Musso & Frank Grill Los Angeles Reviews
Reasonable expectation becomes big disappointment
Atmosphere authentic and lively; pleasant, accommodating front-of-house manager; obsequious, pushy waiter; mediocre to awful food.

I have lived in Southern California for most of my life and I have never been here. I have heard the stories. I have read my fair share of Bukowski but had never ventured. We were there for an early dinner and the place lived up to the lore. We did
sorry musso & frank, but seemed like an off night.
both food (-1) and service (-1) were spotty. FOOD: sunday special of duck confit was dry and tasteless. sandabs were gluey from flour coating (which isn't mentioned on the menu). i've had way better sandabs when they're not floured.

We were given a gift card and decided to try it for our anniversary this past weekend. Good: ambiance, note for anniversary and FANTASTIC onion soup. Not good: server was excessively casual. It was odd. At an upscale steakhouse I want professional a

This place is phenomenal.
Perfect for a romantic dinner or a celebration. Everything we tried was delicious
Best steak i've ever tasted.
Josh was the most amazing server. Valet was speedy. And the whole experience made a really magical birthday dinner tonight with my old friend John. Time to go home, take off my suit, and get in my birthday suit.
Very nostalgic of old Hollywood.
Very nice ambiance and great service, I just don't find my steak to be all that good. I kept hearing amazing things about this place, and honestly I prefer the steaks I make at home, and I'm not a good chef. Sorry
I sat at the bar for a drink.
Good cocktails. A little noisier than I had expected. I didn't try the food. It would have broken the bank!

I love walking into this restaurant because I feel like I am transported to old Hollywood. I love thinking about how I'm eating in a place where Lucille Ball once ate. The food is on the pricier side, but I think that is standard for quality s
Parking: we walked over from The Ovation.
But parking looked tough in the area. I'm not sure if they have a private lot somewhere. Atmosphere: obviously. They have kept the historic, old Hollywood charm. I had hoped to sit in Steve McQueen's favorite seat, and the universe must
Staff make up for my previous ooops!!
Had a chance to do a make up dinner with my wife on 8/22/25. The first time I took her to dinner here fell apart completely because of me! I let the staff know my plan to make it up to my wife when I made my reservation via open tableโฆ I kinda for
Amazing
Like stepping back in time into a different world. Service was great, food was spectacular and the atmosphere and vibe was classic and charming.
Classic Hollywood dining!
I mean, itโs legendary, so it has to be 5 stars! The ambiance is old school Hollywood and it really has not changed much (if at all) over the decades. From the Classic Martini (with the side car second pour), to the big steaks, to the pasta, itโs
Well. I LOVE this gem of old Hollywood. The meats on point. Atmosphere and Serviceโฆyou just feel like a character out of the โGodfatherโ in the old days who is visiting their club. I just wish they would take a little more time for you to breat
Been here many times and it has never disappointed.
Food, service, and ambiance are truly exceptional. This place has been here since the early 1900's and it amazes me how it hasn't lost a step.

Musso & Frank is a weird little spot.
It's definitely aiming at a classic Hollywood classy establishment vibe, and the guests inside seemed to dress for that atmosphere. Just be warned it is on Hollywood Blvd, which is a pit if you're not familiar with it (I.e. you may not enjoy your wal
Impeccable service
Went for my birthday dinner. Paid Valet parking is in the rear. Your waiter will validate your ticket so you'll pay a discounted rate. You enter in the rear and walk to the front host stand. You will be escorted to your table. Your waiter will appear
Old Hollywood experience.
Prime rib special was amazing. I couldn't eat it all. That's OK. Take it home. Make a prime rib sandwich the next day. Service is beyond excellent. Be sure to have a classic cocktail to start the meal.

Great Service, Old School ambience, good food and vibes.
They got it all right! They serve delicious steaks and seafood. I highly recommend it.
Fun group dinner with friends.
They seated us in a corner booth with a view over the dining room. Lively atmosphere on a Wednesday night. Service was brisk and unobtrusive- so nice to experience professional service. Appetizers and entrees were traditional and delicious, cocktails

Itโs hard to find anything original these days, the Musso & Frank Grill is like entering a time machine and experiencing a something special. From the classic and seemingly untouched interior from 1919, the hardworking staff and of course amazi

It's a classic in Hollywood! Been coming here for years and won't stop . The food and atmosphere are always on point. You feel like you have stepped in the 1940's . Such an elegant place to eat and drink, perfect for date nights .

Nostalgic escape from the doldrums of the city

Gotta Go Once!
Such an icon in Los Angeles. Go just for the experience! The food is good, not great. The wait staff are friendly and professional. But the atmosphere is old-school Hollywood.
Wonderful, Classic Old Restaurant
Musso & Frank is an old Los Angeles, and specifically Hollywood icon, one of the most significant holdouts of an earlier era in a massive city which has lost so much of its earlier heritage. This restaurant, in business since 1919 and the oldest

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Musso & Frank Grill Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Musso & Frank Grill Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Musso & Frank Grill Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Musso & Frank Grill Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
