"Even though it's planted in a relentlessly touristy stretch of Hollywood Boulevard, the place still packs in locals year after year: stepping inside feels like cracking open a time capsule where the lighting is flattering, the spirit of old Hollywood lingers, and you momentarily question whether you can smoke indoors. As you cut into your prime rib, it feels plausible that Marilyn Monroe or Charlie Chaplin might materialize in the booth across from you."
"The rib-eye and prime rib arrive à la carte and warrant accompanying orders of both green peppercorn sauce and a side of creamed spinach. The indoor charcoal grill - grandfathered in before a Los Angeles ordinance banned the use of charcoal indoors - has been burning since 1927 and still gives the steaks their primal flavor. To counter all of the salt and smoke of the meat, go classic with a wedge salad."
Musso & Frank Grill is one of Los Angeles's oldest restaurants and has functioned as Hollywood's unofficial clubhouse since 1919. The dining room combines flattering lighting, an old-Hollywood spirit, and a time-capsule atmosphere that draws both tourists and long-time locals. Steaks, including rib-eye and prime rib served à la carte, are cooked on an indoor charcoal grill grandfathered before an ordinance and retain a primal, smoky flavor. Classic sides include creamed spinach, green peppercorn sauce, wedge salad, stuffed celery with Roquefort mousse, and a seafood chiffonade salad to cut richness. The martini arrives theatrically and is considered mandatory.
