- ZZaraVIPLos Angeles •54 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoPerch LA has been around for a long time. This was the first time we had dinner there. I didn’t know what to expect. It was outstanding. Ambience :  beautiful views of downtown LA. We sat outside , which I I recommend. They have heaters, but you should still wear warm clothes to be comfortable . The inside is dark, old and looks rundown. The inside needs upgrading. We had Chilean Seabass , which was outstanding. We don’t like risotto.(I think that’s what it comes with) so we substituted it with mixed vegetables. Amazing. We also had a great lettuce salad, and truffle cheese fries. Yum Yum. This was plenty of food for two people to share. And, delicious ice cream with coffee. Great service. Thank you .More infoPerch LAPrice: Expensive• French American• Downtown•4.6
- RRosieSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe food was amazing! The quality and flavor of each dish left me satisfied. Highly recommend the Pork Shank, green beans and Nan! The menu and photos on yelp may not represent the current menu. Outdoor seating is great if you’re directly under the lamp with a smaller table. The elevator to the parking structure places you in an alley that connects to the front of the restaurant.More infoGirl & the Goat L.A.Price: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.7
- GGinaLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThis 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!!!!More info71AbovePrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.7
- JjohnVIPLos Angeles •37 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoLos Angeles' Soul Food scene has really diminished over the last 30 years, so it's refreshing to have an authentic, high quality soul food experience. We went on New Year's night and the place was PACKED! Even though we were 45 minutes late for our reservation (Rose Bowl traffic), the hostess worked us in and we were seated about 10 minutes after checking in. Our server was very cheerful and knowledgeable about the menu (as was, we later discovered, the busser). We had the Ox Tails (amazingly tender & flavorful, with a touch of umami - not sure if it was Worcestershire or Soy - that gave them tang), Fried Chicken, Red Beans, Okra, Collard Greens, Yams, Corn Bread and Peach Cobbler. The chicken was crispy, yet the breast was still moist, and the red beans were classic. The okra was charred excellently (I usually don't like okra) and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Collards and Yams were authentic southern style. The cobbler was a little syrupy, but tasted great. BUT IT'S THE SERVICE THAT MADE EVERYTHING STAND OUT - from the greeters to the bussers, the staff was amazing, which made the experience all the better.More infoFixins Soul KitchenPrice: Moderate• Soul food• Downtown•4.7

We had Mediterranean Bowls and sides of awesome garlic bread together with a small apple tart.More infoJOEY DTLAPrice: Expensive• American• Downtown•4.5
