Family and I stopped by last night. Food and service were great! We shared the scallops, chicken dish, Kale Caesar salad, Japanese sweet potato dish(our favorite) and fried squash blossoms. All the food was delicious and our server was very sweet! Knocking off a star due to the valet telling me it was going to cost me $15 for the first 3 hours and then charging me $22 when we were there less than 3 hours. read more

Overall: 5/10 Food: 5/10 Service: 6/10 Atmosphere: 9/10 Value: 5/10 We are staying at The Line LA Hotel that contains Openaire. The food is heavy and overdone. The service was friendly but would disappear for 20 minutes at a time. It's overpriced for the quality of the food. I know that some people love this place which is awesome. Unfortunately that wasn't our experience which sucks because we're looking for our hangout place to eat when we're in the hotel. read more

This place has been on my list since it was called 'Commissary', so I was excited to try it when I stayed at the Line hotel. First impression is that it was smaller than I expected, the picture make it look huge but its actually quite intimate without feeling overwhelming. It was a pleasant surprise. The food is A La Carte just so you prepare, and I personally don't think the portions are big enough to share. Overall, I enjoyed the food, nice and filling with some a solid flavor profiles. I went when they first opened and dined alone on a Sunday morning, and the place was pretty quiet when I got there. Service was great and fast. read more

Karina at the bar is absolutely amazing. She is hospitable, friendly and very attentive. We want to come back just to sit at the bar with her and enjoy our cocktails. We loved her energy and can't wait to be at her bar next time read more

Such a cute spot for brunch in K-Town! Super easy to valet park here (and only $15 for three hours, which is a steal for K-Town). I got the Paloma, it was refreshing but I would have preferred tequila to mezcal. I paired it with a cinnamon roll for the table (so gooey and yummy, always a good idea) and a soft omelette with mushrooms and breakfast potatoes. This was a solid choice, the brekky potatoes were nice a crispy. My only disappointment was the service. We had someone who was gluten free and the server couldn't make any good recommendations for her. For LA, I thought this was quite odd, as many places have a dedicated gluten free menu and I would assume that any good chef knows how to handle this common food allergy. I don't think I'd recommend this spot for folks with a gluten allergy in the future. read more

Made a reservation for Saturday morning and had a really good experience overall. Street parking was surprisingly easy, and they also offer valet with validation which is nice. There's an Alfred Coffee on the first level too, which I loved. I got there a bit early and they let me hang out by the pool/bar area while I waited for my friends -- super chill vibe. I ordered the eggs benedict with potatoes and a side salad, and everything was really good. One of my friends got the hanger steak (didn't try it, but it looked great). I also ordered a grapefruit drink -- really refreshing. Service was attentive without being over the top, which I appreciated. Only downside for me: the pancakes. We got a half stack and they were like $12 for small ones... honestly not worth it. Also, there's an automatic 20% service charge, just something to be aware of. Bathrooms were clean, music was good, and the whole place had a fun "cute casual but still dressed up" vibe. Definitely a good spot if you're celebrating something. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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 read more

I had a reservation for brunch on a Saturday to celebrate my birthday. Although it's good to have a reservation, you could probably walk in and still get seated quickly, there were plenty of tables. Greenery growing all over giving a greenhouse vibe which was so cute. I had read many great reviews about the food but unfortunately I don't think I share the same sentiment. We ordered a few dishes and most were pretty disappointing in flavor, although they all looked absolutely beautiful. The presentation was superb. We started with the tuna tartar which was served with sweet potato chips and that was probably the best thing we had. We got a couple mocktails and lattes, the drinks were not bad actually, quite delicious and they looked so pretty too. For the entrees, we had the huevos rancheros, steak and eggs, the salmon egg benedict, and the coconut chia pudding. We sent back the chia pudding..the coconut milk was a little overpowering. The steak and eggs was good, the steak was cooked well and came with kimchi rice which was flavorful and not too spicy. However the salmon benedict was rather disappointing, the eggs were so undercooked it disintegrated. The huevos rancheros was okay, decent flavor but it was very mild. The service was great though, they were very kind and friendly, making sure we were taken care of. They did charge a 18 dollar cake fee, so keep that in mind if you're coming for a special occasion. read more

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. read more

I went with a large group here for a birthday. And we were able to select from one of their fixed menus for brunch. The menu itself was printed out and they included the birthday girl's name on it! Each dish was so good especially the guacamole dip. They had plenty of cocktails to choose from and they were all delicious and aesthetic looking. Then, I went here the second time with my family and they loved it as well. Although, parking can be difficult since it is in ktown, but they do offer valet parking. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Their interior is featured in many movies and TV shows. All in all definitely recommend this place! read more

