- RRaulOrange County •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoFirst Anniversary well done. The service is always the best we’ve ever had from LA to Paris. The food was cooked to perfection, we both got the Ribeye Medium Rare and it was exquisite. They sat us in the Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio table, never a bad experience at Musso and Franks and can’t wait to come back.More infoMusso & Frank GrillPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Hollywood•4.8

From the moment you walk in, the ambiance captures you with its stunning décor—bold, sophisticated, and luxurious. The dim lighting and dramatic touches create a sense of exclusivity, setting the stage for a remarkable meal. The menu is a carefully curated selection of Asian-inspired dishes, each bursting with bold flavors and artistic presentation. Highlights include the crispy Peking duck, which is perfectly cooked with a delicate balance of sweetness and savoriness, and the miso-glazed Chilean sea bass, which melts in your mouth with every bite. The sushi is fresh and expertly prepared, and the dim sum offers a delightful variety. What truly elevates the experience is the impeccable service. Staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to enhance your dining experience with their recommendations.
