New American

Redbird

Downtown, Los Angeles, CA 📍 Maps

An open-air courtyard restaurant serving New American shareable plates, known for multi-cultural flavors and a highly structured cocktail program. Chef Neal Fraser and Amy Knoll Fraser built the space inside the historic 1933 rectory building of the former Cathedral of Saint Vibiana. Request a table in the main dining room to sit directly beneath the retractable roof with views of the historic bell tower.

★ The Legend
Chicken Pot Pie
This comforting classic is elevated with a rich filling of chicken thighs, wild hen of the woods mushrooms, and tender chicken hearts tucked beneath a shatteringly flaky puff pastry crust. Regulars order this individually as a rich starter to kick off the meal rather than sharing it.
◆ Fan Favorite
Duck Confit Chilaquiles
A staple of the weekend brunch menu, this dish features deeply savory shredded duck confit layered over thick, house-fried tortilla chips drenched in a robust red mole and topped with a fried egg. It is designed to be eaten immediately while the chips retain their perfect balance of crunch and sauce absorption.
● Chef's Pick
Hamachi Crudo
Chef Neal Fraser's signature raw preparation highlights pristine, sustainably farmed Japanese amberjack dressed with heirloom tomatoes, celery heart, and a splash of premium olive oil. It is a light, clean dish meant to be eaten slowly to appreciate the delicate balance of the citrus and herbal notes.
◇ Hidden Gem
Posole
First-timers bypass this starter for flashier crudos, but regulars know this deeply spiced hominy stew features incredibly rich, slow-cooked heritage pork belly and crispy chicanitas. Squeeze the accompanying fresh lime directly into the broth to cut through the luxurious fattiness of the pork.
✦ Off the Menu
Off-Menu Foie Gras
A legendary preparation featuring rich, seared La Belle Farms foie gras served over forbidden black rice, green curry, and green mangoes. Simply ask your server if the kitchen is preparing the off-menu black rice foie gras tonight, as it is kept in rotation for in-the-know regulars.
Insider Tip

Order one of the historically inspired cocktails curated by the bar team, which are specifically designed to pair with the savory, rich profiles of the wood-fired mains. If you are dining on a chilly evening, ask the staff to partially close the retractable roof so you can enjoy the courtyard atmosphere without the draft.
