Fodor's Expert Review Redbird

L.A. native Neal Fraser's modern American restaurant is carved out of a former rectory with the original ceiling beams to prove it. Once you move into the tented and visually stunning space, you're regaled with a long wine list and a creative menu that reads from left to right with small, medium, large, and extra large dishes. Menu gems include chicken pot pie, gemelli pasta with braised goat, and a bone-in rib eye cooked medium rare that melts in your mouth. A generous happy hour offers discounted bites and wines, and a succulent brunch wows with duck confit chilaquiles and Basque baked eggs.
