Be the first to ReplyA Memory in the Experience.
This is a beautiful experience from the personal staff and the view of the city to start with. The three course options were all excellent. You will make a special memory with this experience.
Be the first to Replythere are better restaurants with views
I was upset... I attended dinner with my sister and her husband for my sister birthday and I was surprised at how rude the bartender with the bird nose was to my sister and her husband. They were trying to take photos and the bartended kept intentionally getting in her photos. Not only that, she was laughing and telling her co worker that she was doing it on purpose!! - HOW RUDE!? Why would you try to sabotage someone's experience at a restaurant with a view? How unprofessional.. why do you work there ? We were gifted with a photo we received at dinner and left it behind by mistake, I called that night and they don't answer their phones, you have to email them. I called and emailed the next day and was told they did not have my art work. So they tossed it out? they didn't even give me a chance to come back and get my gift. So, what is the policy on lost and found because we never took it from the restaurant. I was very disappointed in the food taste as well.. $100 pre course meal but I think they could have made more flavorful entrees for the money.. you basically pay for the view but the workers like the try and ruin that for you.. so be mindful when booking here.. my server was great. guy from Boston (i think) but we he never came back to our table at the end of the night. never dismissed himself so we didn't say bye.. idk i expected more.
Be the first to ReplyNot worth it
The only redeeming attribute of this place is the view. The rest is a disaster. Superficial staff (Did not care about that I was not happy with my meal) and the food was simply so poor that a regular McDonalds burger would be much preferred. The price level is atrocious and they even automatically add a 28% "service charge" before tax to the bill and the payment system then asks for an additional tip. Very sad, as the location is great and they turned it into a tourist trap, probably with severely underpaid staff.
Be the first to ReplyExperience not to be had
There were three of us for New Year's Eve dinner, the view was breathtaking, the octopus was frozen and reheated so it felt like eating the sole of leather shoes, the salmon went to whoever saw it, priced at 250 dollars for three 750 they put mandatory tips and taxes, which is not noted in the reservation, total 989 dollars for not eating anything
Be the first to ReplyNice place with view, poor management and treatment (biased/racial)
The restaurant has so much to offer being on the 71st floor but it is being mismanaged or not being used to its full potential. 1. Reservation must have a selection of seats so there is no guess that someone going there for a city view experience will be disappointed. 2. The restaurant can charge an additional surcharge for window seats and solve the issue but unfortunately, this is left to the managers' and ushers' mercy. 3. Food is okay/unique not value for money but it is for the view you go there not so much for the food experience. 4. Wait staff are good but not very courteous or have an interest in being extra elegant because the 18% gratuity is already billed and so get their tip anyway so they have that care not attitude. 5. While entering the building or restaurant good help or people are leading you up to the table, once you finish dinner they don't care and don't even show customers how to go down to the lobby (the elevator panel is weird). NOW MY EXPERIENCE: Reserved a table for 4 and when I got there they gave me middle-row seating, there was another family that was sitting at the window but left just after we sat down. I requested the waitress to shift me to the window table but she said sorry our manager is not allowing it. We continued our dinner and another family was given the table and the family next to us left before us then I noticed that there were two gentlemen already sitting at another table but were moved to that table which I asked for. This was very humiliating for me and went up to the manager and told him that this was unfair treatment he was adamant that it was based on a first come first serve basis but the guys already sat at another table like us but were moved to that table, the manager did not have a good reason and kept blabbering. I told him that it was still UNFAIR and left the place. My recommendation is there are other elegant places better service and experience.
Be the first to ReplySneaky management
We ordered a couple of appetizers and a glass of wine… the bartender showed us a bottle of wine never mentioned that the wine we had ordered they didn’t have and he chose to give us another wine that was 10X more expensive and never mentioned it… at the end we were stuck with $130.00 for two glasses of wine. We explained the situation but didn’t help. Won’t go back again
Be the first to ReplyGreat sunset and margarita
The menu at the restaurant has 3 dishes and it was definitely not for my 8 years old son: they were so kind to allow us just one dish so we could enjoy sunset and have a fantastic margarita but we were not obliged to do a full menu (I would have done it if we were only adults!€
Be the first to ReplyGood for a special occasion.
