Last night I took my son to dinner at Musso & Frank. Thank God it's still there! The tradition continues. We went to Musso & Frank. I learned something new. Turns out they created two more dining rooms. They built them a couple of years ago. They built them in the same exact style as the old part. If you didn't know it was new, you'd swear it was always there. Thats how good they look. Same exact style as the other dining room, right down to the murals along the top of the wall. Even the bathrooms look Like the old fashioned bathrooms, with the little tiles on the floor and subway style tile on the wall. It's amazing. The tables and chairs are the same as the old ones too. you could have knocked me over with a feather!!! We shared a Cesar salad, we both had perfectly cooked medium rare filet minions. A big plate of steak fries, and some sautéed mushrooms. I started with a classic Martini, everything was perfect!! It was an exemplary dining experience. read more

Went for dinner with our neighbors -- six couples in total, so a decent-sized group. We ordered a good spread across the menu: sand dabs, shrimp poulette, filet, New York steak, pasta, and the lobster thermidor, along with sides of broccolini, potatoes au gratin, and onion rings. For dessert we tried the apple pie, diplomat pudding, and chocolate mousse cake. Honestly, the sides outshined the entrees -- the broccolini, potatoes au gratin, and onion rings were all better than the mains. The entrees themselves were decent, but nothing stood out as great. Service was fine, but not particularly attentive or memorable either. Valet parking is $18 plus gratuity. The biggest issue was the noise. The main dining room was completely packed and so loud that we had to shout to have a conversation across the table. There's a side room with a handful of tables that looked like it would have been much quieter and better suited for a group our size, but it wasn't available when we arrived. Musso and Frank has the history and the old-Hollywood atmosphere going for it, so it's worth checking off the list once. But between the noise level and the overall "fine, not fantastic" food and service, we probably won't be rushing back. read more

If you want old school well executed, polished service and delicious food, this is the place to go. This was our second visit in less than three months to celebrate events in our family. Nick was our waiter this most recent visit, and he was friendly, courteous and gave outstanding customer service. You don't wanna miss out experiencing the best of old Hollywood. read more

There were 6 of us for dinner and we all had a great time. It's expensive but well worth the price. We ordered ribeyes, filets, asparagus, au gratin potatoes, a baked potato and all were cooked perfectly and delicious. All of the sides are shareable. The cocktails and two bottles of De Tables Creek were very good. We had excellent crème brûlées and an apple pie for dessert. Our server, Alex, was excellent and added to the evening. It was very busy so we were seated in a comfortable booth in the room with the bar. Obviously, we will return. read more

My first visit to Musso & Frank was everything I hoped it would be and more. We were looking for a little class and old-school elegance before heading off to the Smiths/Morrissey Convention, and Musso & Frank delivered on every level. The doors opened at 4 PM, and we were genuinely surprised at how quickly the place filled up. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted and escorted to the bar. My first impression? It felt like stepping into another era. The timeless atmosphere, the bartenders in their classic dinner vests, the polished wood, and the unmistakable Hollywood history surrounding you it all adds up to something special. The bartending team was a show in itself. Watching them effortlessly craft two and three cocktails at a time with precision and confidence was impressive. The Dry Martini was absolutely flawless about as good as it gets. Even better, they didn't blink when I ordered my signature Black Manhattan, a cocktail that's often met with puzzled looks elsewhere. Here, it was prepared perfectly and without hesitation. We kept things light and ordered a few small plates. The shrimp cocktail was so good we immediately ordered a second round. And the famous tomato soup? My oh my. Some things simply have to be experienced firsthand, and this is one of them. What really stood out was the service. Even though the bar was filling rapidly, our bartender went above and beyond to make sure every detail was right. The attention to hospitality never felt forced it felt genuine. Musso & Frank isn't just a restaurant; it's a piece of living Hollywood history. Between the atmosphere, the cocktails, the food, and the exceptional service, this was one of the most memorable bar experiences I've had in a long time. We'll definitely be back--next time for a proper dinner date. Cheers to another 106 years! Texas Mozzer read more

First time at this establishment. Arrived on time and parked on their lot. Fifteen dollars to park your car and dine. They validate the ticket to pay the fifteen dollars. I don't know if it's more if you don't valid. They have a dress code too. No hats during dinner time. The chicken pot pie is tasty. They present the meal and transfer to a plate to cool off the pie. The roasted chicken is delicious. For dessert the key lime and apple pie are a must. Save room! We will definitely dine again. Dining experience was nice and quiet. Great conversations going on and people from near and far come here. Give this place a try! read more

