    The food was good but knife provided with pork chops was not cutting the meat when ask for a sharp stake knife they said they don’t have it! Waiters are constantly coming to table and pushing to pour the vine from expensive bottle that was ordered to finish the bottle and keep asking “do you need more vines” also feeling like they want you to finish the food and empty the table for next customer, not a relaxing dining experience!!

    What I love about Redbird is the fact it becomes a learning experience for me at times. Last night Matt, the sommelier, sent over a bottle of Condrieu that went so well with what I was eating that I had to look it up, and it's a Rhone valley Viognier. I know I've had Viogniers before, but none this good. Then, at the end of the meal, Mike served me a Black Manhattan, a mix of the house rye (which I own) and a mid-range Amaro (which I also own) - delicious and perfect for what it was.

    This is a perfect restaurant. Even the vegetables, which I don't usually care for, are excellent. Everyone is treated like a movie star and the food is perfect. They also have a very creative wine list. Accompanying the fabulous food is top notch service. I give this restuarant my highest rating.

    Tubot was full of small bones and almost raw. A lot of delicious food, but the chef achieved this mostly in the lazy way -- everything was swimming in sugar. Service was perfect -- attentive and kind. We don't complain but told the truth when asked about the turbot. They didn't charge for it, so of course I added it back when computing my 20% tip plus a little extra. Great people.

    The service at Redbird was impeccable. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable. One thing that truly sets Redbird apart is its stunning ambiance. The restaurant is housed in a historic building, and the interior design seamlessly blends modern elements with the building's original charm. The spacious dining area, adorned with elegant décor and soft lighting, created an intimate and inviting atmosphere. With its lush greenery, the open-air courtyard added an enchanting touch, making it a true oasis in the heart of Los Angeles. The flan wasn't very good but all the other dishes were decent.

    Honestly the whole experience was lovely. I called the restaurant twice to modify my reservation and they were super nice. The first time I called was because I needed to change my party size from 6 to 8 and they did it no problem. The second time was because we were running about a half hour late and I cannot get over how kind the hostess who answered the phone was. Very reasonable and really put me at ease. When we did get there the hostess helped us get a table in the main dining room and the bartender was very nice and even suggested a specific old fashioned for my dad. The waitress, who’s name I wish I remembered, was amazing. She gave us a couple of orders of bread for our two kids and spoke to my dad in Spanish which made everything easier. The food was amazing. We shared a few items and the porterhouse is definitely worth the money that you pay. Again, everything was great from top to bottom but for me the thing that really set it apart was the staff. They were very kind and friendly in an industry that can leave a lot of people kind of jaded and grumpy. Good hires and if I could I would go back just to leave the waitress another 100 dollars in tips. She was that good! My sister loved her birthday. Thank you all.

    The service was very slow and we were waiting a long time for many of our items ordered. There were long waits in between. But the bussers came by often and we had to ask if he would get a server for us.

    We went for Mother's Day Brunch. The service was excellent. It was a special menu, so it was somewhat limited. We loved the pastry selection, but it was an add-on to the fixed-price menu. The burrata salad appetizer my wife had was excellent. I had the french toast appetizer. It was huge--very rich and more than a main dish--and a little too sweet for me. The fritatta main my wife had was excellent and the baked eggs I had were very good. Coffee was an add-on was well, and expensive. We enjoyed the meal and the ambiance is excellent.

    We were happy to see that Redbird’s DineLA menu included vegetarian options, so we went with it. We had the sugar snap peas as our appetizer, the wild mushroom bolognese for our main course, and both desserts, the strawberry trifle and caramelized chocolate bar—all delectable. We wish the regular menu included additional vegetarian options. The space is beautiful, the cocktails were excellent, the service was impeccable. It was good to see servers and the hosts diverse in terms of gender and race, but we noticed no servers the evening we were at Redbird were Black—all too often the case in high-end restaurants in LA, shamefully.

    We had a great Dine LA menu. I docked it one star because they ran out of the tataki. The music was a bit loud but the ambiance is unbeatable. I ordered the cap steak and it was perfectly seared and tender. Our server was great but it was clear she had a lot of tables and was doing her best. Overall this restaurant is consistent and just a great place to go with friends for a night out for a great meal.

    Been wanting to try Redbird for quite a while. My guests love the Mimosa. We had a number of items off of the weekend brunch menu. Most were quite good. My party loved the pancakes and bacon. The french toast was delicious. The burger is decadent. The basque eggs is a pass. The fritatta is good. The prices were reasonable. The space is just lovely. It was a wonderful dining experience. Thank you. Looking forward to going back to try the dinner menu.
