    4.95 out of 5. Let me explain… we had an amazing window table, view was spectacular. The only nuance was that we were too close to the kitchen doors, so a bit noisy. However, the experience quickly faded away the noise. The settings were top notch, the ambiance couldn’t be better, very classy and distinguished. The food was out of this world, we enjoyed the distinct and special touch of flavors infused by the chef creations. The wine and cocktails selection was adequate and expansive. I ordered the ribeye steak and I couldn’t be more pleased with my selection. Also, as my 1st course I enjoyed the Caledonian Prawns . Amazing! Definitely I will repeat the experience and recommend the restaurant to my friends and colleagues.

    Too often in LA restaurants are priced like they are a once or twice-a-year super high-end blowout when they're just a nice or sort-of interesting dining experience. Redbird is where we go when we want to treat ourselves to a truly exquisite evening. Their wine list is incredible, but we often get distracted by the beautiful cocktails. Menu is small and crafted at a super high level by chef Neal Fraser. Beautiful location, though it can be chilly on winter nights. We had to ask to move to a table closer to the heat lamps. Service is impeccable but not too much. We're always wowed and leave feeling special and deeply satisfied. Simply put, Redbird is our favorite fine restaurant in Los Angeles. Happy hour is a great deal here if you want to start small and check the vibe.

    Nick is arguably the BEST server in LA! He is so knowledgeable and honest and fun without being at all intrusive. The front desk staff are also excellent. They rush to open the door for us and greet us with big smiles. We aren't huge regulars, but they make us feel like we are. We're never rushed from our table (but we don't linger endlessly on a busy night). Compliments to the bus team as well for their attentiveness. Overall, one of the best restaurants in LA, and not a big bold presence on this quiet corner on Sunset. You will never be disappointed. (And if you are for something you didn't really love, they totally make up for it with extra goodies and tastes at no charge. Thanks to all the Gwen team!
