Red Bird

Red Bird occupies a compact space, with a few booths along one wall, a few tables adjacent, and a bar area on the other side of the room. The walls are lined with white and glossy black brick, the floors are a handsome dark wood, and the lighting is modern and streamlined. At the back of the room, beneath a sculpture of a cardinal perching on a silver branch, is a small kitchen closed in with glass panes, a window into just what a wild endeavor it is to run a restaurant. Inside, chefs move like human pistons, one can hear the terse patter of the expediter, attempting to get dinners to the tables. The hard work of cooking easy, tasty food for a crowd is on display.
