    Everything was wonderful once we got in the restaurant. We would have never made a reservation had we known the Christmas Parade was happening. What a traffic nightmare!! Now let’s get back to the food. Everyone enjoyed their meal, my wife had seafood risotto, it was delicious. My MIL had the small filet, she loved it. My FIL had the fried shrimp and was impressed. I had the bone in Ribeye and it was exceptional! Sides were asparagus, onion rings, and shoestring potatoes all were on point. The highlight for me was the escargot, simply delectable. Thanks to everyone at Musso and Frank for making my wife’s birthday dinner outstanding! Cheers until next time.

    We expected a special experience at the Tower Bar Restaurant this week, but we were pleasantly surprised by how much better it was than expected! The atmosphere was timeless and chic, the food was exceptional, and the service was beyond compare. It started at the front desk and was superb throughout our meal. We were never rushed, and were able to enjoy a long and relaxing brunch with multiple courses. The price was more reasonable than expected. And Angel our server was a true brand ambassador … he was knowledgeable, kind, entertaining, and made us want to not only return to the restaurant, but stay at the hotel the next time that we are in town. Thanks so much for a superb dining experience for the whole family. We can’t wait to come back again.

    Beautiful venue and really good food. The big miss was waiting and waiting for a new batch of mashed potatoes to come out. There were 8 of us waiting and sadly they never came. My food was cold by the time I decided to go back to my table. When I told our waiter Josh, he fetched some for our table of three. That was a big miss and that’s why I gave a less than five star on food. Luckily Josh and Kyle (who seated us) saved the day with their charm!

    The seating experience was great! Were brought to the bar for a drink and then our table, staff was very nice. The food was great, but our server was not very friendly. Seating was fast and course timing was perfect. Would recommend!