Walked over to Musso and Frank Grill after the Sound of Music at the Pantages, always a great time. Try to sit in Marco's section of the counter, always a nice vibe! Last night had the Veal Schnitzel with prosciutto along with a side of broccolini and hollandaise sauce. My wife had 8ounce filet and we shared a 1919sundae. Everything was delicious, cocktails were super and service is always fabulous. Do your self a favor and take a loaf of bread home. read more

5.5.26 Hubby wanted to try this spot while we were in LA after seeing it featured in Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood. I made a 9:15 PM reservation, and surprisingly, the restaurant was still packed that late. We arrived early and grabbed a seat at the bar--where part of the movie was filmed--while we waited. Even more surprising, I received a text about 20 minutes before our reservation time letting us know our table was ready. Service was a bit slow, but our server was very friendly. We split the New York steak and the chicken Parmesan, with mashed potatoes on the side since sides are à la carte. The chicken Parmesan was absolutely massive--it took up the entire plate. I've never seen anything quite like it. That said, the standout was the steak. My husband raved about it and said it was one of the best he's ever had. Highly recommend. read more

I can see why this place is famous! Unassuming on the outside but very classic old style Italian steak house!! Perfect charm and definitely packed. Valet for $15 for 3 hours.

Was in the area on vacation and have been wanting to check this place out due to its history and reputation. I was dining solo so I was sat at the counter. The atmosphere was very nostalgic, a big throwback to classic Hollywood. My server was good but not what I would consider nice. The rest of the staff I met were great. I ordered Prime Rib that was absolutely delicious! It came with a loaded baked potato and fresh bread. Overall had a great time and looking forward to going back. read more

Musso & Frank Grill - Roast Prime Rib of Beef with loaded Baked Potato - Steakhouses Near Me - Hollywood, California

A real gem in Hollywood. Musso & Frank is a great spot to go if you're craving a great steak or just a great meal in general. Everything feels like old school Hollywood. From the interior to the menus to the service your receive...it's all classic and charming. The complimentary sourdough is also awesome. Favorites bites: - French onion soup - so so good - Chicken parmesan - this is huge but delicious! - Rib-eye - Truffle mac n cheese If you have a small party, I recommend sitting at the bar where you can see the grill, it's mesmerizing. I also heard the desserts were excellent, but I've always been too full to try it! read more

Every time I wanna come here my plans fall through, but I finally made it in last night and it was worth the wait. First off, make a reservation because although some places in Hollywood are emptier this is not one of them. This is probably the busiest place in Hollywood. Timeslots book up quickly so be sure you make it in advance. We came in after a show at 9:30 and there was not one empty spot. We were greeted and seated promptly. Service here is excellent. Everything on the menu looks so good. They have quite an extensive menu.. I went with the fettuccine Alfredo and the Keylime pie for dessert. The fettuccine Alfredo was delicious. It's different from your traditional Alfredo it's not made with cream sauce but rather with butter and cheese and the portion is very generous. I can get 3 to 4 meals out of it. I did add grilled chicken and it was simple, but the rosemary really punched up the flavor of the alfredo. The Keylime pie may be the best I've ever had so mouthwatering I didn't wanna share and their bread that they give you is a great homemade sourdough bread. If there's any leftover put it in a box, bring it home toast it up and put some butter on it. I definitely need to make a return trip because I wanted to eat everything on the menu and if everything's as good as their fettuccine, I'm in for a real treat. read more

If it wasn't for our second bar host, I would've given this place ONE star for the service from the first bar host... Arrived on opening with our party of 4. 2 of us got seats at the bar, while the other two stood by. So...the first bar host was incredibly rude and looked like he hated being there. He was stationed on the far right if you're facing the bar. Like dude, you just opened. Why are you grumpy. He approached us as soon as sitting down and asked "you know what you want?" and we stated we were not ready yet. I asked if he had a menu of specialty cocktails and the dude actually rolls his eyes and half tosses a menu at me that I had to catch on the counter before it fell off. We were in shock at this guy's behavior. Thankfully he was not our main bar host because he shifted attention to other customers closer to his side. (He even ended up spilling a drink when serving it to the couple beside us and DID NOT apologize...). I do appreciate our kind, second bar host who was great. It's cool this place holds so much history, but I absolutely don't see myself ever recommending or visiting again because of that service alone. read more

