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!
