"Very few restaurants in LA have any dress code whatsoever (that’s why Quentin Tarantino gets away with wearing board shorts at Nobu) but 71Above suggests wearing suit jackets or dresses - making it an ideal special-occasion spot. So does the three-course tasting menu, which includes suitably fancy options like champagne-poached oyster with uni and king trumpet mushrooms with truffles. But what you’re really here for are the completely unparalleled views of Los Angeles. If that’s the sort of thing that appeals to you, it’s hard to find anything more romantic than watching the sunset from 71 stories above the city." - brett keating
