    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.

    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!!!!
