    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.

    I hosted my 40th birthday at the Sunset Tower Bar, and it was flawless. Stunning sunset views, oysters, champagne, truffle fries, and a perfectly cooked steak—every detail was spot on. The vibe was chic, the service seamless, and the night unforgettable. Can’t wait to go back!
