38 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles for Street Tacos, California Cuisine, and Flawless Omakase | Condé Nast Traveler

"You're dining inside a former cathedral, how's that for making an entrance? The space is ornate, and the architecture is timeless, so it immediately sets expectations sky-high—and somehow Redbird manages to meet them without feeling stuffy about it. At Redbird, Angeleno Chef Neal Fraser showcases modern American cuisine that is refined yet approachable and highlights the multicultural influences of his native city. Standout dishes like the branzino with Thai broth and ricotta cavatelli with morels and English peas show technique without showing off. An extensive cocktail menu by Tobin Shea features well-balanced, bespoke renditions of the classics. The Cardinal Punch, made with bourbon, amaro, roasted orange, clove, lemon and orange essence, is like a strong punch in the face, in a good way." - Celeste Moure
