Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Neal Fraser

From the OpenTable editors: Head to this stunning spot for elegant New American cuisine laced with Los Angeles influences. Housed in a former cathedral in downtown LA, the restaurant's modern-meets-classic design, complete with an open-air ceiling, makes it a showstopper. Dishes like grilled hamachi collar with ancho chile and California sea bass with spring gazpacho, from acclaimed chef Neal Fraser, make the restaurant standout from the crowd even more.

Truthfully, very disappointing. Been here many times, so have higher expectations. The $215 for a cutdown menu was a joke. Wanted to order their Cheese bread, not available. Seemed short staffed. Felt like a giant XMas Cash grab. I don’t mind paying premium prices as long as the experience is worth it. This was Not! The disappointment was that I know they can & have done better.

Frankly, we expected more from a pre-fixe Christmas Eve dinner. Dinner was more than $200pp, plus an optional wine pairing for another $100 plus. The food was good, but not exceptional, table service okay, and nothing in the ambience to make it festive. The staff was friendly and attentive, but we were disappointed in the overall experience. When charging at this level, for a special occasion, guest expectations are elevated and it felt like Redbird responded with business as usual.

The food was excellent, but the service was awful. We didn't get our drink order until right before our main course hit the table, and I had to ask where our drink order was. The staff said the bar had "an issue with our first order." Ok, that happens, but they didn't do anything to make it right on our end. At the end of the meal, they said they would take off the automatic 20% service fee for a group of our size. Great, so now I get to look like the jerk if I don't tip. I believe they should have taken our drinks off the bill, being it took so long. Oh, and by the way, I still tip 20% because it's the holidays.

Too often in LA restaurants are priced like they are a once or twice-a-year super high-end blowout when they're just a nice or sort-of interesting dining experience. Redbird is where we go when we want to treat ourselves to a truly exquisite evening. Their wine list is incredible, but we often get distracted by the beautiful cocktails. Menu is small and crafted at a super high level by chef Neal Fraser. Beautiful location, though it can be chilly on winter nights. We had to ask to move to a table closer to the heat lamps. Service is impeccable but not too much. We're always wowed and leave feeling special and deeply satisfied. Simply put, Redbird is our favorite fine restaurant in Los Angeles. Happy hour is a great deal here if you want to start small and check the vibe.

Visited Redbird for the first time after many years driving by and seeing all the cars parked out front! Much to my amazement I can now see why… the items we ordered were extremely delicious…. The Avocado Salad is a STAR…. The Grilled Prawns exceptional… the Pork Chop as advertised was also good but wished it was served with classic Collard Greens instead of the Cabbage ( too sweet) ! Our servers were top notch and did an excellent job keeping us happy! Can’t wait to try brunch! Cheers
