The onion bread (China Daily/ Fan Zhen )

But the thought of the appetizer, a baked ocean platter, kept us in high spirits.

It was a wondrous platter, worthy of Neptune's best. Oysters Rockefeller, crab cakes, breaded shrimps, scallops wrapped in bacon were all fighting for attention. The crab cakes score an undisputed victory, as they have from Singapore to Shanghai. They were more crab than cake.

The oysters were fresh and succulent but what held it all together was the creamed spinach and cheese topping.

But the surprising star was the apricot relish that came with the scallops. Black peppercorns gave the sweet apricots a spicy kick and it was absolutely delicious. Morton's may be a steakhouse, but it is this seafood platter that steals the show.

Lobster bisque and Caesar salad preceded the steaks and their side dishes. Our carnivorous choices were filet mignon and T-bone, both medium-rare, thoughtfully served on warmed plates.
