71Above is second to none. The greatest view in Los Angeles, the most professionally-prepared and exquisite-tasting food in Los Angeles (year-round, menu changes slightly every season if the year), and the only thing better than the food is the service by a warm, professional, knowledgeable, and attentive staff.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 management here is terribly rude. Not worth your money. There are so many better places in Los Angeles. People are not treated equally here - I bet a lot of their positive reviews are given by people who were the recipients of preferential treatment.

Perfect place . We had an anniversary and I really wanted a table by the window, before coming, my husband found out on the phone whether this could be done, he was told yes, when we arrived we were not seated by the window. My husband tried to negotiate with the waiter to move us, at first the waitress said yes it could be done, then she said no, and I had already resigned myself to the fact that it would be as it was, but in the end the manager politely approached us and they moved us. I am very pleased with this place, food and service. All the staff are very nice.

Food was horrible!! they put gravy on steak !!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 !!

I was upset... I had dinner my sister and her husband for my sisters birthday and I was surprised at how rude the girl bartender was. 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 ? it was clear there was an issue because someone else had to come make their drinks...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.

The view is amazing! This is the best view in Los Angeles! This place is worth it just for the view alone! We went for a birthday celebration and the service was great! The food was good, not great in my opinion. But you don’t really come here for the food. I ordered the crudo, ribeye, and mouse. They were all okay. My wife ordered the octopus appetizer which was better than mine! Her pork loin was okay. And she loved her shaved ice dessert. I would definitely recommend this place!

Amazing three course dinner with a view to match. Get dressed up and enjoy a few hours looking out at the city.
