MUSSO & FRANK GRILL

Back when Manny Felix and Endolpho worked, Manny seated Jeff Lynne and Ronnie Wood next to my usual seat at the counter.
Great place to dine.

We went here for our anniversary dinner on 3/29/2024 and it was phenomenal! The staff had a card for us for our anniversary and our amazing waiter, Jason, brought us a special dessert to celebrate our anniversary. Jason was a fantastic waiter!! He helped us figure out what we would like off the menu and continuously checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. All of the food was AMAZING! We had the Lyonnaise potatoes, filet, truffle mac and cheese, and spicy rigatoni vodka pasta. The sauce on the spicy rigatoni vodka was outstanding and might be some of the best spicy vodka sauce we have ever had in a pasta dish! The filet was incredibly tender and cooked to perfection. We also loved the truffle mac and cheese and the Lyonnaise potatoes! We had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary here and cannot wait to come back next time we are in town!

Finally came to check out this old Hollywood establishment!! Loved the decor and vibes reminds me of New York. From hosts to servers to kitchen crew, everyone is so warm and funny made us felt very welcomed. Definitely need to reserve ahead because I overheard they were all booked out and I assume that happens every night.

For food we got:
- Mussel’s special salad. Romaine and avocado in a creamy dressing. Delicious yet light.
- hubby got sand dab and loved it. Very flavorful I wish portion was a bit bigger
- I got ribeye cap as many reviews recommended. Did not disappoint! Was so tender and juicy. Love the jus too.
- Alfredo. They were so kind and split in two without us even asking. I gotta say I understand this is a classic and cult favorite but I guess just not for me. Still good but I wouldn’t order it again as I enjoyed the other entrees much more.
- New York cheese cake for dessert. This was the highlight of the night!! Our server said best NY cheesecake on the west coast and I was skeptical! But he was right!! It was so creamy and cheesy. Not overly sweet. I almost ate the whole thing by myself!

Drinks: I gotta try the classic dirty martini and hubby old fashioned. Both were great and the martini came with a mini carafe with extra for refill later so cute!

Our go-to place for birthdays! Great food and service and so much history around their food. We always have a great time here.

Underwhelming. Filet mignon was literally raw in middle and lacked any distinguishing qualities. Caesar salad was terrible. Sides were ok. Old fashioned was a complete disappointment. Went in with high hopes, left wishing we went somewhere else. Would not go back.
