The arrival of Morton’s The Steakhouse in Bonifacio Global City marks a milestone for Manila’s dining scene. Known internationally for its classic American steakhouse experience, Morton’s is now open at the ground floor of Uptown East Gate in BGC—bringing with it the brand’s signature flair for USDA Prime cuts, old-school charm, and refined hospitality.

Morton’s has long been a fixture in major cities like New York, Singapore, and Hong Kong. What sets it apart is its commitment to doing steak the traditional way: high-quality ingredients, time-tested technique, and generous portions meant to be savored slowly. The Manila location stays true to that formula, while embracing a touch of local warmth and energy.

Step inside and you’re greeted by a setting that’s polished but never cold. Think dark wood finishes, crisp white linens, leather banquettes, and a soft, flattering glow from overhead lighting. Whether you’re here for a business dinner, a special occasion, or simply a serious craving for steak, the space feels intentionally designed for both comfort and elegance.

On the menu, the spotlight is—unsurprisingly—on the beef. Morton’s serves USDA Prime-grade meat, aged and prepared to enhance natural flavor. Diners can choose from a variety of cuts including the tender Center-Cut Filet Mignon, the 16-ounce New York Strip, or the show-stopping 36-ounce Tomahawk Ribeye, which is perfect for sharing. Each steak is seasoned simply, broiled at high heat, and served sizzling on a hot plate to preserve every bite’s juiciness.

No steakhouse experience is complete without the sides, and Morton’s leans into the classics. The Sautéed Spinach is buttery, perfectly wilted, and a great counterpoint to all that rich, charred beef. Meanwhile, the Loaded Baked Potato delivers exactly what the name promises—fluffy on the inside, crisp on the outside, and generously topped with cheese, sour cream, and bacon. They’re familiar, comforting, and just right alongside a perfectly cooked steak.

And while steak is the star, seafood lovers won’t feel left out. Morton’s offers a refined selection that holds its own, starting with the Lobster Ravioli—rich, buttery, and delicately balanced, it’s a dish that feels indulgent but never heavy. For those who like to start strong, the Chilled Ocean Platter is a visual and flavorful treat. Served over crushed ice, it layers premium seafood in a way that’s both elegant and refreshing—perfect for sharing or savoring solo before the main event.

There’s also flexibility in the dining experience. Whether you’re in for a power lunch, a date night, or a private dinner with friends or colleagues, the space accommodates with ease. There are private rooms for more intimate celebrations and a main dining floor that feels open yet cozy—perfect for a long, lingering meal without the noise of a typical hotspot.