The first thing you notice is that you must take two elevators to get to the restaurant. While the view may be nice, if it is even a bit misty you essentially see clouds. But, while they advertise the view, the food and ambiance are why you really are here. Service was perfect, very attentive, and they let us sit and talk after dinner without ever rushing us. We both enjoyed each of the courses a lot, surprisingly so. While the prices are not exactly cheap, some of the "extras" (like $7 for bread and $6 if you want a cheese platter) seemed silly. Come on, how much can bread cost? Our observation is that this is a place for a nice date and special occasions (there were at least two wedding proposals in the few hours we were there). The only downside, aside from $7 for bread, is that, as the night wore on, the music got louder, sometimes making talking a bit challenging. Otherwise, a great place.
Be the first to ReplySo worth it! High-quality, well-balanced dishes with a great view
Excellent excellent quality. The chefs know what they’re doing. Each dish was complex yet well-balanced in flavor with great presentation. Both service and atmosphere were wonderful as well. Would definitely take friends and family here. The building interior is beautiful. Came here on a Thursday in mid June and was able to find street parking. Heard parking behind the building was $10. And valet is $15. $95 a person for a three-course meal. Window seating is walk-in only. Some people waited at the bar for an hour for a spot to open up.

Be the first to ReplyUpscale restaurant with excellent views and a pre-fixe menu
Pre-fixe menu with sky high views of LA. Came here for dinner with my family and made reservations beforehand online. There’s parking available behind the building for 2 hours for $10, after which it’s $15. Otherwise you can try your luck with metered street parking. You have to check in at the hostess stand in the lobby, and then take two elevators up to the 54th, and then 71st floor. The service was impeccable and our waiter was super nice and on top of everything. I appreciated how he pointed out what was an additional cost (ie bread service, caviar service, etc) both during the spiel as well as on the menu. Credit cards accepted. They bring the card reader to your table. Restrooms are available immediately after passing the hostess stand. The amusebouche of mushroom soup was umami and so warming. We had a pleasant surprise where we received champagne since it was Christmas. For the food, these were our thoughts: Appetizers Octopus: This was my sister and my dad’s favorite thing. It was very filling and well cooked. The sauce was also very tasty. Crudo: Make sure you eat this with a spoon so you can get a bite of the passion fruit broth with the fish. It was very bright and a lighter option. I liked this a lot. Handkerchief Pasta: a very savory, also umami vegetarian option. My mom really liked this. Entrees Ribeye: The steak was chewy (ordered medium rare) so that’s unfortunate. Cod: On the smaller side but I liked the lemon-butter sauce. The skin was crispy and the fish came on top of mashed potatoes. Pork chop: on the saltier side, but still enjoyable. Desserts: Chocolate Cremeaux: note that this does have peanut butter (dehydrated). It came with a side of ice cream and isn’t as rich as you might think a chocolate dessert would be. Sticky toffee pudding: it was decent, but very much so on the saltier side. The crunchy bits were a nice touch and there was an appropriate amount of touch. Cheese board: it came with 3 different types of cheeses, marcona almonds, and crackers. There weren’t enough crackers but there was also some honeycomb to accompany the cheese which was nice.
Be the first to ReplyMediocre At Best! Waste of Time!
