    Sample Menu:

    *We can accommodate any dietary restrictions with a 72 hour notice.

    I was born and raised in Los Angeles, a city that is filled with different cultures and diversity. As a young child, my father exposed me to the gastronomy of LA--Middle Eastern, Mexican and Thai foods. I began cooking at 10 and got my first restaurant job at 17 working at the Jonathan Club under Chef Josh Gil. That’s where my creativity started to take shape.

    I stay motivated by my family’s humble beginnings in Nicaragua and aspire to motivate my kitchen staff.

    Location: 71Above

    In the heart of downtown Los Angeles and almost 1,000 feet above ground level, 71Above is the highest restaurant west of the Mississippi. Executive Chef Javier Lopez prepares elevated seasonal modern American cuisine coupled with spectacular 360º views. From Malibu to Laguna Hills and the surrounding mountain ranges, guests can enjoy an uninterrupted panorama in an upscale, romantic atmosphere.

    In addition to the magnificent views, 71Above offers a variety of dining experiences. Guests may choose to dine within the buzz of the bar, our relaxed bistro-style SkyLounge, or the lively main dining room. We also offer an interactive chef’s table experience facing our open kitchen, edge tables positioned looking out over West Los Angeles, and quieter, semi-private dining areas.

    For special events and fully secluded dining, 71Above offers one large and two small private dining rooms overlooking Dodger Stadium.

    633 W 5TH STREET, 71ST FLOOR, LOS ANGELES