And I promise you I'll never desert you again because.. Dining at "Musso & Frank" is almost too kool for skool.. It's like entering a film production and treated like the starring cast.. After libating a "Lemon Drop" for the Lass and an "Espresso Martini" for the Lad. These drinks were tagged w. "sidecars"..yes more kool.. The sharing a "Burrata Salad, RibEye Steak, Lyonnaise Potatoes and Grilled Broccolini" All items were most delicious and perfectly cooked. Then more libations.. A "Musso Negroni Cocktail" for the Lass and A "Stoli Vodka Martini" (Shaken not Stirred..:) for the Lad. The restaurant booths felt like a fun throwback to a Crime Flick from the 1950's.

What a class act. Had such a lovely meal here. We were celebrating my partner's birthday, and reuniting with my parents after a long nine months apart! The service was lovely, polite, and best of all - efficient. The food - every bite better than the last. My first sip of food was from the single best Gin martini in all of Los Angeles. The scallops were tender, sweet, and savory, served alongside a delicious chip and earthy shiitake mushrooms. I couldn't believe how well the flavors worked together. The Musso-Frank special salad was incredible - perfect amount of roughage to offset the incoming meat. The steak tartare was tender, well seasoned, and thoroughly flavorful. And the entrees were amazing. I loved the short rib special, but having nibbled on everyone else's meals, I would say I'd have the risotto if I were to do it over again. Though the biggest polpette I've ever seen in the Spaghetti & meatballs were enticing. I can't wait to come back for so many reasons, not least of which the old world decor, with high ceilings and grandiose wood paneling that embodies a presence and a sense of occasion. I felt so thoroughly taken care of here. Can't wait to come back. read more

Came here on a Friday with my family. Make sure you make a reservation because it was busy! We showed up 30 min early to have a drink at the bar before dinner and it was packed. You must have a martini at the bar! I opted for a vodka martini and they give you a small glass with basically an extra serving! We were seated promptly at 7:30P at our reservation time. I'm not going to lie.. drinks were flowing so I can't quite remember the side dishes I was eating. I just know that the potato dish we ordered was delicious! Also the french fries came with a thousand island sauce similar to In n Out's animal style sauce! I ordered the New York Steak, medium rare and it was cooked to PERFECTION! So tender! Highly recommend! Service was great as well! Everyone was so kind and really attentive. It was very busy but still had steady service from everyone. Highly recommend! read more

Musso & Frank Grill is the quintessential Hollywood watering hole, and part of its magic is that it feels as though it has barely changed in more than 100 years. It is the perfect place to bring out-of-town guests who want a taste of authentic old Hollywood. Come for a martini lunch, but be warned: one martini is really closer to two, since it arrives with the ice cold glass (with just a rinse of vermouth of course) plus your own chilled mini-shaker that is also full. The ancient wait staff take their work seriously - they've seen it all and have served EVERYone, so the service has that classic, professional polish you rarely find anymore. You may well spot a celebrity, especially at lunch or dinner at their favorite booth or table If you do not have a reservation, try the grill counter or the grill side that is less formal. The steaks are excellent, as are any of the grilled meats really, lobster mac and cheese, and chicken pot pie are hearty and comforting when you need to carb-load and wallow when you didn't get the part. Try not to fill up on the baguette and signature salted butter, and absolutely save room for dessert. You are in the heart of the Hollywood Walk of fame surrounded by landmarks Movie Palaces and theatres. read more

We arrived on a busy Friday in late January to celebrate a long overdue holiday dinner with my work colleagues. My boss really does love this restaurant. The food was very good, and we were having a great time with the appetizers and drinks and entrees. Then it came time to pack up our left overs. Another staff member came to our table and asked how many to-go containers we'd like. Two of my colleagues said they'd like a to-go container. He returned with two small containers and scooped their left overs into them. But there were still a mountain of sides in the middle so we asked for more containers. The man then became very irritated and said "But I asked you how many containers you wanted, and you said two!!" and stormed off. He brought back additional containers and very aggressively deposited the remaining food into them. My boss thought it was funny. I felt horrified, like we'd done something wrong and should apologize. Our waiter then returned and we carefully ordered dessert and drinks. During the remainder of our time there, I felt uncomfortable each time the to-go container man would appear. I didn't want to let it bother me, but I don't think good service should ever make a customer potentially feel bad. Was he joking? Was he serious? Honestly, I wish I didn't have to remember this evening with these questions and could have just enjoyed a peaceful dinner. read more

