71Above — modern American cooking at 950 feet
Altitude is easy; cooking well at altitude is not. 71Above, set on the 71st floor of the US Bank Tower in DTLA, is the highest restaurant in the city — nearly a thousand feet above the sidewalks — and it backs the panorama with a disciplined, seasonal modern American kitchen rather than coasting on the view alone.
The concept
Dinner is structured as a three-course prix fixe under Executive Chef Javier Lopez: coastal seafood, prime cuts and Californian produce plated with fine-dining precision. The wine program is deep enough to earn national attention, the cocktail list takes itself seriously, and the AAA Four Diamond service model means the pacing is as considered as the plates.
What to order
Let the prix fixe lead: begin with a raw or seafood course while the light is still golden, take the fish or dry-aged beef as your main, and time dessert for full darkness, when the grid below turns electric. Ask the sommelier team to pair by course — the cellar is one of the restaurant’s quiet strengths — or start with a cocktail in the adjacent sky lounge before moving to the table.
The space
Floor-to-ceiling glass wraps the entire floor, delivering true 360-degree views: the Pacific and Catalina on clear days, the San Gabriel Mountains, the Hollywood sign and an infinite carpet of city lights after dark. The dining room steps down toward the windows so every table gets the horizon; the low-lit, leather-and-walnut interior keeps the drama pointed outward.
Who it’s for
Engagements, milestone birthdays and closing-the-deal dinners; visitors who want Los Angeles explained in one look; and diners who treat a sunset reservation as a form of theater ticket.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a dress code? Smart casual enforced — collared shirts welcome; athletic wear, shorts, flip-flops and hats are turned away.
When should I book for sunset? Reserve for roughly forty minutes before sundown; you get daylight, golden hour and the city lighting up across one dinner.
How does the menu work? A three-course prix fixe with choices per course; supplements and wine pairings are offered on top.
Can I come just for drinks? The sky lounge serves cocktails with the same view — a good option when the dining room is fully committed.
Which side has the best view? All of them — the room rings the tower. West faces the ocean sunset; north catches the Hollywood sign and mountains.

Brought my husband here for a birthday dinner. I have to say Carl B was unbeatable! His level of hospitality and attentiveness was simply unbeatable. He explained the three-course dinner in great detail and what pairs wo…
A wonderful restaurant on top of the Bank of America building in downtown Los Angeles. It's very refined and chic. You need to book a table in advance. They're very communicative, confirming the day and time of the reser…
This was my first visit to this place.
The atmosphere is incredible, especially the view of Los Angeles from such a height. The food had something special; the proteins (chicken and pork) were less tasty than the vegetab…
The only good thing here is the view of Los Angeles.
The food is awful. They served octopus, and it was completely burnt.
I don't recommend having dinner or lunch there.
The restaurant is of decent quality, but it's hard to call it truly iconic. There's definitely room for improvement in terms of service: the crumbs weren't cleared from the table, the dishes came late, and the food arriv…