Don't waste your time or money here! I don't normally leave bad reviews but this one I had to because tonight was an absolute disappointment. Food is mediocre at best and management lacks customer service skills . The only thing this restaurant has going for itself is the view and I would say what a waste of a view when the rest of the experience is horrible! My husband made reservations weeks ago asking for a view , we get there and we are seated in front of the kitchen service door instead. When we asked to wait for another table with a view we were told it would take 2 hours by a snarky rude blond manager who came charging at us with an attitude that screamed how dare we question why we are being seated there. I asked for her manager, Nelson comes to save the day only to make matters worse because he lies and tells us the tables with a view are for larger parties for 4 or more. 15 minutes after we are seated the couple who checked in after us are seated at the table Nelson tells us we are too small of a party for. How backwards is this place! When we asked Nelson to explain he had nothing but excuses that made no sense. Long story short... view or no view this place is a waste of your time! We had the wagu and the ribeye both mediocre . The only thing that tastes good was the Cavier and that comes pre packaged, they can't mess it up. What a disappointment, I really wish we had spent our night somewhere else. Let's see if executive management actually reads this and cares enough to call me or respond.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent Service / outstanding dinner
Excellent service and an outstanding menu with spectacular view. Many thanks to the chef de cuisine and the whole team in the kitchen. They cook excellently and prepare the food very appealing to the eye as well. We highly recommend the 71Above!!
Be the first to ReplyYou definitely pay for the view
Almost $300 total for two people, no alcohol and one mocktail each. This is without the $10 parking fee on top. So yes, the view is great, and the food is quite good. But taking into account the set menu price, added service charge and tip, this adds up to too much.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent way to celebrate an Anniversary
Awesome view, great ambiance, our waiter, Mateo, was top notch, food was delicious, and the different piped-in music added nicely to the evening. Definitely made our anniversary a step "above." Dining at the tallest restaurant in LA is cool. Even though the Wilshire Grand Center is considered DTLA's tallest building - it is only because of their pole that they can claim that - the US Bank Tower is STILL the tallest storied building on town - NO better view!! They may want to consider allowing, even if charging, for a window seat. The only caveat is that you can't reserve a window seat, so if that's important (and, for the location and required 3-course meal price, I believe it's tantamount). But Staff worked to get us a window seat with a short wait (and we were very willing to wait); as it was our anniversary, we would have been very disappointed if we hadn't been next to a window. So glad we were!! Valet parking is right out front at $15, reasonable for DTLA. Definitely a great place to go for date night or a special occasion.
Be the first to ReplyDo not eat here if you have Celiac Disease
Don’t eat here if you have food allergies or Celiac Disease. My son took me here for Mother’s Day. I told the waiter I have Celiac Disease and can’t have gluten. I was assured that what I ordered was gluten free, but soon found myself violently ill. I told the managers and they did nothing but offer to call a paramedic. They didn’t offer to refund my son for my meal that I couldn’t eat because I was so sick. Even another staff member said that what I ordered was not gluten free. Very disappointed. Will not return.
Be the first to ReplyMoney well spent
My wife and I came here on a date night and we were blown away. The view is amazing and it helps that the windows in the restaurant were clean so you could actually enjoy it. My wife and I had the 3 course tasting menu but we ordered an extra side so it was 3.5 courses each.
The food was really good. My most memorable bite was the Octopus, which I highly recommend. I was also impressed with the wine list (not the most extensive I've ever seen, but I really like Riesling and they had a bottle I coveted).
The service was absolutely on point. At every stage we were greeted and felt welcomed. I walked to the bathroom and passed it, and someone personally walked me to it to be sure I has located it (instead of just verbally telling me). They staff was attentive without being overbearing.
Truly money well spent, and I can't wait to do it again.
Not professional and rude
Not professional. No communication at all about the dress code, I booked over the phone on Saturday 1/8 for a table at 9:45 pm , was not told they have a dress code and they dont allow shorts for women. was not told to check their website for dress code requirements, didn’t received a confirmation email since I booked over the phone and they didnt even ask for my email. When I arrived, they tried to deny me entry and said its our policy and its on the confirmation email, which I didnt even get! I had to wait, explain its not my fault that they didn’t notify me, ask them to get the manager who finally allowed us in as if he did us a huge favor rather than apologizing for the miscommunication.
His answer was its our policy and its on our website, after he realized i didn’t receive any email.
If they care so much about the dress code they should teach the staff to communicate it instead of embarrassing people in-front of their guests!
i had no idea that after each reservation i make , i should go check the restaurant’s website.
