Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Los Angeles / Orange County

The food quality is consistent and outstanding. We have been to bestia multiple times and I am impressed at how they maintain the same standard and consistency. We had the Caesar salad, mussels and spinach tagliatelle. All three dishes were made to perfection. Would highly recommend their fuyu permisson ricotta tart dessert- not too sweet and to me the perfect end to an outstanding meal. My only quibble is that their prices have gone up substantially which makes this a place for only very special occasions.

What can’t you say about this place!!! We had great service from Darren and Wilson, they were constantly checking on us, which was pretty hard, considering it was very busy for a Thursday night, but they prevailed. The food was Top Notch!! We went back for Japanese A5 wagyu, at least 4-6 times just for that particular cut of meat. Considering this was our first time, they had more than enough on their $99 menu to highly satisfy us. Thank you Niku X, particularly Darren and Wilson, we had the greatest experience!!! We will definitely be coming back!!!!

Amazing food. Fun atmosphere. Happy staff. Highly recommend.

This dining experience at 71Above was excellent, the three course meal was incredible, from my first course the farm salad, to my second course the ribeye steak and lastly my third course the mango rice pudding. The food was amazing, the view of overlooking downtown LA from the 71st floor just added to the ambiance; as well as our amazing waiter making it an overall excellent experience. I highly recommend 71Above!!!!

Very friendly service, interesting and very good designed inventory, terrific view!
