An outstanding experience at Redbird! The wine tasting was wonderful, the food was delicious, and the service was truly top-notch. Everything was thoughtfully done, from the quality of the dishes to the excellent wine selections and attentive, friendly staff. A beautiful atmosphere and a fantastic overall experience. Highly recommend Redbird!

First time diners, the bar and vibe was beautiful and upbeat. We ordered a collection of small plates, each delicious! Biggest surprise were the beans. The simplest of dishes with the biggest impact! Defiantly a return is needed next time in LA.

Had the American Wagyu Ribeye and was single handedly the best steak I’ve had in my life and I’m well travelled in the steak world. Caesar salad was great, nice ambience with live piano player.

Came here with my wife from LA Prime because we waited 40 minutes at our table and the waiter never came to check in on us. We switched over to wayfarer as we saw they had great reviews. And it did not disappoint!! We were so happy we switched on over and decided to try it. It definitely give you an immersive experience as you have such a beautiful roof top view of the skyline.

We went to Delilah for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner, and it did not disappoint! He’s been wanting to try this spot for a while, and I was excited to revisit, I haven’t been here in moons! I had noted the birthday on our reservation, and I loved that the host acknowledged it right when we checked in. Our waiter also wished him a happy birthday, and they even brought out our hot fudge sundae with a candle without us having to ask. Those little touches really made the night special. We were seated at a beautiful, spacious table with a fireplace, which made the experience even cozier. The ambiance is very intimate and dimly lit. It was giving the classic Hollywood dinner-and-a-show vibes with music playing throughout the restaurant. As for the food, the chicken tenders are a must try! Now I understand all the hype. The grilled cheese with tomato soup was another favorite, so good! For our entrees, we ordered the New York strip steak (cooked medium) with the carrot soufflé. Both were delicious, but that carrot soufflé deserves its own shoutout. Even as someone who isn’t a big carrot fan, I absolutely loved it! We also tried the Champagne Papi cocktail, which I would definitely order again. Delilah is still a hotspot, and I can see why. It made for such a great birthday dinner. I’d absolutely come back for another date night or a girls night.

    I dined at noon at NOE before my Opera perfomance which I usually do. The place is quiet which I like, the food is good and super reasonably priced, although a bit higher than several months ago. The service is always consistently excellent, responsive and caring! I had the Papardelle with scallops and it was delicious. They also always have my favorite Pinot Noir by Meiomi! I was a bit disappointed, however because LA Opera advertised a special Magic Flute cocktail for eating here and it was not available for lunch, but only dinner! Overall, I reommend this venue as I often come here and if I want to work, I can eat and do both!
