand – I wish it was something more local rather than a Chicago-based chain.
Why couldn’t some ex-Luger employee start something along the lines of Wolfgang’s.
Any truffles???
