LOS ANGELES (CNS) - For the first time in more than 60 years, iconic Hollywood restaurant Musso & Frank Grill officially expanded its dining area today, introduced four private dining rooms with special access entrances.
"For many years, our customers have been asking for specific types of dining experiences, which inspired us to add new space consistent with the `Old Hollywood' experience Musso's has perfected," Musso & Frank COO/CFO Mark
Echeverria, a fourth-generation member of the family of owners, said in a statement. "We are thrilled that now, with these new dining rooms, we are able to accommodate those specific requests."
One of the new rooms can provide an intimate dining experience for six to eight people. While the other three can be linked and converted into a larger reception hall accommodating up to 50 attendees -- with the availability of a red carpet entrance from Hollywood Boulevard.
"The new rooms have an old-school Hollywood feel, as befits a restaurant known as the place where Hollywood deals are made. When you are in our new space, you will feel like it has been there since the beginning," Echeverria said.
Main access to the rooms is through private access at the rear of the restaurant, or through the eastern side of the restaurant's "New Room." The new rooms occupy space that was previously used for retail shops owned by the family-run restaurant.
Reservations in the new dining areas can be made by contacting General Manager Andrea Scuto and Events Coordinator Tara Thomas at events@mussoandfrank.com, or via the restaurant's website at mussoandrank.com/private-dining.