There's a reason Musso & Frank is so iconic. I finally got to try the restaurant recently, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! The atmosphere and vibes are incredible, the service was truly next-level, and the food and drink are second to none. The scallops were wonderful. The steak, of course, is exceptional. The Potatoes Au Gratin were the surprise star of the meal, and the creamed spinach is a classic. Cocktails were great, as well. There is valet parking, but if you have time before your reservation, there is free neighborhood street parking available. Perfect spot for a special occasion! read more

I love vintage and places with history and my husband surprised me with reservations at Musso & Frank's! We got there at 6pm and parking lot in the back with Valet ($15)was super convenient. Walking in you truly feel like you teleported back in time. The place has a very cool, classy vibe. The waiters are dressed in red coats and mgmt in full suites. You can hear live music playing at the bar and people watching the steaks cook on opposite bar. Our table was a private booth and felt very exclusive. Our waiter was a delight and made us feel so welcomed. The steak and rib eye were perfectly cooked and everything was delicious. We ordered the 1919 sundae and we highly recommend it. This place is truly something everyone should experience. read more

As Taylor Swift says, "we hit the best booth at Musso & Frank.." so I had to do that. This is such a historic Steakhouse being the oldest restaurant on Hollywood since 1919. They are known for many celebrities having their own booths here, which have been named rightfully so. Upon entering, we were led to our booth and presented a birthday card which is so thoughtful as we were celebrating my husband's birthday. The service was great as they brought out bread and butter for us. I always appreciate when the butter is actually soft enough and they even got us a second plate. It might've been a mistake, but we ain't complaining. For the meal, I ordered the Roast Prime Rib ($70), which includes a baked potato. The husband got the Bone-In Ribeye Steak ($68) with Truffle Mac and Cheese ($22). Wow, the food was all very delicious and the vibe really enhanced this classic Hollywood feel. I also liked how private many of the tables were, which makes sense why celebrities enjoyed coming here. The prime rib was super tender although there are some fatty parts. I could use some extra toppings on the baked potato, but it's a nice side to pair. Everything was very reasonable for what you're getting. We ended up taking leftovers home and I liked how they packed everything for you. My husband also had an Espresso Martini ($18), which was basically two glasses so a great value. At the end of the meal, we were brought a complimentary birthday dessert as well. This was such a nice gesture without us asking at all. Loved the food, service and vibe here, especially if you're into the classic Hollywood history. The only thing I didn't like is the fact that they are located on most touristy street of LA, which means parking sucks. They have a parking lot behind the restaurant with validation for $15 for 2 hours or $25 for more. Instead, I ended up parking at the Cherokee & Hollywood Parking Lot for a flat $18 fee after 6pm. You won't find me in Hollywood area often, but I'd come back for Musso & Frank. read more

Visited Musso and Frank's while working close by and so glad I did! I've seen this on the shower Lincoln lawyer so wanted to stop by and try this for myself and looking forward to my next meal here. The service was amazing at the bar. The server was fantastic engaging and great hearing all the history the restaurant has. The ambiance is just simply amazing know you are sitting where many historic and current celebrities have dined. The best part is the staff treats everyone the same with great respect and great hospitality! As for the food the steak was perfectly cooked and had great flavor. The Key lime pie was awesome and probably top 2 I've ever had and I've eaten that because I've eaten key lime pie in the Florida keys and Miami where they have some of the best. Will certainly be back with my guest next time so she is able to enjoy this experience as well. read more

I went there recently for my birthday and it was one of my favorite dinners. Our waiter was Roberto and he couldn't have been nicer. The steak was cooked to perfection, oysters were fantastic, fettuccine Alfredo is a must to share. Legend has it Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Mary Pickford brought the recipe back from Europe back in the 1920s. But it is the ambience of this place that makes it stellar. It's like stepping back in time. And let me be clear, I hate Hollywood and especially Hollywood Blvd. It's a nasty place right up there with Times Square. Tourists, bad cheesy trinket shops, and the seediest people on the planet. But I will happily go there if it means Musso and Frank. That's how much I like this place. I Ubered there so I can be dropped off and picked up right in front. They have a much needed doorman who stands guard out front to keep the loonies away. And kudos to them for doing it. read more

