Chef’s Table Dinner Featuring 71 Above at Bear and Star, Jan 16 @ 6:30 & 7:30pm

The Bear and Star will be welcoming Los Angeles acclaimed 71 Above for Chef’s Table Dinner for a collaborative six-course tasting menu staged in the Chef’s Room. If we haven’t bragged about our amazing dinner we had when they first opened last year, let us do it one more time. The food here is uh-mazing and should not be missed!

Bonus: Chef Abgaryan, a native Angeleno, was formally trained at Le Cordon Bleu, mentoring at the iconic André Soltner restaurant, Lutèce and debuted the new, world-class dining destination on the 71st floor of the US Bank Tower in 2015. So basically, you’ll be dining on creations from a kitchen genius.

Cost: $79 per guest with an optional $50 wine pairing.
