Our best wishes go out to Manny Felix, who retired from Musso and Frank in June, 2011 after 37 years of service.
As a waiter and captain, Manny was a fixture in the Old Room for many years and will be missed by his many regular customers. Over time, Manny entertained his customers with stories and magic tricks at the grill counter. Generations of fans will miss his presence.
Best wishes, Manny!

The legend is gone…but never forgotten. You’ll be missed, Manny.

It was my great pleasure to visit Los Angeles this past April–something I had not done in over 40 years!–and at the top of my list of Things To Do was eating at Musso and Frank’s, which I did on my second day in the city. My happiness was increased a hundredfold when the great Manny stopped by my table and had a little conversation with me! I feel lucky indeed to have had the honor of chatting with Manny–and I wish him a very VERY happy retirement. Great happiness to you, Manny, for giving all of us customers so much joy!
