    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.

    I spent my 31st birthday here and it was absolutely perfect. The food was fantastic, service was quick and friendly, more than anything though, they had old school Hospitality. Felt like I had been coming there for years despite it being my first time. Fantastic little neighborhood spot with delicious and creative dishes, they are a breath of fresh air in LA. 10/10, they’re worth every penny and more.

    I loved everything about my experience, great drinks, amazing service, good atmosphere. I’d give 5 stars across the board but wish they had more vegan and gluten free options. I ended up just having a salad which was good but wasn’t enough for a dinner (adding nuts or mushrooms would have been nice but wasn’t available). Lastly parking with validation for a just shy of 4 hours was $37. That is ridiculous.
