Had a great time. Had reservations at 7:45 and they sat us down 20 minutes early. Right off the bat the ambiance with the dim light was relaxing. The old fashion cocktail I had was great. We celebrated a birthday and they gave us a birthday card from their own collection, which felt amazing. They didn't have to do that but they wanted us to feel special and right at home. We had the prime rib dinner, which was a homerun on taste, temperature, and buttery soft when cutting into it. Their truffle mac n cheese was amazing and I've had alot of Mac n cheese in my life. My grandma had the soup of the day which was celery and broccoli and she loved it... to the point where she didn't want to share lol. All in all musso and franks was an incredible experience and I will definitely be going back soon to celebrate more birthdays

It was a great experience. If you have a date, I’d come around 5-6 p.m. It’s really calm and quiet, and not many people are there at the time.
