Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Lakewood / Bellflower

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!!!!

We celebrated the New Year with a beautiful lunch at the strand house. The elevator was super helpful for my parents to get them up to the third floor. We had an amazing view and a wonderful time. The food was really great and the service was outstanding.

Dropped in for Sunday Dinner and was not disappointed. My wife and I loved everything we ordered: Naan & Dips to start, chili-sichuan basted bass, beef short rib noodles and for dessert the chocolate-honey & passion brownie sundae. Great mix of wonderful ingredients presented beautifully.

Very nice holidays cheering atmosphere and super professional serving team, photogenic setting, delicious food, best choice dinner place for this Christmas season !

The Christmas Brunch experience was overall very good. The two of us changed our table to the outside patio are because the noise level, especially the clanging of dishes that the wait and bus staff were doing was spoiling the ambiance. Glad we did because the patio was much quieter and we then had an exceptional waiter in Felix who was very attentive and brought what we desired. I would go back to Catalina Kitchen just for him. The food was good, a very wide variety, however some of the vegetable dishes did not look very appetizing. Everything else had nice flavor, loved the crab legs.
