I celebrated my 55th birthday at Musso and Franks'. The best steak dinner I've had in years! The au gratin potatoes and creamed spinach were fantastic pairings. I also did not have to explain what a "Rusty Nail" was to their mixologist behind the bar. Fantastic dinning experience and we will be going back.
