About 71Above

71Above is a modern American restaurant, bar, and lounge on the 71st floor at 633 W 5th St in Los Angeles, reached by passing through two separate elevators with check-in stops along the way. The kitchen runs a fixed three-course dinner menu with a small list of choices per course, alongside a broader menu of 13 dishes that includes the Grilled Octopus. Bread service is brought to the table before the meal, and window tables offer panoramic city views. The wine list includes selections by the half bottle, with a sommelier on staff. Reservations can be made through OpenTable and are recommended, particularly for window seating, and a wait is common even with a booking. A private dining room is available for groups, and valet parking serves those driving in. The entrance is step-free for visitors with mobility needs. It opens daily, evenings only.

Customer Review Summary

Diners consistently center their praise on the panoramic city views from the 71st floor, paired with the fixed three course dinner menu, and most describe the A5 wagyu or ribeye steak as a highlight, calling it "buttery perfection" or simply unforgettable. The grilled octopus and short rib pasta come up repeatedly as favorites, alongside praise for the bread service and a wine list several call comparable to Michelin-level programs. Service draws frequent mention too, with servers described as attentive and knowledgeable, and multiple reviewers note being moved to window tables without asking. Complaints recur on a smaller scale: one diner found the octopus tough and the ribeye ordinary, another says crumbs went uncleared and utensils arrived late, and desserts were called overpowered by a sour lime component in two accounts. One reviewer reports a Mother's Day visit with hard-to-chew pork and steak, an unfresh fish, small portions, and an unexplained 18 percent service fee added to the bill, calling the meal not worth the cost. A few also mention the dining room running warm. Several reviewers still note they were seated by request or moved to a window table mid-meal without asking.

    “We celebrated my birthday at 71Above, and it was such a special experience. The view was absolutely stunning, and the food was just as impressive. Everything felt elevated and memorable—perfect for a celebration. A special thank you to …”

    “Took my husband for his Birthday dinner here. To say, Carl B was outstanding! His level of hospitality and attention was above and beyond. He explained in great detail about the 3 course meal and what pairs great with it. We loved every second of it. The food was delicious, the bread and butter was so good. We definitely recommend. Make reservations, we gor window seats and the view was magnificent.”
  • Christoph
    “We visited this restaurant because it is included in the Amex Platinum Dining Statement program and we were blown away by food, wine, service and views. We were seated on a semi-private window table. The service was quick, friendly and proactive. The food was delicious and presented brautfully. The real standout however was the wine list, which could rival many Michelin starred restaurant. We found many options off the beaten track (many by the half bottle) like a wonderful 2000 Chateau Musar which is very difficult to find and was absolutely singing at the moment and was also really well priced! The wine pairings for the desserts were also a beautiful match and the staff was very knowledgeable. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend anyone visiting LA to stop by!”

    “The entire experience was a 10 out of 10. I recently went here for my birthday and let me tell you food is an art and the chef was an artist who takes their craft seriously. Every dish had amazing flavor and had me truly appreciating the perfect flavor components. I got the raw oysters as a side order that had a perfectly balanced brine of ocean and savory taste that takes your taste buds on an amazing ride containing Fresno Chili Escabeche Mignonette, Tomato Granita, Cilantro, Black Lime. I then had a nice amuse bouche compliments of the chef. For my first course i got the grilled octopus that far exceeded my already high expectations which is always a plus because sometimes the opposite can happen when you expect too much but it was more than i imagined containing Smoked Chimichurri, Sunflower Seed Dukkah, Lemon, Sweet Peppers, and Squash. It had the perfect crisp and and tenderness to it that lets you know it was cooked to perfection with vegetables so perfectly balanced, flavorful, and aromatic. For my second course I had the a5 waygu strip sirloin and when you hear someone say its the best steak you will ever have its no exaggeration. It was buttery perfection that melts in your mouth leaving you want to savor every taste with a sauce,garlic, and vegetable filled garnish that was worth every cent. For dessert I had strawberries and cream which includes Chiffon Cake, Crème Fraîche, Raspberry, Sesame Crumble, Vanilla-Rose Ice Cream , Citrus Po with very ripe and flavorful berries and I left feeling extremely satisfied and full. Something you should experience at least once and you'll definitely want to come back for more”

    “This is the fanciest restaurant I’ve ever dined at, located on the 71‑floor of the U.S. Bank Tower. There are no à‑la‑carte options, only set‑course meals. It’s fairly pricey, yet the food tastes really good. The oysters are small, but the toppings bring out distinct layers of flavor. The views are spectacular and put you in a great mood.”
