Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Monrovia

Let me just say that everything we ordered was chef’s kiss 🤌🏻 the ambience and attentiveness of the staff is also top tier. Definitely coming back soon.

All is very beautiful ! I'm from Ukraine and I search a long time some place with good food - and 71 Above it really perfect !

I'm embarrassed! I first went to M & F's in the late 70s. Over the years, I've gone with clients, friends, and family. Sunday, November 24th, I took my wife for her birthday, we were early, so we sat at the bar for a little bit. The bartenders were 2 very sweet young ladies. I mentioned to them that I've never seen such young waiters and bartenders working here. They then stated that last year, they were the 1st women to be hired in the 104-year history of M & F's. I then told them both how embarrassed I was to not notice in all the years that there weren't any women working there prior to them. They made one excellent vodka martini and a wonderful non-alcoholic drink for my wife. Love Musso-Frank's still.

This place is absolutely my favorite restaurant in LA! Every dish on the menu is delicious. You just can’t go wrong with anything!! My favorites are hummus with pita, king oyster mushroom kebab, grilled prawns, and whole lamb rack. The pita bread is freshly baked and it’s so soft that I want to scream when I dip it in the hummus! The mushroom kebab has a good balance between the smoky flavor and fresh lemon zest on top. The avocado sauce on the bottom also has a refreshing touch to it. And the whole lamb rack - you need to order this. Period. Unfortunately, they don’t have the braised beef cheek with coconut rice anymore… But they now have pomegranate sauced ox tail, which I need to try next time I go. Service is good. My server always checks to make sure everything is good. Every dish is introduced and explained when they are presented to the table. The atmosphere is great as well. The patio seating has heaters on so you don’t get cold at night. I absolutely enjoy every single bit of my dinner at this place every time! Not to mention I really like their hand soap… I need to get those for my own place.

It was a great place to have brunch. Our son ate all of his chicken and waffles;). Service was great and the people working were all so pleasant. They even give locals a discount. Will definitely come back for cocktails and events they have with or without kids.
