About 71 Above

The highest restaurant west of the Mississippi — and the food to match.

71 Above opened in 2015 on the 71st floor of US Bank Tower, 633 W 5th Street in Downtown Los Angeles. At 950 feet above street level it holds the distinction of being the highest restaurant west of the Mississippi River. The building itself — designed by I. M. Pei and completed in 1989 — stands 1,018 feet (310 m) tall and remains the tallest structure in Los Angeles.

Chef Javier Lopez oversees a New American kitchen that Timeout Los Angeles describes as serving "conservative" cuisine at a "fine-dining level" with "impeccable" service. The $103 per-person prix-fixe dinner has held the format since the restaurant's founding. The a la carte lunch program (Tuesday through Thursday) makes 71 Above accessible at a lower commitment than dinner.

With 8,000 square feet of event space, three private dining rooms, and two chef's table booths, 71 Above has established itself as a go-to venue for proposals, milestone dinners, and corporate events in Los Angeles. Valet and self-parking in the building, and Pershing Square Metro station (Purple and Red lines) is a short walk away.
