    We sat at the mozzarella bar and had the most amazing meal. Our waiter was brilliant at her job! She's been there 10 years and is a total pro. She helped us decide on our mix of things to order and every dish was incredible. Also, our cocktails were so delicious. The smoothest martini I've ever had. My husband hand an old fashioned and said the same thing. It was a very special dining experience.

    To dine at Musso & Frank’s Grill is to have an experience like no other in LA: old world style, dishes that have long since disappeared from the menus of any other of its competitors and the pleasure of knowing that one is dining in a space that has probably catered for virtually every great name ever to have graced Hollywood in the course of the past century. Look beyond the cheap and tawdry pseudo glamour of the rest of the Hollywood strip and allow yourself the pleasure of an authentic experience you will never forget, long after the memory of all the dross of the surrounding razzmatazz has faded into oblivion. Worth every penny twice over.

    Restaurant was out of cornbread; however, the chef personally gave us some on the way out from brunch. Wish they offered real maple syrup. Appreciate if butter was not in disposable packaging (to help with environment). Chicken and waffles were good. Yams were a bit sweet; however good recipe and enjoyed them.
