    Food is excellent as well as plentiful. Service is unrushed but extremely good. Staff very engaging and friendly. My only quibble: Wine corkage is too high for a neighborhood restaurant. I would rather pay more for my food and not be peanalized because I prefer my own wine.

    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.
