Food and ambiance at M&F outstanding as ever. (I do wish they'd heat the bread, tho.) But this trip they outdid themselves in service. My dear companion now uses a cane and walks quite slowly. The valet noticed and actually drove him around to the front door where I met them having come down the stairs and secured our reservation. On leaving a member of wait staff lead him out a side door to the curb while I brought the car around. They made the night of my dear's birthday even more wonderful than just the dinner. This is old style service, above and beyond. Three cheers for Musso & Franks.

Wonderful, family run restaurant. Great mix of classic and innovative dishes

Had the most incredible experience at Sushi Polish in West Hollywood, especially sitting at the chef’s table. From the moment I walked in, everything felt special—the vibe, the energy, and of course, the food. The matcha and bao buns were such a cool surprise—so fluffy and perfectly balanced. The salmon was absolute perfection, like melt-in-your-mouth amazing. And the sushi? Honestly, some of the best I’ve ever had. Every piece was so fresh and beautifully put together, it felt like a little work of art. What made it even better was sitting right at the chef’s table and getting to watch all the care and skill that goes into each dish. You can tell they truly love what they do, and it makes the whole experience feel super personal. If you’re into sushi and looking for something next-level, you’ve got to try this place. It’s not just a meal—it’s the kind of night you’ll be talking about long after it’s over.

We sat at the Chef's Bar. It was cozy and so interesting watching the chef's cook. Jake was our server. He was outstanding. It was our first time at the restaurant, and he guided us beautifully through the menu, including by telling us HIS favorite dishes, which we always appreciate. Service was amazing; we never felt rushed, and our meal was timed perfectly. The food -- gosh, just next level. Even the classics were elevated by care of preparation, extra layers of taste, and beauty of presentation. At some places, these strengths come with a trade-off in smaller portions -- not here; the servings are generous. We started by sharing the beet salad and the onion soup gratin, then the mussels and fries for me and the Big Mec and fries for her; we finished with the triple-chocolate soufflé (chocolate soufflé, chocolate sauce, snd chocolate sorbet). The fries are cooked in clarified butter rather than oil, which makes for a cleaner potato taste. All the food was outstanding. The prices were fair in relation to value. Oh, and an excellent sidecar cocktail to start. And the baguette with a quality of butter that you can't get at the supermarket. Amazing place, wish we'd discovered it sooner, and will now return frequently. Amazing meal and fun evening!!!

Words hardly describe how wonderful this whole experience was: phenomenal wine pairings, impeccable service, attention to detail, exquisite plating, perfectly cooked, creative combinations....just incredible. On a scale of 1 to 10, this place is definitely an 11!!!
