Musso & Frank Grill is an institution in Hollywood that goes back to 1919 when it opened.  It has served the film industry and Hollywood residents ever since and is still popular and going strong after all these years. There is a large bar in the main dining room and another food counter along the grill station in the adjoining dining area.
Chef Jean Rue, who holds the longest tenure at Musso’s, created the menu that exists today. I first remember being introduced to him years ago by a longtime Musso customer, Tom Beyrle, who happened to be a regular customer of mine as well, down the road on Vine Street at Au Petit Café.  Chef Rue was with the restaurant from 1922 until 1976. He worked for 53 years and trained John Hellman and Michele Bourger, his successors.
They have items on the menu that harken back to another era including Welch Rarebit, although it is generally good advice to stick to the “grill menu” or signature items that you know to be good.
The Martinis are the best in town and are accompanied by a small beaker cradled in ice holding the refill as they are so large.
