The fine dining restaurant at the renovated Rochester Hyatt Hotel will be a 7,500-square-foot Morton's The Steakhouse, according to the hotel's website.

The high-end steakhouse chain has 74 locations worldwide; the first was opened on Chicago's State Street in 1978. Morton's The Steakhouse has several other restaurants in New York state: Great Neck, White Plains, as well as in Midtown Manhattan and the World Trade Center in New York City. A Morton's opened in the Saratoga Casino Hotel in Saratoga Springs in 2016.

The Rochester location is currently advertising for management positions on Craigslist. The Buffalo News has reported that Morton's is looking to open in a Hyatt there as well.

The hotel at 125 East Main St., which was purchased by Morgan Management and Christa Construction in 2016, is in the midst of an estimated $18.5 million renovation. In addition to Morton's The Steakhouse, it will have a chic terrace and lounge and a full-service Starbucks Café with street access. All guest rooms and corridors are being gutted and redesigned, according to the Christa Construction website. The hotel is connected to the Riverside Convention Center.

Morton's The Steakhouse is owned by Landry's, a multinational restaurant, hospitality, gaming and entertainment conglomerate based in Houston, Texas.
