Chef | Owner Neal Fraser's flagship restaurant, Redbird, features Modern American cuisine that is refined, yet approachable and highlights the multicultural influences of Chef Fraser’s native city – Los Angeles.
Located in downtown, Redbird is carved into one of the City’s most historic architectural gems - the former rectory building of Vibiana. Vibiana, the cathedral-turned-event-venue, is also owned and operated by Fraser. Designer Robert Weimer created a dynamic space that pays homage to the cathedral next door and the existing timeless architecture by inserting simple modern forms to complement rather than overtake the feel of the rooms.
In addition to the main dining room and lounge, a wide variety of unique private event rooms are available upstairs, plus an intimate garden and Vibiana. Special events of all sizes are highly customizable, combining indoor and outdoor experiences. Each room has its own featured design highlights and history. Many of the rooms also have private open kitchens which allow for first-hand interaction with Chef Fraser and his team.
Wine Director Jaime Arzate's wine list is well-rounded with great finds from both established and emerging wine regions throughout the world. An extensive cocktail menu by Bar Director Tobin Shea features well-balanced, bespoke renditions of the classics.
The versatility of hosting an event on property is endless, offering a highly customizable backdrop for celebrations of any style, including weddings, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, showers, brunches, photoshoots, filming, entertainment, corporate, non-profit, and performing arts. Full property buy-outs and combining several rooms are also available.

Chef Neal Fraser took over operations of Vibiana, the cathedral-turned-event-venue in Downtown Los Angeles and three years later opened his flagship restaurant, Redbird, in the property's rectory building. Redbird features Modern American cuisine that is refined, yet approachable and highlights the multi-cultural influences of Fraser’s native city – Los Angeles. Prior to the success of Redbird and Vibiana, Fraser opened two of the City's most loved restaurants – critical darling Grace, and ever-beloved, breakfast, lunch and dinner bistro, BLD.

I can’t speak for dinner but for brunch this a top tier brunch spot. Everything was good and they’re really trying to push to give you the best food and service possible. They do something different with their mimosas, I’m not exactly sure they...
explained it to me but after a few I have forgotten just know they’re perfect. Don Flamenco grapefruit drink is also amazing. All the food was truly exceptional. The blueberry pancakes are huge ! The bacon is so smoky and perfect. The frittata and egg sandwich were both great also. I even posted a pic of the ice cubes cause they’re perfect 😂. Also the atmosphere with the service is just so fire. The roof opens up when it’s nice out. Such a dope vibe. You can’t miss if you come here. Highly recommended!!

We hit up this spot for brunch inside a cool, old church, and honestly, it was awesome! The vibe was just as you'd expect - super chill and unique. Tried the pumpkin pancake, and it was bomb - tasty but not too sweet, with a nice kick from the ...
pumpkin seeds. The beef dish was tender, flavorful, and just right. Definitely going back to check out dinner next time!

Love the open air feel of the space with the high ceilings. The roof was opened up during the morning brunch which just enhanced the feel of the room.
The staff here worked together in a seamless way to take orders, deliver food and beverages...
and keep waterglasses full. We were seated quickly in the main dining room at the time of our reservation.
The brunch cocktails were excellent, really nicely balanced mixology that felt refreshing and light. The Redeye, Good Morning Vietnam, and Nogada were all delicious.
The food here was phenomenal. We ordered the BLD Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes and a side of Applewood Smoked Bacon to share and then each had an entree (Short Rib Hash, Duck Confit Chilaquiles, and Frittata). All of the main dishes were excellent, the bacon could have been a little crispier (we asked for it to come out crispy and it was maybe 60% there) but was still high quality excellent bacon. We each shared tastes of the entrees and all of them were delicious, hearty, and perfectly flavored.
A wonderful brunch spot; would love to come back for dinner!

Whatever you do, do not choose the lounge for seating. It doesn’t seem that there is any dedicated service in the lounge vs the main dining area.
I initially reserved the main dining area for a party of 6, but was moved to the lounge when I ch...
anged my party to 8 guests. The waiter rarely stopped by and I had to step away to ask someone to take our orders. Stepped away again to ask about our food. Probably took over an hour to get our food, this is quite stressful when we have a toddler in our party. And finally a crazy bday cake mixup catastrophe. The manager offered to comp our whole meal, which was quite generous in my opinion, I didn’t expect that at all. But was it a great experience? Still not great.
Redbird is still one of my favorite places to go, but beware of being seated in the lounge.
