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.

I just had a group of professional women in business dinner for 8 and our experience was outstanding. The restaurant is so beautiful, warm and such a unique space. It was a beautiful night even in December so it was wonderful to be able to experience the open roof. The service was perfect and truly the food, cocktails and wine 10/10. I cannot say enough great things! Redbird’s wow factor and wonderful and consistent service will make it a restaurant I entertain at for years to come!

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

Loved both the space and the food.We had booked the lounge area which turned out to be a bad decision for daytime dining, however the staff were very accommodating and moved us to the main dining room filled with bright daylight and similarly well designed and decorated space. The food was delicious and so was the service. Would definitely recommend this venue.

We are regulars. Food was excellent as always. HOWEVER....We did not like (see below) seeing yet again a very unclassy enforced 5% surcharge added to our bill at the end of our evening. It essentially shames a patron into an additional 5% tip-- since no one in their right mind would ask to have such removed-- as it puts them in a terribly awkward or uncomfortable position by default. Red Bird should simply pay their staff well, raise or adjust their pricing accordingly to reflect such as a cost of doing business, and let the market determine to support them or not. But this is just a terrible hospitality offense that should be eradicated in an otherwise classy and great establishment. "A 5% service charge will be added to each guest check to ensure competitive industry compensation, as well as health and medical benefits, for all of our valued full time team members. In support of this initiative, the entirety of the charge is retained by the company. If you would like this charge removed, please let our staff know. Thank you for dining with us and supporting our staff."
