Everything about Redbird was fantastic. First, was the warm and welcoming staff, who couldn't do enough to please us, then everything we ordered was delicious. The fireplace blazing at the end of the dining hall added so much to the ambiance.

We dined at Red Bird this evening to end our evening from the Walt Disney Concert Hall's presentation of Star Wars a Concert. We went with two friends of ours who we share seats with every 2-3 Sunday's. This evening we started with the Avocado Salad and Parker House rolls. If you love simple but delicious starter plates these are a must. The parker house rolls are served with a salted, maple butter and date spread that compliments the everything topping on the rolls. We moved on to a few pasta dishes and the Bronzino served whole which was delightful. For desert my husband and I shared the Orange-Passionfruit sorbet and our friends shared the coconut cream pie but it was deconstructed and simply amazing. If you're in town for an elevated experience, we can highly recommend Red Bird. If you wish to bring your own wine which we normally do, there is a $50.00 corkage fee which for the area is a bit high and why we only come here every other month. If they lowered their corkage fee to align with similar restaruants in the area to $35-$40 we would probably come more often. All that being said the food , atmosphere, service and ambiance are amazing here and very much worth the visit.

The service including the sommelier was terrific. The atmosphere lovely. Two of us got the fat belly lamb. It was so tough and chewy, difficult to eat that we did not each much. It was disappointing for such a fine restaurant. The Persimmon Salad was delicious.

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.

This is an excellent restaurant all around - expensive so expect your bill to be well over $100 without drinks.

I came here to celebrate my bachelorette outing with a few friends, and I must say, this restaurant exceeded my expectations in all the right way possible. The service was great, the food was utterly amazing, and the atmosphere was so refreshing. I accidentally stumbled across Redbird when I was searching for places that served brunch, and now I’m going to continue to come back as this turned to be one of my favorite eatery.

Redbird's brunch is a fantastic choice. Whether your going with friends or family, the food, service, and ambient is impeccable. I just hosted a double birthday brunch there with all my buddies and the staff handled it like clockwork. They even treated the birthday folks to dessert which was a super sweet touch. Massive thanks to Redbird for all the work they do.
