    I think this was their French dip sandwich with sweet potatoes and it was so good! I truly wasn't expecting it to be so flavorful and well balanced-- the meat and cheese with the pickled onions The au jus was really good too! Not too salty. And you can't go wrong with some sweet potato fries and sauce to dip! Service and space were amazing as well!! There's AC so don't even worry about it being hot with the window design.

    My new favorite brunch! It's on a rooftop of Line Hotel and has an amazing greenhouse ambience. The food was soooo good. I really enjoyed the eggs benedict with ham. The hollandaise sauce with the poached egg and ham was just perfection. I liked the crispy potatoes and the salad it came with as well. The potatoes were the perfect crispiness level and the salad was a refreshing yuzu like taste. The avocado toast was surprisingly really good! I thought it would be more simple but it pleasantly surprised me! I liked how they add cucumber and pickle veggies along with the microgreens on top.

    Came here to catch up with a friend for brunch. Food: If you come, come only for the aesthetic ambiance. The food was not so great. It was cold when it was first brought out! The ingredients did not taste fresh. The potatoes were slightly hard to eat. I couldn't even finish it. The sausages were difficult to bite into. I'm not sure how breakfast food could be messed up this badly. The eggs were alright. My friend also did not really like her plate too. Service: We were seated pretty quickly as there was no line. It was relatively empty at the time. Our servers were kind and brought out our food in a timely manner. Parking: $10 valet. There's no free parking. Overall: I wouldn't come back. The food was below mediocre for me. It was definitely pretty though seeing all the plants around you while you eat. I liked how the tables had mini flower vases in the center. Very aesthetically pleasing but if you're looking for quality food, I'd double think before coming here!

    This place is pretty good. We came here for the Dine LA week. I'm not sure how representative that is of their general menu. This is at a second floor of a cool looking hotel. They do have valet parking which the restaurant validates. I assume you could park nearby on the street but not totally sure. The set menu was interesting. I liked my appetizer of ahi tuna though it was nothing super exciting. The beef I had was good though it was on a weird mash that I later read was sweet potato - and it was just a bit too sweet. I did like the beef which was tender and the swiss chard was a good side. The dessert was really good. This restaurant looks like a greenhouse. It seemed like it was only maybe a third full. I imagine it would be an easy place to meet if you are staying at the hotel, but did seem a bit pricey for what you got. The service was fine but they told us we couldn't split the bill three ways, only two ways. I don't know if I'd recommend for group dining if that is their standard policy.

    I've been wanting to give this place a try. We finally came since it offerer Dine LA menu. Openaire is located in THE LINE Hotel. There is valet but we found parking on the streets. The restaurant does validate. We had reservations for dinner on a Sunday night, and it wasn't crowded at all. Our server was attentive and helpful. The food was delicious and unique. I can see how people are saying it can be pricey. With Dine LA, it was a good deal. The Tuna Tartare was really tasty; especially with the sweet potato chips. The Braised Beef Paleron was very flavorful and melts in your mouth. It was my first time having the Okinawa sweet potato. It paired well with the beef. The dessert was just right as well. I liked the Passionfruit Creme Brulee better since I'm not a chocolate person. I want to come back to try their brunch and to see this place in the day time.

    I'd been wanting to try Openaire for a minute, and I was super excited to finally cross this off my bucket list. We had heard there was validation, but we realized it would still be $15, so that proved to be contradictaory which resulted in us having to find parking in the congested area known as K-town. Upon entry, I loved how aesthetic and exceptionally designed it was, though it did look bigger online lol. The customer service was decent, but it seemed as though our waitress misunderstood a few of our requests, and there was a bit of confusion. Although the menu had great options, and the food was good, the price specfially for the breakfast plate, was overpriced, and 1 pancake was $6 extra, and unfortunately, I was still hungry after lol. It was nice to cross it off the list, but it would definitely be a one-and-done place.

    Amazing Ceaser Salad

    OpenAire : OpenAire in K-town is a special terrarium of a space perfect for an upscale Mother's Day, a fun long tabled birthday or a very ruckus brunch. The space is Instagrammable in every sense of the genre. It gives Eco-plant-chic as sunlight beams and a glass housing to remind each other ever throw stones. It's happy and bright and the service matches it. The food portions and flavors are as well and we are lucky to have it in our beautiful town. Thank you OpenAire for your open heart. I promise to stay at the Line hotel as I think their lobby is fabulous as well because who doesn't enjoy a lobby happy hour within brutalist poured concrete.

    Duck Pasta
    Michelle L.

