71Above Restaurant & Skylounge

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Dining Above the City

At 71 floors above street level, 71Above Restaurant & Skylounge occupies one of the most dramatic dining perches in Los Angeles. The address — 633 W. Fifth St. in downtown LA — places it at the heart of the city, yet the experience feels entirely removed from it, with panoramic views stretching across the basin in every direction.

American Cuisine, Elevated

The restaurant's focus is contemporary American cuisine, shaped by the ingredients and influences that define California's food culture. The format is dinner service, allowing the kitchen to give full attention to each sitting as the city lights shift below.

A Wine Program Worth the Recognition

Wine Spectator awarded 71Above its Best of Award of Excellence, a distinction that speaks to the depth and curation of the wine list. For a restaurant committed to American cuisine at this level, a wine program strong enough to earn that recognition is a meaningful part of the overall experience — not an afterthought.

The Setting

The skylounge element means 71Above functions as both a serious dining destination and a place where the atmosphere itself is part of what's on offer. Few restaurants in Los Angeles can claim a room quite like this one, where the city becomes the backdrop and the view is as considered as anything on the plate.