And the manager really didnt even care to apologize , or to even acknowledge that its their mistake and they should teach the staff to communicate better , or simply stop accepting over the phone reservations and switch to online only that way you automatically get the confirmation email and get all the info you need.
Great Views, Great Service, Okay Food
I wanted to like 71Above (it was on Jonathan Gold's 101 list), but the food is average-solid. So I'd recommend it for drinks and/or the phenomenal view. Great for out-of-towners and at least once for those who live in Southern California. If there is a next time, I'll make reservations 30 min before sunset, since your reservation is good for 90 minutes. It's $7 for an optional bread service which was okay. Great & friendly front-of-house service, but seriously, the food was just average. Oh, and plug your ears on the ride up to avoid poppage.
Be the first to ReplyOutstanding Experience
Exceptional evening with fantastic food, views and service. So rarely does one find a restaurant that has it all, and 71 Above scores in all categories. The views are exceptional (especially at sunset) and the food and service were fabulous. The restaurant serves a pris fixe menu with the option to add an additional course if desired. To start we chose a variety of first courses and all were delicious, but the pasta with wild mushrooms was my favorite, closely followed by the octopus, which was tender and flavorful. For my main course I decided to upgrade to the waygu beef, which was truly the best I have ever tasted and has spoilt me forever. Other options were the pork that was cooked to perfection and the salmon that was also delicious. Desserts were all out of this world, as were the creative cocktails that we enjoyed prior to the meal. Footloose Cabernet was new to me and paired well with both the pasta and beef. Overall it was a fabulous experience and I can’t wait to try it again the next time we are in LA.
Be the first to ReplyOne of the best in Los Angeles
71Above is one of the best restaurants which I have visited. The ambient is comfortable with the right amount of energy. I had dinner there on a Saturday night. The whole team looked professional and concentrated. It was obvious that the chef tried to be creative. Unfortunately, the food still lacked a WOW factor. I was going to give them only 4 stars because the food was just above average. The manager Gabriel Delgado was very friendly. Our server Brian was very attentive. I gave the 5th star to the staffs.
Be the first to ReplyThe View is the best part
The host was amazing when we entered and left but found she was the only friendly person. The food was okay but nothing better than a high end chain. The firework package for 125.00 each is not worth it. The waiter just went through the motions like a robot. We had to wait at the bar area for a while even though we had reservations. We through this place would really be all that but it was a let down.
Be the first to ReplyMeals as impressive as the views!
I thought we were largely going (and paying) for the views, but the food was just as impressive. We only knew we were at the right place by the street address and building height, as the entry was unassuming. The restaurant requires two elevator rides, and you’re instantly transported when the doors open. Go before sunset--we enjoyed cocktails (with really kind and funny waitstaff) and sunset views in the bustling club-like bar area while waiting for our window seating (the wait was just long enough to finish our drinks). The walk to our table (it’s a full-circle restaurant) delivered remarkable views from every vantage point.
Once seated, it felt like we were the only ones in the place—we weren’t aware of any other diners, and it felt like the staff was catering only to us. They were super attentive and friendly but not the slightest bit intrusive or overbearing. Really knowledgeable about the sights, food and wine (highly recommend the wine pairing—delicious and informative and really heightened the meal experience). All the food was exquisite, from the complimentary amuse bouche (they brought us a second round between courses, as we mentioned how much we’d enjoyed it!) to the decadent desserts (we had two *plus* the cheese tray—couldn’t resist!). Notably, the grilled octopus was impossibly tender and caramelized, and the wagyu short ribs couldn’t have been more flavorful or more perfectly cooked. The chilled Meyer lemon dessert and fluffy Madagascar chocolate dessert were both incredible. Even the bread service was yummy!
A worthy splurge for sure.
PAID FOR VIEW ONLY
spent 200 dollars on 3 course meal and didnt even get full i had to go to mcdonalds after. the fire alarm went off for about 10 minutes and it was just horrible service I persoanlly think you should not have dinner here unless you only go for the view