I've eaten here several times before and always had a good experience, which made this visit especially disappointing. The dirty martini was fine, and the non-alcoholic drink was just okay. My sister-in-law ordered the salmon and had to send it back twice -- first it came out overcooked and dry, and the second time it was raw on half of the fish. Clearly, the kitchen struggled with a very basic dish. On the positive side, the steak was cooked perfectly. What truly ruined the experience, though, was how management treated my brother, who is disabled and has a legitimate service dog (not an emotional support animal). He has proper documentation, yet the manager repeatedly questioned him about why he needed the service dog -- which is inappropriate and not their business. They were already provided with the legal paperwork stating the dog is permitted. When I tried to speak with another manager, he was dismissive and smug, talked over me, and claimed this was "protocol." It is not -- what they did was illegal. Because of how poorly my brother was treated, our family will not be returning. This experience made it clear that this restaurant does not value its customers or respect the disabled community. read more

We came to Musso & Frank Grill because Michael Connelly talks about this LA landmark in his books, and wow--it lived up to the hype. We stopped in on a Friday night just for a drink at the bar, had such a great time that we came back Saturday for dinner. Connelly always mentions ordering a martini which comes with a sidecar (a little extra pour on ice), so that's exactly what I got--and it was perfect. The bartender was incredibly friendly and engaging, and told us that many of the servers and bartenders have been there for years. Once you're hired, you don't leave--and it shows. Apparently all of their mixed drinks come with a sidecar, which is such a cool old-school touch. We ended Friday night with a slice of their house-made chocolate cake, which was rich, classic, and absolutely delicious. I couldn't get reservations for Saturday, so we walked in and specifically asked for seats at the bar on the restaurant side, which put us right in front of the grill. We waited about 15 minutes, and they call you when your seats are ready--easy and painless. The cook working the grill was friendly and chatted with us throughout the night, and we learned that all grilled items are made right there, which was awesome to watch. Since it's a steakhouse, I ordered the filet with a salad, and we split a baked potato--classic and done perfectly. The service was outstanding. Every server was professional, polished, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. The entire vibe screams old-school steakhouse: the decor, the jackets and ties on the staff, the walls covered with old menus and historic photos. This is clearly an LA institution that has stood the test of time for a reason. 10/10. Highly recommend. If you want a true Hollywood classic with incredible service and timeless charm, this is it. read more

Finally got around to eating here, and overall I really liked it. The creamed spinach was perfect. I also had the asparagus, which was a little underseasoned, but cooked perfectly, and the hollandaise was excellent. The chicken parmesan tasted great, but it had zero crispiness, which was disappointing. I ordered the 12 oz. filet. It seemed like a no brainer over the 8 oz. since the smaller one was $60 and the 12 oz. was only $68. Pricing wise, I can't imagine ordering the smaller one. I ordered it medium, even though I usually prefer medium rare, because I was sharing it. It came out rare, so I had to send it back. The waiter explained that the larger filets are so thick that it's difficult to raise the temperature in the center without overcooking the outside. As someone who cooks steaks, I understand what he meant, but it's also a steakhouse that's been around for 107 years. I'd think they'd have figured that out by now. A reverse sear would solve that, but clearly that's not how they prepare them. I am not going to give them notes (outside of this anonymous review), they are doing great. The steak still tasted good. It was tender, as you'd expect from a filet, but it was a little underseasoned, and the crust was really only on the top. For a steakhouse, it was definitely the biggest disappointment of the meal. The cheesecake was perfection. Perhaps the best I ever had. Service was outstanding. I also loved the dining room. It has such a unique atmosphere, and you can really feel the history. It took me decades of living in LA to finally make it here, and I'm really glad I did. I don't think it'll become a regular spot for me, but if someone wanted to go, I'd happily come back. Seems like a great spot to take someone visiting LA for their first time, especially if you've been on Hollywood blvd that day. Some of the food was genuinely outstanding. I just expected more from the steak at a legendary steakhouse. read more

