    Wow, coming from a first generation Italian family with a Mom who is the “heavy weight champion” of authentic Italian fare. This meal was epoch. We need DRAGO in Boston!! I will always come back here when I am any where near LA. Service, class and perfection all around the table… Erik Santucci

    I came here to celebrate my bachelorette outing with a few friends, and I must say, this restaurant exceeded my expectations in all the right way possible. The service was great, the food was utterly amazing, and the atmosphere was so refreshing. I accidentally stumbled across Redbird when I was searching for places that served brunch, and now I’m going to continue to come back as this turned to be one of my favorite eatery.

    The restaurant was beautiful and airy. I loved al the plants and they are so meticulously cared for. Our server wasn’t good. He didn’t refill my tea, he didn’t refill waters, he didn’t come see us and it was until the manager came to check on us on her own that we had refills and hot sauce brought to us by her. Also his hygiene in his mouth needs more care as his foul breath could be smelled. I would come back here again but would hope not to get him again. Also the food was great. We had eggs Benedict with ham and salmon and the potatoes are just yummy. Hubby had steak and eggs.

    Ambiance was the best part of this Chado location in Little Tokyo. Service was a bit slow as there was only one host and one server on a weekend. Tables were spaced out enough to have quiet conversation with your guest/party. Sit outside for the best atmosphere. What would have elevated the experience: a thoughtful, brief rundown of each type of tea and history of Chado.
