"They do prix fixe style 3 course menu here, with many choices for each course. Also offered is a set price wine pairing. I really enjoyed all the dishes I chose as well as the pairings (1 for each course). They do have a full bar available but I only had the paired wines. An amuse-bouche was brought to us ahead of our meal. It was a mushroom and scallion broth in a crockery type shot glass. This was a little salty but delicious. I chose a prawns (no picture) as my first course. It came with 3 lovely prawns and a cabbage puree. For my second I chose a bacon wrapped pork loin (see picture), and lastly the almond cake (see picture). All 3 dishes were fantastic. I went with my wife and son who both also loved the food. Its clear the change the menu options frequently. The 3 course menu was $98 each and the wine pairings $56 each. Bread service is an additional charge but it was delicious. Please note 18% gratuity is automatically added to your check. Our dinner for 3 with wine pairings for two, tax and gratuity all in was $557. I definitely want to come back, but to me this is a venue for a special occasion dinner. They do offer corkage if you want to bring in your own bottle but that is $50! As for seating, we ended up sitting at a booth the faced the kitchen. While this is fascinating this is a 71st floor restaurant so we would have preferred to face the windows. If you are a Hell's Kitchen fan you might dig this table (and you can request it), but you will not see any drama.... just professionalism and attention to detail. We could have waited for a different table but chose to stay put."

"Fantastic view and amazing food. I don't necessarily recommend the wagyu though, because of the upcharge, and while good wasn't 200 dollars good. Everything else my mother and I had at this restaurant was absolutely top notch. For that 5 star experience and view it's pretty affordable as well."

"71 floors above LA. Amazing view, fantastic food, and impeccable service. It is a bit pricey, but the food and views make it totally worthwhile. The place to go for special occasions. Loved our visit and will definitely be back."

"We love coming here to celebrate our anniversary. It's always a pleasure to experience a 3-course meal. The food was delicious and never missed. It is always made with utmost care. The service was wonderful. Our waiter was very patient & courteous. He was also attentive towards our order & drinks. The drinks do hit so watch out *wink *wink. The ambiance is quite exquisite and makes it memorable. It is rare to get lucky to sit by a window seat so don't get discouraged if you don't. The meal is 95 per person for the meal but it also depends on additional charges for drinks & additional foods. However, it is your money's worth enjoying a night with a beautiful view."
