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!

Absolutely fantastic. Took my wife here for her birthday while we were visiting. The service was next level - we never sat unattended, and every course came out in perfect time related to the previous one. My wife commented that she thought we were in an episode of The Bear given how every detail was on point. The food was delicious we started with the polpo for an appetizer, and I had the Il Garganelli… this pork sausage ragú was unreal. Her seafood linguine was amazing as well. We topped off with panna cotta for dessert and they even made it special for her birthday. Will definitely come back here for more the next time I’m in LA!
