"If you’re downtown to see a show at The Ahmanson or Walt Disney Music Hall or want to impress your parents with how well you’re (pretending) to have your sh*t together, Redbird should be at the top of your list. Its Bunker Hill location is a quick walk to all the major theaters and museums, the large space (that used to be a church) is stunning, and though it can get pricey, the menu is huge and ideal for people who never know what they want." - jess basser sanders, brant cox

"Redbird, located in Downtown Los Angeles, is a modern American restaurant known for its upscale dining experience.

This restaurant is recognized for its innovative dishes and elegant setting." - Rebecca Roland

"Redbird is stunning, huge, and not the kind of place you’re going to once a week—all reasons why it’s one of the best spots for a holiday party Downtown. The menu involves lots of plates to share, so maybe make sure you’re sitting next to a friend so you can hoard dishes together. Capacity: 30 people seated in the main dining room. 90 seated in the lounge. 150 seated on the outdoor patio. 225 standing for a full buyout. Private dining rooms can fit between 16 to 110 seated, 30 to 150 standing." - brant cox, nikko duren
