The hosting personnel was average, not overly excited or welcoming. The food was exceptional!!! The chef is amazing. Service was great, but waiter kept mentioning being understaffed and apologizing on several occasions for not being able to be attentive. But overall the service was good! Don’t appreciate the added / optional 5% fee.

Service was wonderful. Hostess was charming and waiters were very attentive. Loved the place but the food was okay. Dessert menu limited. Coffee was good but cups were tiny. I had to order 3 coffees. Hardly any other drinks/juices. And ice tea was very bland. I don’t think I would come back.

This was an interesting restaurant experience. One the one hand, the food was mostly excellent, the space is lovely, and they have some nice high-level touches like holding your 'doggie bag' at the front desk with a claim check so you don't need to carry it out through the restaurant. On the other hand, there are actual service details that seem to be lacking. They promptly seated us, but at the very first table inside the door, next to the bar and the bus station, after we told them we were celebrating an anniversary. They accommodated our request to move, but I question why this was the decided location in the first place for a middle-age couple celebrating an anniversary? The glasses of wine that we ordered before our meal took a noticeably long time to arrive, and while I appreciated the tasting opportunity and being able to change my selection, I waited another 20 minutes for my alternate glass while my husband awkwardly nursed his. I received an incorrect appetizer order, but a server was nowhere to be seen for another extended period of time. Finally, after flagging down a second busboy (the first one we asked just disappeared as well), the sommelier came over and took away the wrong order. Our server then materialized and apologized, but isn't it appropriate to check on delivered orders immediately to make sure all is ok? The restaurant didn't seem overly busy, so these 'misses' in the first part of the evening were quite noticeable - especially considering the cost of the meal, which is not inexpensive. I would recommend with caveats.

The highlights were the friendliness of the service. But, this was a one and done and I left dissatisfied overall. The service was slow. It was about 15-20 minutes to get a drink order in and about 30 minutes from the time we sat down until our drinks arrived. The food was decent with the scallops and steak having a nice texture and flavor. The ambience to me was what lost me for what is celebrated at this restaurant venue. It was too dark, which dark in a LA restaurant can be sexy, but this was I can’t see you across the table dark. I mean squinting dark. It was a birthday celebration and we could not get any quality photos or risk being that person who has their flash on the entire time. By the end our service moved so slow we were embarrassingly being offered desert in an empty restaurant with the bar breaking down. All in all was a disappointment.

I have been wanting to go to Redbird for quite a while now, and it did not disappoint, so I finally decided to try it out for Date Night. the main dining room is the place to be, open air seating blew my mind, as I thought we had a roof above us. made reservations through OpenTable, and arrived a bit early so we decided to relax on one of the many sofas at the lounge, felt very comfortable and welcoming. We got to our table and after our drink orders arrived we decided that since it was our first time, we would go with the recommendation of the waiter, and it did not disappoint. the cheese bread balls are addictive ( consider yourself warned ) we started with the Roasted Figs, and decided to share the Dry Boat Scallops and the Black Truffle Cappelletti. the portions were enough for both of us. the dessert menu was tempting but we resisted the Peaches and Cream Trifle this time but I'm not sure we will pass it up next time. enjoyed a Latte and the company of my date. Overall a vey good experience and a wonderful night out. The Avocado salad and Ribeye for 2 are on my list for the next time we return.

I reeeally want to like this place. The staff was really nice and accommodating but as much as it pains me to say it…the food just is not good, especially for the price. We went in with a party of 8 and I watched everyone slowly pick at and move their food around and finally we all admitted once we realized this was taking place that the food was just ok…at best. The flavor profiles where just not hitting, where under or questionably seasoned.. and it left little desired. Sea bass is one of my favorite things to eat and i neverrr don’t completely grub down every bite in my meals when i go out so the fact that I left 1/3 of it and gave some away speaks volumes. To end on a positive note: the complimentary bread is pretty good, the staff was very kind, and the plates came out visually appealing.

Great food, terrific beverages and a brand new Amaro, all playing to Redbird's strengths. The shrimp and grits were amazing, the California sea bass was even better and the Becherovka that was my dessert was eye-opening, Excellent evening even if it was short.

Redbird was nice. Food was excellent. However the main dining room was a bit warm. They need to turn the fans up in the ceiling more to circulate the air better. The atmosphere is awesome just too hot to enjoy a good meal . Maybe consider venting the tents in the ceiling for better air flow. My Niece and I had brunch there. She even commented on the climate inside, but she loved everything else. I actually saw a episode of Bobby Flay and Sofie. This is why I wanted to go. Thanks Wheresken

We had such an amazing time at Redbird. I made a note that it was my sisters bachelorette party and they put so much attention into making our brunch special. They offered complimentary drinks and a dessert with a candle at the end. The food and service was amazing and the attention to detail. I'll definitely be returning!

We celebrated our anniversary at Redbird and it was outstanding. The ambiance transported us to the Mediterranean. Our server Claudia made our night with the perfect recs for drinks and food. She also knew a ton about the history of the building and area. We were delightfully stuffed when we left and can't wait to go back.
