Description
Morton's on the Wharf is an elegant yet informal restaurant where great attention has been paid to detail, ensuring that the menu, decor and ambiance are all typical of a fine French Quarter restaurant. The restaurant has been named after one of New Orleans' most colourful and controversial figures, Mr Jelly Roll Morton, the self proclaimed inventor of jazz. Pianist, bandleader, gambler, hustler and gourmet - his flamboyance epitomised the excitement and excesses of the Jazz Age. Morton's on the Wharf offers a panoramic view over a working harbour and is the perfect venue for a light luncheon, or an elegant dinner. Our staff are friendly, efficient and knowledgeable on the unusual and varied dishes on the menu. Our extensive wine list, including a Nederburg Auction selection, caters for a variety of tastes. Some of our specialities include Venison on a red wine and spicy beetroot sauce or lamb shank slow braised in red wine, herbs and tomato and accompanied by homemade peach chutney. Firm favourites include our Blackened steaks and Line Fish. In addition to these dishes, Morton's serves a variety of fresh seafood, poultry and delicious homemade desserts. We can cater for up to 240 diners inside, and weather permitting, 40 diners outside. Alternatively, exclusive use of the restaurant can be catered for up to 270 guests. Our fully licensed bar is the perfect venue to enjoy one of our famous strawberry daiquiris or to dine from our fabulous snack menu. The bar offers a vibrant and relaxed atmosphere and is a favorite haunt for light lunches, after work drinks or pre-movie meals. Our trading hours are daily 12h00 to 15h00 and 18h00 to 23h00 for the a la carte restaurant and 12h00 to 23h45 for the cocktail bar.
