We went to Ruth’s Chris in Pasadena for our anniversary dinner. The staff was courteous and attentive, the food was excellent, and the entire experience was top notch. They made our anniversary feel special; they even customized the front page of the menu with our names and decorated our table with hearts. Truly outstanding experience, and looking forward to returning again soon!

Food and ambiance at M&F outstanding as ever. (I do wish they'd heat the bread, tho.) But this trip they outdid themselves in service. My dear companion now uses a cane and walks quite slowly. The valet noticed and actually drove him around to the front door where I met them having come down the stairs and secured our reservation. On leaving a member of wait staff lead him out a side door to the curb while I brought the car around. They made the night of my dear's birthday even more wonderful than just the dinner. This is old style service, above and beyond. Three cheers for Musso & Franks.

This place is as good as you could possibly want. The staff is generous and gracious, the food is delicious and prices are reasonable for the quality of what you're getting. The steaks we got were variations on the rib eye - they have a less-fat version and a more-fat version. They both are very very good, come on a wood board with some extra flaky salt and a healthy amount of chimichurri. It was all completely divine.
