Morton's the Steakhouse   

With a location in the heart of downtown, Morton's of Chicago has "steaked" its claim in Nashville. Specializing in classic hearty fare, serving generous portions of USDA prime aged beef, as well as fresh fish, veal and chicken entrees, Morton's has become famous for its animated signature tableside menu presentation. Steaks, whole Maine lobsters and other main course selections, along with fresh vegetables, are presented on a cart rolled to your table, where the server displays and describes each menu item in appetizing and entertaining detail. The menu, which is the same at all locations, features a variety of favorite cuts, including a 24-ounce porterhouse -- which is the house specialty -- a 20-ounce New York sirloin and a 14- ounce double cut filet. This location boasts a private boardroom, a bar with close to 200 wine selections, and a store selling knife sets, gift certificates and more. -- Sandra Schulman
