    Delicious dinner in the DTLA neighborhood. Great if you are headed to any of the theaters nearby. We had the Piri Piri chicken and the Caesar salad and both were worth having again. Also had terrific service.

    Have been to this tea numerous times and generally always enjoy it and feel satisfied. The tea sandwiches are always good. The tea selection was excellent, multiple delicious sounding black tea options. Don’t need fruity or green teas for high tea imo. The room is gorgeous, a fountain in the center. They used to have some couch seating but I don’t see it any more, just tables and chairs. The service was on point, we were the first ones there but our server brought things out very quickly which was nice. Everyone was friendly. Be warned parking/valet at the hotel is $30+ but you can prepay cash $25 and save a little.

    Wonderful brunch at Red Bird. We enjoyed the service and the food very much. It is so nice to relax and enjoy good food in a beautiful setting without feeling rushed. The menu is a great mix of sweet and savory items; the portions are ample enough to share if you feel like a bite of both. Looking forward to returning soon.

    Lovely night. Service was fabulous. Food was terrific. Lots of complex tastes and prep. They never make things "normally." Special. If you want a quiet experience, make sure to ask for the back dining room. Upstairs would probably be quiet too. Louder and livelier in the front room.
