Los Angeles RoadTrip Episode 5 Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress.. We have this big wide city all to ourselves.. We blocked the noise with the sound of "I need you".. And right there where we stood was holy ground.. Sitting, on holy ground (Frmr. Cathedral Bldg.), at the "Redbird".. We drank cold glasses of luscious Chardonnay... The Lass ate a "Grilled Branzino" perfectly cooked..but, somewhat sad, that the sauce the maitre d kindly poured on the Fish, softened the crisp skin. (in the old days, you would be flogged for that..:). All in all it was enjoyable. The Lad, ate a Wagyu Burger, that was superbly cooked "Rare-Med. Rare) juicy deliciousness, This Burger was the most unctuous burger ever tackled in these Americas..:) Then dropping out of the sky on to our table (by friends) was a plate of "Caramelised Banana French Toast"...Yes, nicely sweet, just missing whip cream (it's 5'O'clock somewhere..:) A very pleasant relaxing restaurant with great grub too.. "Tonight, We are gonna dance like we are on Holy Ground..:) Best, a+b

Redbird delivered one of those rare group dining experiences where everything actually works, even with a party of 13. We came here for a birthday, and from the moment you walk into that stunning former cathedral space, it feels elevated but still warm and inviting. The lighting, the architecture, the energy, it all sets the tone for something special without feeling overly formal. Chef Neal Fraser’s menu is thoughtful and really well executed, and we went deep into it. The hamachi crudo was my favorite, bright, citrusy, with that perfect sweet and sour balance and just enough crunch to make every bite interesting. The branzino was a standout, clean, delicate, and beautifully cooked. The burrata was another highlight, served over arugula with a balsamic glaze and nuts that added the right amount of texture. Even the brussels sprouts surprised us, a little kick to them and full of flavor. The steak frites were solid, and the fries across the board were fresh, crisp, and addictive. Dessert sealed it. The pavlova, which I don’t usually gravitate toward, was incredible, light, balanced, and the grapefruit brought a brightness that made it memorable. The s’mores dessert was also a hit, fun, indulgent, and done really well. Service and pacing, especially for a group this size, were seamless. Everyone felt taken care of, dishes came out smoothly, and the entire experience felt intentional from start to finish. Overall, food, service, and ambience were all excellent.

I never really make it to DTLA anymore but if one does, Redbird is pretty great for an intimate dinner, drinks at the bar, celebration with friends, etc. Their menu is pretty solid and they seem to do their basics very well. The porkchop was my favorite. The lamb shank was decent and the curry sauce was excellent. The pastas and salads are always on the mark. What they also do well are cocktails, classic and new fusion and love the night cap menu where they seal a cocktail for you to-go. The wine and desserts are pretty mediocre. Better to just get another cocktail in my opinion. I found the service wonderful. Efficient and friendly. They are run by professionals, which are hard to find these days. The thing I really enjoyed was the atmosphere, especially in the main dining room with open roof. Really sets the ambiance apart from other restaurants.

From the moment we arrived we knew this was a special place. The staff was beyond friendly and greeted us with warmth and made us feel welcomed. The location is beautiful and is a destination worthy of praise. We were there for brunch and the food was sublime. We never felt rushed and we were able to fully enjoy our food. We were also able to tour the cathedral/event room. Very impressive. We will be back.

As we acclimate to being parents and finding places that we can pop in and still have a good time with our baby, Redbird raised the bar. We were able to walk in firstly get to order from the happy hour menu which does come with the requirement of being seated inside in their lounge area but it in itself is a vibe! Food was amazing, the servers were kind and attentive, and the drinks and bartenders were next level great! Baby friendly, and spacious to walk around. The whole aesthetic is beautiful and I recommend this for anyone traveling to LA
