Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Had a lovely meal here, just don't get the pork chop! Great ambiance and attentive service. Love that the ceiling is open but the temperature is perfect. The drinks were wonderful, John Dory was the best item we ordered, broccolini was also very tasty, but the pork chop was very disappointing. Hard to chew, too sweet, good presentation but otherwise, much regret.
This place is a fantastic date spot. I sat at the bar and was served by Jayden, who made increadible recommendations about the food and drink. Had several cocktails but my favorites were the Yuzu Spritz and the Christmas Vacation. Food wise, we had the grilled prawns which were cooked to perfection and came with a fresh mint, grapefruit and quinoa salad. It was a crisp, clean, citrus palette cleanser that paired perfectly with the prawns. We also tried the Pappardelle which was a deliciously rich pasta, savory shredded rabbit, with some green olives and tomatoes to balance the flavors. Absolutely delicious! For dessert we just said to surprise us with a few and got a little sampling. Our favorite was a homemade donut with fresh jelly, candied ginger, and in house ice cream. Overall great experience, this is a wonderful date spot, and they have valet at the front so you don’t have to fuss with trying to find a parking place.
The best restaurant in DTLA. Every meal I have at Redbird is better than the last. And the cocktails are unbeatable. Tobin and the bar team are the best in town. They make gorgeous cocktails, are really attentive, and creative. They make it look so easy! As someone who puts in a lot of time to make mediocre cocktails at home, this bar team is extremely skilled! I went for an early pre-theater dinner before heading to the Ahmanson Theater. Even though it was Valentine’s Day, it wasn’t the set menu disaster most restaurants succumb to. I ordered the beet and goat cheese salad which was super light and the greens were super bright. Cannot go wrong with lamb chops. But the best for me was the chawanmushi, cooked perfectly with lobster-absolutely my favorite of the night. Oh and they have these Brazilian cheese breads that are the perfect treat and I even took them with me to sneak for a post theater delight! 10/10 recommend!
Great place for a pre-show lunch or dinner. It’s an easy walk from the Music Center, has a nice atmosphere, and the service is always excellent. Their lobster Congee is a pleasant delicious surprise.
Whatever you do, do not choose the lounge for seating. It doesn’t seem that there is any dedicated service in the lounge vs the main dining area. I initially reserved the main dining area for a party of 6, but was moved to the lounge when I changed my party to 8 guests. The waiter rarely stopped by and I had to step away to ask someone to take our orders. Stepped away again to ask about our food. Probably took over an hour to get our food, this is quite stressful when we have a toddler in our party. And finally a crazy bday cake mixup catastrophe. The manager offered to comp our whole meal, which was quite generous in my opinion, I didn’t expect that at all. But was it a great experience? Still not great. Redbird is still one of my favorite places to go, but beware of being seated in the lounge.
