Some people automatically give a red for restaurants such as Morton's or Ruth's Chris because of the prices that are much higher than those found at Outback, Longhorn, and the like. Personally, for a special occasion, I enjoy Morton's and Ruth's Chris.
I would consider giving red only because the meal is not much of a value. They give you A LOT of food. Unfortunately, the steak they give you is rather small. Don't get me wrong, you're stuffed with all the stuff they give you but its just too bad that you're really there for their steak and the give you a small piece.
Their bread is awesome though. Steak is pretty good (I still like Ruth's Chris better).
But if you never had Morton's before, its a good meal to bring a date on or something.

Just my 2-cents.
Every time the wife and I go on one of these specials they let me substitute a ribeye for the filet for the same price. Their Cajun dry rub ribeye is to die for!!! BTW, the ribeye is much bigger and way more filling than the filet. Imho.

The current deal also differs from the "original" $99 for 2 deal in that you now only get one salad rather than two. My location is no longer offering dessert. The current deal is not good enough for me to consider doing it again.
It is still an okay deal for Morton's; but adding an extra salad and just one dessert for the table is going to add $20 to the tab (no one says you have to add either, just making a point).

Went to the same special on Mother's day last year. It was disappointing because the steaks were so small. They called it 6 ounce, but it looked more like 3-4 ounces. I have been to steak houses of all kinds including Chop House, Ruth's Chris, Capital Grill, AJ Maxwell's, Lawry's, Smith and Wollensky, Shula's, Outback, Joe's, Gibson's, and Roadhouse (before they closed shop).
These were the smallest steaks that I have ever seen at any price range. For $50 per person, you are better off ordering a normal priced steak from the Morton's menu.
I can't believe anyone would compare Outback to Morton's or Ruth Chris. You might as well say you can get 100 Big mac's for that price, Outback is horrible.
$109 at LA area restaurants.
