Best Restaurants for People Watching in Silver Lake

My experience was overall really good. The waiter was very attentive to our needs and understanding of the fact my friend and I were pretty blasted when we ordered our food. The food was really good and exceeded my expectations. Will be going back soon!

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.

I've now been here two times and the food has been excellent overall. I could personally do without the frequent use of chili slices. Other than that, the flavors and textures are marvelous. The brioche bread and hummus are delectable. I feel like every dish is a slam dunk - too bad there isn't a sampler platter! The decor is lovely, a few discreet fabric panels might help with the noise as its a bit hard to hear the people across from you - the sound bounces around the cavernous space. The crowd seems very chic, a bit eccentric in a fun way and more adult - that's probably the price point keeping out the under 30 crowd.

The staff was exceptionally great during our last visit. Every single member of the staff checked in and were so nice and accommodating. The food and drinks are always superb and even though it was cold out the heaters were blazing and made it comfortable. The lamb humus and the pear brie pizza was soooo delicious. Oh and they have gluten free pizza dough which is huge for me. I’m a fan I’m of this restaurant.

I dined here last night, and I appreciate the experience I gained with such an attentive and polite staff welcoming us into their cozy and warm ambience of the restaurant. The food was exceptional: all the flavors and quality really stood out to me. I hope to be coming back here soon, hopefully, multiple times.