    TLDR - ambiance and apps here are better than the entrees IMO; i think it's more of a hang with friends and vibe in a nice atmosphere Food: my favorite apps were the crudo & the kale salad, although everything was pretty good! * For entrees, the steak (not pictured) and jerk chicken were pretty good but neither of the duck dishes were that great. The duck pasta was minced so you couldn't really taste the flavor /couldn't differentiate with another meat and the duck kimchi rice was just ok. The kimchi fried rice was more sour than I liked and had some pear slices on top to make it a bit sweeter, overall kind of soggy. Service: a little slow but the waiters are super friendly and helpful with any questions/recommendations Parking: KTOWN parking is pretty hard since this is located @ the Line Hotel so you either need to valet or street park and walk

    Japanese sweet potatoe

    Had my little freakier Friday moment eating here as I just watched the movie and hadn't been back to the Line hotel since it was a different restaurant so I was happy to come back. Valet at the hotel is available and with validation from the restaurant is I think $14 if I remember correctly. The restaurant is beautiful within a greenhouse area. Everything we tried tasty pretty good, some more stand outs than others. My favorites were: + house milk bread - soft and light and the porcini butter was savory with lots of umami + roasted Japanese sweet potatoes - sweet and savory! + crispy duck confit - the kimchi rice below was delish! What I would personally skip: + Tempura squash - textures were there but overall flavor profile was subtle + snake river farms wagyu zabuton was overall fine, but all the components felt more separate than complimentary? + carrot Swiss roll - tougher texture, I think in the fridge too long

    Tartare

    We recently went on a date night to Openaire and had a wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by very friendly and welcoming hosts, which immediately set the tone for the evening. The service was excellent the staff was attentive, kind, and genuinely made us feel taken care of. Our server recommended a special cocktail (unfortunately I don't remember the name), but it was incredibly fresh and delicious definitely a highlight. The food was outstanding. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. The tuna tartare, in particular, is something I would come back for again without hesitation. Great atmosphere, great service, and amazing food. Definitely a 5-star experience

    We specifically chose Openaire because they were advertising this Koreatown Gwishin (Ghost) Dinner for Halloween, complete with immersive storytelling, Korean ghost lore, a Daegu fortune teller, and spooky dinner theatrics. We thought it would be such a cool, Korean-themed Halloween night. But when we arrived and asked about the storytelling... not a single staff member had any idea what we were talking about. We asked multiple people and everyone looked confused. Where was the Daegu Fortune Teller? I wish they were present just to tell us this whole thing was a hoax. Lol. The good news: The ambiance is stunning. This restaurant is undeniably beautiful with dreamy greenhouse vibes with warm lighting and lush greenery. The atmosphere alone makes you want to stay for hours. The food and cocktails were delicious, and the special Halloween menu was executed perfectly, so zero complaints there. There was a magician/mentalist performing that night, and his trick actually blew my mind. I'm still thinking about how the X mark ended up on the inside of my left palm even though I was gripping my hands super tight. So props to him because that was memorable and very on-theme in its own way. The not-so-good: Our server felt lost, almost like it was her first day. And overall, it just didn't seem like anyone had been briefed on the event that was being heavily advertised. I just don't think they thought this concept through. If you're going to promote an immersive themed experience, the team should at least be aware of it. Bottom line: We still enjoyed our meal because the ambiance and food truly delivered. But next time, please don't advertise something and then pull the plug without telling your staff, it just makes everyone look confused, including the guests. Would I return? Yes -- for the vibes and food. Would I return for a themed event? A hard no!

    The last time I visited the line was about 10 years ago when the restaurant was still the Commissary. I was happy to see that the decor hadn't changed and the food was just as good. I appreciated the attention and care towards my food allergies and that everything came out quickly. The food was great and we also loved our coffee selection. I would definitely brunch here again.

    Look for The Line LA
    Melinda K.

    I drove five hours straight from San Jose, just in time for brunch, on my first day of vacation in LA three years ago. There was a wait in line for walk-ins, and almost everyone dressed nicer here compared to the tech people in SF restaurants. The rooftop restaurant was located on the third floor of The Line LA. After a 30-minute wait, we were seated outside the greenhouse with shade. We ordered their popular dishes: Ahi Tuna Tartare- fresh tuna with avocado mousseline and sweet potato chips to scoop everything together. Citrusy on the avocado, and the chips were crispy like wonton chips. Corn Flake Crusted French Toast- it had caramelized banana slices on top, and the toasts were fried with corn flakes. It was sweet and a bit crunchy, like eating a croquette. Great for dessert. Hibachi Steak and Egg- The steak was tender and served with Kimchi fried rice and sunny-side egg. A fancier version of Loco Moco, but with a Japanese-Korean flair, California style. The sauce really helped make this whole dish exceptional. If you want it fancier, add the lobster for an extra charge. Service was pleasant. It was too busy on a Sunday. I parked on the street across the hotel with the meter, so I didn't have to pay their pricey valet parking inside the hotel. Overall, it was pricey due to their presentation, but a great way to splurge on special occasions and to catch up with a group of friends in DTLA.

    Openaire Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Openaire

    Is there a dress code?

    Nope, just casual.

    How much is valet PARKING?

    Valet parking is $12. Validation is also required, or you will pay additional fees.

