- QQueenaLos Angeles •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOverall great experience. It was a bit confusing that day to find valet since they changed it that day due to construction. So we ended up parking in the self parking which was $18. You go through two elevators to reach the restaurant which is on the 71st floor. We had a reservation so we were seated promptly. Jordan gave us some knowledge about wines and some interesting info about older ones. While we were waiting, they gave us a complimentary dish to taste. It was a three course prix fixed menu to choose from. First course, I got the Crudo, but I think two pieces of my fish dish went a little sour/fishy cause it tasted off. However the rest of the pieces was delicious. The ribeye was delicious. And dessert did feel like another whole meal. Our server moved us to window once a table was empty during dessert for the birthday boy. Shout out to Jasmin. Overall on the pricey side since we got a bottle, but loved the views, atmosphere, and food.More info71AbovePrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.7

- IIranVIPLos Angeles •9 reviews5.0Dined on 22 Jan 2025Lady Bird Cafe has now become MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN LA!! What a hidden gem! The staff was attentive and caring and even had a lovely gesture when they learned I was an Eaton Fire evacuee. The place is so gorgeous (went for lunch but can only imagine how romantic it is at night)! Food was delicious and portions very generous. It is a taste of heaven in an idyllic setting. Five stars all the way through!!! 🙏🏻More infoLady Byrd CafePrice: Moderate• Café• Echo Park•3.6
