    Delicious as always. We dine at Morton's at least once a month and always love it. My wife's salmon was a bit salty for her taste but I loved my steak.

    We've celebrated at the San Francisco Urban Putt before and this was our first time in San Jose. Have to say it was absoultely fantastic. Celebrated my wife's birthday with a group of 9 folks. The staff really made everything so easy and wonderful for us. We had a great time putting 9 holes and then had dinner. Pizza, loaded tater tots, smashburger, crispy chicken, gem salads... we're all very tasty. Will do this again!
