Morton’s Shutters Steakhouse

10 TV: Morton's closed its downtown steakhouse on Wednesday… The company's Web site no longer listed a Columbus location and a manager at the restaurant confirmed the closure…

The restaurant had been in a fierce competition with other local steakhouses, including those from local restaurateur Cameron Mitchell, Hyde Park and national chains Ruth's Chris and Smith and Wollensky. Morton's was affected by the recession and was closing underperforming restaurants. This year, it closed four other locations, including in Charlotte, N.C.; Southfield, Mich.; Westchester, Ill.; and Minneapolis.
