My first time there but my birthday! I feel like to give you an hour and a half limit at a table felt a little rushed. Because by the time you got your food ate at a conversation it was a little bit over there an hour and a half. Overall the restaurant was very nice.

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.

Staff friendly, professional, and made us feel welcome. There was a beautiful Asian woman who I believe is the manager—she’s outstanding! Our server was a beautiful Latina who was elegant, professional, and attentive. As a black woman, I felt very welcome and appreciated the female and multicultural representation. I will be back🤓

From the cocktails to the starters to the mains, everything was really perfect. Menu has some nice changeups from the typical Californian style menu and that was really appreciated. Staff was great and love that they are open late for dinner! Excited to go back and try more items from the menu.
