As the oldest restaurant in Hollywood Musso and Frank Grill has seen it all, and so have the waiters.  Indeed Musso and frank is like the restaurant time forgot.  Many of the waiters and bartenders have worked there for decades and have thus perfected their art of service.

 Musso and Frank reminds me a lot of Burbank’s The Smoke House but with even more class, and better food.  The prime-rib is quite delicious, but it will set you back more than 30 simoleons, so I prefer the liquid dinner.

When drinking at a bar that hasn’t changed in 60 years like this, it is best to order classic old style drinks, like a martini or a greyhound.  As you can see in the picture of Luis above (working at Musso & Frank since 1956) they do the old trick of keeping half your martini in a carafe while you drink the other half.  This helps keeps the drink cool and makes it twice as delicious.

If you are looking for a quiet drink with an old Hollywood feel, the bar at Musso and Frank Grill is exactly what the doctor ordered.  Sidle up to the bar and let Ruben serve you the same drink he has poured in that exact spot since 1967.