    Are babies welcome for brunch? Is the vibe fitting?

    Yes. I was there with a child. However, if you're in a booth and it's crowded, a place for the stroller will be hectic. It'll be better to be at a table.

    How is the parking for Openaire?

    Valet option is available. Street parking is timed and very limited.

    Is there a full bar here?

    There is indeed! A quite pretty one at that!

    Are there open windows in the greenhouse to allow good air flow or is it all enclosed?

    If you're worried about covid... it's not that airy.

    What is the parking situation on a Sunday morning? Please let me know.

    They have valet which was super easy to do, you may find some street parking around but might have some restrictions (I just went for valet last time)

    Do dogs allow at patio?

    I don't think so

    I've reserved "standard" seats through Open Table, does that guarantee seats in green house?thanks!

    When I reserved OpenTable standard seats I put in the notes "Greenhouse seating request." I also let the hostess know when I checked in on the day of my reservation. We were seated in the Greenhouse with no problems.

    Do they offer bottomless mimosas for brunch?…

    Yes, they do.

    Is there access to the pool from the restaurant?

    Dining doesn't grant access to pool, but it is on same level and you can possibly be seated right across it.

    What is the "standard" seat on the reservation website? There are two options: outdoor seating and standard seating. Is standard seating located in the greenhouse?

    I reserved outdoor and was seated in the greenhouse.

    How much is bottomless mimosas and from what time is it available?

    Hey there. The bottomless mimosas are $ 25, endless drinks for 2 hrs. Between 10am-2:30 pm Enjoy

    Are they still doing bottomless for brunch?

    I called and they said yes but didn't give me a price

    What time is sunday brunch til?

    10-2:30. Always refer to website for answers. It's not posted then call.

    Are dogs allowed on the outside area?

    I saw a girl bring her dog in a dog stroller. I'm going to assume yes

    What number can I call to make reservations?

    I made reservation on opentable. There is a deposit if you have a party of 6 or more. Or go to thelinehotel.com to reserve

    What's the max they can sit for a table? Can they do 8?

    I've seen long tables where they can sit 8, but call to confirm because seating is limited inside the green house dining.

    I emailed regarding a reservation inquiry a few days ago, would it be better to call a specific number instead? I've been unable to get a hold of anyone yet

    Me too! I tried two different numbers and just keeps ringing! 😫

    Do you need to have a reservation for brunch? Or can you walk in? Not able to get anyone on the phone.

    Hi Shanyn, we recommend our guests to make a reservation via Opentable.com; otherwise we do take walk-ins too depending on availability and wait time

Overall, I didn't have a bad experience at Sandcouch Cafe and I would visit again in the future thanks to it's convenient location. The food was solid and the staff was friendly, and that's really all I need when ordering a sandwich.

I had many questions, and both he and his team addressed every single one with patience, care, and attention to detail. It's clear that Dave was born to host events! That level of guidance makes all the difference when you're nervours... that patience and guidance it's exactly what you want in a venue partner. Prank was an excellent choice for our event. The location is fantastic, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the drinks and food were outstanding. Thank you so much. We will absolutely recommend Prank and keep it on our radar for future events in LA.

The open patio, the bar area and how it wraps around the corner where there is a smaller intimate section. The music was awesome, the bartender has a great pour and the people seemed to be really having a great time. As I look around I see there is an open upstairs area that looks down onto the first level. So cool right? I had a conversation with two regulars and they swear by the menu. Plans are made to come back and I must try the food when I do. Cheers!!

Tucked inside the Hauser & Wirth complex, the setting alone elevates the experience--part gallery, part garden, part architectural statement. Guests are encouraged to arrive early, not just for their reservation, but to wander through museum-quality exhibitions, browse the ARTBOOK store, or explore the thoughtfully curated outdoor spaces, complete with farm elements that directly inform the menu. Manuela's commitment to ingredient-driven cuisine is immediately evident. Each dish is composed with intention, showcasing a depth of flavor that reflects both technique and sourcing. We began with the honey cornbread skillet--warm, rustic, and satisfying, though I found myself wishing for a more generous glaze to fully deliver on its promise. To drink, we ordered the "Vesper," a James Bond-inspired martini. It was assertive and spirit-forward, yet balanced enough to remain refreshing--a confident execution of a classic profile. Keeping things simple, we opted for the chicken sandwich and the venison burger. Both were expertly prepared, highlighting the kitchen's ability to elevate familiar formats through quality ingredients and precise execution. It's worth noting that the menu is entirely à la carte, and while the sides come at a premium, the farm-to-table ethos helps justify the price point. Service was another standout. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and refreshingly candid--guiding us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations and transparency. Manuela delivers more than just a meal; it offers a layered experience where food, art, and environment intersect. While not without minor critiques, it remains a compelling choice for those seeking a refined yet grounded dining experience in Downtown Los Angeles.
