                             BFMA FILES FIGHT LETTER
                     IN SUPPORT OF ITS OFFER TO BUY MORTON'S
                    AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROXY CONTEST

         Pompano Beach, Florida - May 3, 2001 - BFMA Holding Corporation
("BFMA"), which two days ago made a fully-financed offer to purchase Morton's
Restaurant Group, Inc. ("Morton's") (NYSE:MRG) for $28.25 per share in cash,
today filed a fight letter with the SEC in connection with its offer and its
proxy contest wherein BFMA is attempting to unseat Allen Bernstein, Morton's
chairman and CEO, Thomas Baldwin, Morton's CFO, and John Castle. Icahn
Associates Corp., an affiliate of Carl C. Icahn, has committed to provide the
necessary bridge financing for the offer.

         In the letter, Barry W. Florescue, President and Chairman of the Board
of BFMA, wrote that "the shareholders have a simple but important choice to
make: they can support the status quo and suffer with a low value, low multiple
and illiquid stock and watch management issue themselves more options OR they
can vote for the BFMA nominees, telling the board that they are tired of their
delay and that they want the company to auction itself to the highest bidder
now."

         The fight letter goes on to set forth the reasons that shareholders
should vote the BFMA nominees onto the Board. These reasons include:

o    Morton's shares have underperformed the overall market - in fact, over the
     last eight years, shareholders would have done better putting their money
     in a savings account;

o    There is substantial value in Morton's that Allen Bernstein and his Board
     have failed to deliver to the shareholders due to poor business and
     financial judgment, excessive overhead spending and dilution to value
     through excessive option grants to management;



o    Allen Bernstein has made baseless attacks on the BFMA nominees and
     principals when he should be concerned about his own track record. The
     public record shows that, over the last 30 years, Mr. Bernstein has been
     associated with a long string of restaurant failures;

o    Allen Bernstein and Tom Baldwin have enriched themselves and entrenched
     themselves at the expense of shareholders through high salaries, bonuses
     and cheap option grants and through a poison pill, a staggered board and
     lucrative employment contracts and change of control agreements; and

o    BFMA does not believe that the company's share price will ever recognize
     the true value of the Morton's restaurant chain under this management team
     and board of directors.

         The letter further indicated that, although BFMA has already made a
fully-financed offer for $28.25 per share in cash, BFMA would consider offering
a higher price if Morton's management and board are able to demonstrate value
not apparent in the publicly available information. Morton's annual meeting is
currently scheduled for May 10, 2001.
