The restaurant, to be located at 888 W. Big Beaver Rd., will have a different feel from the standard, more subdued décor featured in other Morton's throughout the country. Designed by Aumiller Youngquist, PC of Chicago, the restaurant, scheduled for opening in March, 2006, will have more of an open atmosphere, complete with a more spacious lounge, complete with hanging light fixtures as opposed to recessed illumination.

In the dining area, the carpeting will change to leaf green from dark blue, and the room will have exposed light fixtures, with colored paint replacing the typical white. R.D. Olson in Irvine, CA, which has built six other steakhouses for the Morton's Restaurant Group throughout the US and Canada is the general contractor for the project.
