Musso & Frank Grill

“A classic Hollywood experience. I ordered the onion soup and the filet mignon with a baked potato—everything was excellent. The steak was cooked perfectly and the soup was rich and flavorful. The waiters were very well trained and professional, which made the service feel polished and attentive. The interior design is old and magnificent, giving the restaurant a timeless atmosphere that really adds to the experience. The complimentary bread and butter were also good, although the bread could have been a bit fresher. Overall, a wonderful dining experience and a great place to enjoy a classic meal on Hollywood Boulevard.”

“Musso & Franks Grill is a world class dining experience. My wife and I are locals and came out celebrating our daughter that is about to be born. Thankfully, despite having no reservation, we were able to snag comfortable bar seats at opening (the bar seats have a back and are comfortable!). Then, I was able to have a perfect martini with sidecar (good on you Musso & Franks). My wife had a lovely Mocktail. And then we enjoyed their delicious bread and some olives/cheese. The entrees were amazing. I had the Ribeye and my wife the Salmon with us sharing the Gratin Potatoes. All delicious! The second dirty martini with blue cheese olives was even better than the first. Overall, what sealed the night for us was the kindness of Robert who took care of us. We enjoyed our conversation. And we were thankful for his and Musso & Franks graciousness of the free desert. We weren’t expecting it at all and were touched. It’s not often where you get to eat at an LA historical landmark, a place rooted in good food, and encounter a staff that saw us beyond just customers. Thank you Musso & Franks. Never change.”

“Outstanding old style, fine dining with out of this world food taste and quality. We’ve visiting this place every time we visit LA and for many years the quality is outstanding. This time we ordered beef tartare and salmon tartare for appetizers, scallops and sand dubs for the entree. Tartare were super fresh with homemade chips. Scallops were tender, while sand dubs were full of taste and done right. Will definitely get back.”

“Went here with a work party and so happy that we did. It was very surprising. Cool place that’s been around forever. It was neat to hear the history and legacy of this restaurant. Our server was Luis. He’s been there 14 years! The food was actually better than expected. Im not a wine connoisseur but I do know good from bad and thought the Musso and Frank wine was pretty good. The place is dark, it’s part of the charm and ambience. You do need to dress up a little bit. No hats! And wear a collard shirt. I got the short rib special and dang happy with that choice. Everyone said their dish was great. Good quality food at decent prices. Happy we got to experience this place.”

“I’ve been twice and the second experience was absolutely awful. The first time the food was not the best because we came at closing and the steak was way overcooked but the server Theo was amazing and he had them redo the steak and when done properly it’s one of my favorites in the city. So I brought my mom again for her birthday tonight since she’s visiting from out of state. Tonight the server was one of the worst I’ve had in a long time. From the time we got there he acted annoyed at literally everything we said or asked. Didn’t even greet us or make an attempt, the second we sat down he asked what cocktails we wanted and rolled his eyes and walked away when I said we just sat down and hadn’t seen the menu yet. Acted like he hated working there and hated us for being there. I asked them for a different server even (which I’ve never ever done in my life) but my mom was embarrassed and asked me not to and we kept him and she regretted it later when he was still the worst we’ve had. No personality, acted annoyed at everything, rarely checked on us, would ignore us when walking by even when we needed something, never told us the bar or kitchen was closing, just zero service from him besides the brief moment after he knew we complained and he pretended to try a little bit. That lasted .2 seconds. It was frustrating because we could see other tables with different servers get great service and truly the server can make or break your evening. I’ve worked in hospitality for 15 + years so maybe I’m more aware of when servers are spectacular or terrible. And the first time I went, even though my friend was late picking me up the server was still really wonderful. He even remembered me tonight and took a picture of my mom and I instead of our server who should have been the one offering for the special occasion. We were celebrating her birthday and I left saying I never want to come here again. To top of off, I’m a big wine person and they served their port in a rocks glass. I’ve never I bought an expensive Madeira or port and had it served in such an awful glass for tasting. It ruined the pour, it didn’t smell or taste right. Glasses truly matter and it showed a lack of care. The pour is usually smaller for ports and Madeira but this was laughable how little they gave. My mom lost her pearl earring to just top off the worst dining experience we’ve had in a long time.. in the video singing happy birthday to her she has both on but right before we left one fell out and we couldn’t find it on the floor. They were trying to close down so they said they’d call us if they found it but I’m not feeling super hopeful after the bad experience.”
