The portions are rich taste and in aesthetic value, bountiful and captivating in flavor and presentation, and are a good size and not disappointing like other high-end restaurants where you're served foam on half a pea and a grape stem on the left of the plate only to be charged $400 for "the chef's vision" (boo) that in reality are neither aesthetically pleasing nor does it stimulate any part of the palate in any memorable way. Yes, restaurant on Melrose, you know who you are and the others, too. 71Above is NOT that kind of place and is, indeed, a beautiful and fulfilling dining experience. Have dined there many times and is our go-to.
71Above is one of the only restaurants that serves *actual* and true A5 Wagyu prepared by truly professional chefs that understand the care and attention-to-detail this cut merits.
Also home of the best Old-fashioned (called The Downtown here).
This is a MUST experience. Make reservations in advance. Local or tourist, it is simply 'cannot miss'. New York has Le Bernadine, LA has 71Above. Best in LA.
The dessert was awful as well , basically you pay for the view and nothing else , however they do not guarantee the window seats either , we booked a window seat and they didn’t provided it to us , first and last time for me to go there ! If you listen to me , don’t waste your money 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 put more effort in to the entree's. 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.
An amuse-bouche was brought to us ahead of our meal. It was a mushroom and scallion broth in a crockery type shot glass. This was a little salty but delicious.
I chose a prawns (no picture) as my first course. It came with 3 lovely prawns and a cabbage puree. For my second I chose a bacon wrapped pork loin (see picture), and lastly the almond cake (see picture). All 3 dishes were fantastic. I went with my wife and son who both also loved the food. Its clear the change the menu options frequently. The 3 course menu was $98 each and the wine pairings $56 each.
Bread service is an additional charge but it was delicious.
Please note 18% gratuity is automatically added to your check.
Our dinner for 3 with wine pairings for two, tax and gratuity all in was $557.
I definitely want to come back, but to me this is a venue for a special occasion dinner.
They do offer corkage if you want to bring in your own bottle but that is $50!
As for seating, we ended up sitting at a booth the faced the kitchen. While this is fascinating this is a 71st floor restaurant so we would have preferred to face the windows. If you are a Hell's Kitchen fan you might dig this table (and you can request it), but you will not see any drama.... just professionalism and attention to detail. We could have waited for a different table but chose to stay put.
