- OTOpenTable DinerLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoI celebrated my 55th birthday at Musso and Franks'. The best steak dinner I've had in years! The au gratin potatoes and creamed spinach were fantastic pairings. I also did not have to explain what a "Rusty Nail" was to their mixologist behind the bar. Fantastic dinning experience and we will be going back.More infoMusso & Frank GrillPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Hollywood•4.8
- JJessicaDenver / Colorado •25 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoReally awesome experience! Maria S was our server and she was the sweetest. It was my mom’s bday and we just decided to go for lunch. Didn’t realize there wasn’t valet parking for lunch so went in circles trying to figure out parking - park in the visitor underground parking garage of the US bank building. Restaurant will validate 2 hours of parking for $10 (instead of $40). Loved all the food. Ceviche was fresh, the pasta appetizer felt like a huge portion, hanger steak and smashed fried potatoes were divine, and the seared ahi tuna over veggies/salad was refreshing and light. The view is grand and made the meal feel so worth it.More info71AbovePrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.7
- DDavonNew York City •6 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe food here is absolutely outstanding. it’s no wonder this place has thrived for nearly a decade and keeps people coming back. With excellent dishes, reasonable prices, and a perfectly cozy ambiance, it delivers a true dining experience. This is hands down my new favorite spot for a warm, intimate dinner with my husband. Last night, we tried just about everything and couldn’t find a single thing to complain about. If you’re looking for exceptional Italian cuisine with a modern twist, this is the place to be.More infoBestiaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.8
