This gem of a Restaurant has the most unique and beautiful salt water aquarium I’ve ever seen. Unique because it’s located on the restaurant’s ceiling. Also the bottom of the aquarium had several domes to give a fish eye view of the beautiful fish. Pausing underneath the aquarium and gazing into the transparent dome of glass, I felt like a fish gazing at my friends under the sea. We ordered whatever our heart’s desired and there happened to be an absolutely lovely jazz trio there to entertain and delight. I felt Blessed beyond Measure

I 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.

Beautiful venue but was very cold when we arrived as the roof was open and it was a cold night. We had to move our table a couple times and they finally closed the roof and gave us blankets and it warmed up. At that point we began to enjoy ourselves and had a wonderful, very tasty meal and great service. Would return.
