Why this room is hard

It is not an OpenTable problem. It is a prime-time problem.

Musso & Frank Grill has run on Hollywood Boulevard since 1919 and remains the city's oldest restaurant. The red leather booths, the martini program, and the menu (flannel cakes, chicken pot pie, the steaks) have not changed materially in a century.

OpenTable lists the room. Weekday lunches and prime weekend dinners clear first; the bar takes walk-ins for the full menu and is the practical door for a single seat. The room runs heavy with industry traffic.

Since 1919. One martini. Red leather.

What to expect

Five steps, start to seated.

01

You ask.

Tell us the night, the time window, the party size. Two minutes on this page. Card on file, not charged.

02

We confirm the request.

An operator reviews the request, checks the room, and sends a confirmation that we are working it. Usually within thirty minutes.

03

We work the room.

We reach the floor manager directly, by phone or by text, depending on the night. We do not refresh Resy. We make a call.

04

You are confirmed.

We charge the card and send your confirmation — the time and the name to give the host.

05

You eat.

Walk into Musso & Frank Grill, give your name at the host stand, sit down. The room takes it from there. We do not see you again until the next request.
