Redbird | Vibiana

und (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

, and cooked flawlessly. I finished with a decadent chocolate dessert that was the perfect ending to the meal. What impressed me most was the service. Even late in the evening, near the end of the shift, the staff remained attentive, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. The food, service, and overall experience were all top-notch. Redbird has remained remarkably consistent over the years and continues to set the standard for fine dining in Los Angeles.

ill 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.

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.

floor manager telling me all reservations have been canceled due to an event. Mind you, I get this email on June 13th. I was annoyed because I had to scramble and find a restaurant that had availability. I’m sure they knew of this event a while ago. So that was annoying. In September of 2025, I reached out to the floor manager, Ani, and tried to make a reservation for September 14th. She informed me that they will be closed for an event. So I reached out to Ani one last time to get a reservation for my anniversary on April 21st. We finally got in! So with all of the back and forth with Ani, I kind of expected them to go above and beyond. But unfortunately, I felt we were treated not so great. When we arrived, we waited a good 10 mins until the hostess greeted us. The time we were there, no one acknowledged our presence. When she finally came, she did apologized and walked us over to a big table in the farthest corner in the restaurant. Now mind you, it was only 3 of us, and they tried to sit us at a table that can seat 6, in a corner. No no, I’m not sitting there. I’ve literally been trying to come here for the past 9months and it’s my anniversary. So I asked to be sat at a smaller table in the middle of the restaurant. Now, I’m familiar on how the seating works as it really comes down to the amount of servers you have and the amount of tables are within their section. But again, the manager Ani, was fully aware of my reservation and I felt that she should’ve provided better hospitality for us. So, once we were seated, we waited awhile for our waiter. When he finally showed up, we placed our order. We had drinks, appetizers, and our main meal. The menu is on the smaller side, so I expected the food to be overly delicious. But it was just ok. It was good, but not mind blowing. After dinner, I asked the waiter if I can speak with Ani. She came and I reminded her who I was and the back and forth emails we’ve had since July 2025. She knew right away. I told her I was a bit disappointed that the hostess was trying to sit us in the far corner. All she said was “oh sorry about that”. That was it, no complementary dessert, or anything. Like wow! We’ve been treated so much better at other restaurants. It was real disappointing. I would not recommend this spot nor would I come back. I suggest the managers do more hospitality trainings.
