    Everything you would expect from an outstanding upscale dinning experience! From the Dj in the corner to the entire restaurant design this place is the entire vibe. Food, as I sit here typing and munching on my leftovers with the most basis of reheat options, the microwave, take me right back to when my lobster drunken noodles and lobster fried rice were dropped of at my table last night hot and fresh! Chef's Kiss, thank you. Drinks warmed your soul as well. But more over the reason I'll definitely be back many more times, is they recognize you're coming out spending hard earn money for a chance to relax and enjoy a night out, never felt rushed to just eat and leave! We were encouraged to just enjoy our items as they arrived and continue our conversation or listening to the music and people watching! Thank you for an all around dinning experience cant wait to be back.

    We absolutely love Musso and Frank, in a short time it has become our go-to place for special occasions, birthdays, treat yourself kind of evenings. All of the staff here is amazing, Craig was top-notch and I hope he serves us again. But all of the servers here are fantastic and truly make this dinner an experience. The food almost comes second but it is AMAZING! Steaks cooked perfectly well, refreshing wedge, and my favorite that jellied consommé (though they were out of it last night sadly). Love the martini’s with their little sidecar and some beautiful wines on the menu. The front desk staff always honor our booth requests and ensure they get us a perfect table. Can’t wait for our next visit!

    I really appreciated the valet, hostess and host. I dined with a friend on crutches. Valet made sure friend could park in closest handicapped parking space. Hostess was sensitive to my companion’s needs and offered two nearby tables to choose from so she didn’t have to walk too far. My friend and I love the shishito peppers. She loved her tacos. The blt banh mi sandwich is good but has no resemblance to a bahn mi at all. Love that they have a nice selection of mocktails so you can feel festive if you’re sober or need to drive back to work. The patio is lovely. Service is good and self parking is free with validation.

    Nick is arguably the BEST server in LA! He is so knowledgeable and honest and fun without being at all intrusive. The front desk staff are also excellent. They rush to open the door for us and greet us with big smiles. We aren't huge regulars, but they make us feel like we are. We're never rushed from our table (but we don't linger endlessly on a busy night). Compliments to the bus team as well for their attentiveness. Overall, one of the best restaurants in LA, and not a big bold presence on this quiet corner on Sunset. You will never be disappointed. (And if you are for something you didn't really love, they totally make up for it with extra goodies and tastes at no charge. Thanks to all the Gwen team!

    Our first time but not our last. I had minestrone soup and my husband broccoli potato soup. Both were delicious and ample portions. The bread was hot and delicious too. We shared a NY style pizza and then pistachio ice cream because it was my birthday. Very authentic food, nice atmosphere. Thanks for a memorable dinner.