Had a 4pm reservation and walked over from the Pantages. We were a little early so we waited outside with quite a few others who were there for a mix of reservations and walk ins. Once they opened we were seated quickly and efficiently. We had a small booth for two with high walls so you can't really see anything else going on in the restaurant which made it feel very private and cozy. It was my birthday and they had a cute birthday card waiting for me on the table which was such a nice touch. I ordered a dirty martini which was delicious and my mom had a glass of rosé. We shared everything starting with the Caesar salad. Yelp steered me wrong because it didn't come with anchovies but our waiter was able to add a side for $10. Then we had the onion soup and you absolutely must get this. It was incredible. Next was the gnocchi with Gorgonzola which was very good. To finish they brought me a warm brownie with ice cream for my birthday and it was so delicious. They kept our waters full the entire time and our server was nice though there was an obvious difference in service compared to the table across from us who was getting the full history of the restaurant and lots of recommendations. Overall the food was very good and I loved the historic aspect of the restaurant but this part of Hollywood just isn't my favorite. read more

Musso & Frank Grill - Steakhouses Near Me - Hollywood, California

Musso & Frank Grill is much more than a great restaurant--it's a true Hollywood institution. From the moment you walk through the doors, you feel like you've stepped back into the Golden Age of Hollywood. The dark wood, red leather booths, white-jacketed servers, and timeless atmosphere create an experience that's difficult to find anywhere else. The food was exactly what we hoped for: classic, well-executed, and comforting. This isn't a place chasing the latest food trends. Instead, it celebrates traditional dishes that have stood the test of time, and they do them exceptionally well. What really impressed us was the service. Professional, polished, and genuinely welcoming, the staff made us feel like valued guests from the moment we arrived. You can tell many of them have been perfecting their craft for years. One of the most enjoyable parts of the evening was learning about the restaurant's incredible history. Hearing stories about the famous actors, writers, and directors who have dined here over the decades only adds to the charm. Every booth seems to have its own story. If you're looking for the trendiest restaurant in Los Angeles, this probably isn't it. But if you appreciate history, impeccable old-school hospitality, classic cocktails, and beautifully prepared food in an atmosphere that simply can't be replicated, Musso & Frank Grill is an absolute must. We'll definitely be back. read more

It's Hubbies birthday and he opted for a staycation. So we're doing the touristy stuff in downtown Hollywood. Which means dinner at the famous Musso & Franks. As I was getting ready we were watching Ocean's Eleven. Brad Pitt and George Clooney are sitting in the restaurant we will be dining shortly. We're very excited! Hubs made the reservation online. We couldn't be seated at 7 so he looked for the next available time slot which was 8:30. Unfortunately he missed the little detail that it was 8:30 three weeks from now as the host made us aware. As our brains are scrambling trying to think of where we could eat, the host smiles and says "I'm going to squeeze you two in." Overjoyed and relieved!! The place was buzzing with laughter and excitement. Mostly group out for a fun Friday night. There were waiters in red jackets making their way through the crowd. We were seated in the large dining room. It was like stepping back into old Hollywood. Our waiter, Robert, brought fresh sourdough bread for the table and told us that many of the old school stars had dined there like Marilyn Monroe and Robert Redford. Very cool. Hubby ordered an Old Fashioned and I got a Dirty Martini as we fawned over the menu. Of course my carnivore spouse got the ribeye. I ordered the Grilled Salmon so I could sample both the surf and the turf. The salmon had a butter and caper sauce that bumped this dish up to the best salmon ever. The ribeye was melt in your mouth and juicy! We shared the creamiest mashed potatoes and perfectly grilled broccolini. We took the cheesecake to go. I took a couple of bites before bed and it was smooth and sweetened with fresh berries. A perfect night! Musso & Franks is a must if you want the total Hollywood, CA experience! You will love the atmosphere and the attentive service! read more

Musso & Frank Grill - Please excuse the bites taken from my Grilled Salomon. It smelled so good I forgot about taking a picture and dug right in. - Steakhouses Near Me - Hollywood, California

M&F is unbeatable when you combine the progressional service, quality of food, genuinely nostalgic environment and rich history. Despite all that, the prices are reasonable especially when compared with many of the chain steakhouses. The moment my vodka martini (served with a carafe) arrived, I knew we were in for a special experience. The steak tartar was fresh and tasted clean and not overpowering like many other steakhouses that over flavor it. Ribeye was perfectly seared with a well balanced crust while it remained medium rare. The dish that made the strongest impression was the veal schnitzel, which had a light and crunchy batter, tender inside topped off with savory prosciutto. We are truly fortunate that after 107 years, this landmark restaurant is still thriving and entertaining patrons like the Golden Age of Hollywood. read more

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. read more