There is simply no justification for less than 5 stars, i.e. I do not understand the overall ratings here. The restaurant is beautiful, a bit loud as the glass walls and concrete floors do not really absorb and rather echo the sounds. All the staff but with special mention to Lisa K, who waited our table, was enormously nice. Key, however, was unquestionably the delicious food which not only tasted wonderful, had a carefully balanced composition of flavors and textures, but was also presented optically in very beautiful set-ups. Definitely, the dishes are created by masters. Parking in the neighborhood is virtually impossible, but the LINA hotel, which Openair is embedded in, provides valet for 14$. read more

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. read more

I went to Openaire for brunch with friends today. I had been here once a few years ago, and was here this morning at 11 am. I remembered it's a place with a nice atmosphere, friendly service, and good brunch--and it is the same. The Eggs Benedict I ordered was absolutely delicious. The Line Breakfast was also good, but the Shrimp & Grits wasn't good. One downside was that they don't have decaf coffee, which was a bit disappointing. Parking was valet only, and with validation it was $14. read more

Had a nice Christmas Eve dinner at Openaire this year thinking being in a greenhouse under the rain would be a memorable holiday experience. (Un)luckily the rain stopped before we arrived but we still had a great dinner. The gingerbread Christmas special cocktail was delicious - very gingery. Also loved the haddock over saffron rice and the lobster bisque. Have heard much about openaire before and seen it featured on tv a few times too but this was my first visit somehow. Will certainly be back for brunch read more

We especially loved the relaxing greenhouse garden feel, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back soon to hang out and enjoy another great meal! read more

Want to start off by saying that the greenhouse really makes this place worth a visit, but it does get EXTREMELY loud in there. Came here for the dineLA menu, which offered a variety of dishes. Everything was fine, but nothing really stood out. Also should note that we were served salmon, even though the menu had another fish listed. They didn't even address this, so I'm not sure what happened there. Glad I came to visit once, but will likely not be returning again read more

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 read more

Openaire was an extremely unique place for sure. We came here the morning after a concert nearby. Though the food was delicious, the menu wasn't very big and there wasn't much to choose from.

This has been on my list for a while now for brunch and finally had a chance to try it. Disclaimer: brunch is only offered on the weekends. We went during the weekday and didn't know they didn't offer brunch menu on the weekdays. So we ended up having their lunch menu. We did make a reservation but they unfortunately gave our reserved table to another group and we got stuck with worse seats. We were a little bit annoyed by that. Service: 4/5 we did feel a little be rushed throughout the ordering process because the server came to the table 3 times within 5 minutes but rest of the service was great. Ahi tuna tartar: 4/5 fish was fresh, flavored well but the sweet potato chips were so thin that it was not the best chip to scoop up the tartar because it breaks immediately when you put the tartar on top and it can get quite messy. A thicker cut chip would be perfect. The OA 4/5: kind of like a Buddha bowl. Lots of bright veggies and you have the option to add on a protein of your choice. I chose beef. It was a little watery for my taste but the portion is definitely big. I ate half and saved the rest for lunch the next day. Above average meal for their weekday lunch menu. Maybe we'll come back again for the brunch. read more

Came here for brunch and the space is definitely the highlight. We sat inside the greenhouse area surrounded by hanging plants and natural light, super cute and Instagram-friendly. Made a same-day reservation in the morning and had no problem getting a table. We ordered the corn flake French toast and the blackened shrimp and grits. The French toast was our favorite of the two, loved the berries and the whipped cream. Overall, the food was fine but a bit pricey for the portion size. We were actually hungry again not too long after. One thing that did take away from the experience was that we felt rushed. It wasn't super busy while we were there, but we were in and out in about 45 minutes and didn't really get to relax and enjoy the space after eating. Would've understood if there was a wait, but that wasn't the case. read more

Beautiful venue. I loved the greenhouse vibe and the mixture of industrial steel with luscious greenery. The service was also exceptional. I felt well taken care of and had many kind people constantly at my side. The food is where this fell short. My group got the French toast and the eggs Benedict. The french toast was interesting with the cornflakes, but it was frankly somewhat bland and didn't provide as much flavor as promised. I was surprised by how light it was, but missed the traditional custard texture of french toast. The eggs Benedict came with poached eggs that seemed almost raw, there will still gloopy pieces of uncooked white when I broke the apart. I appreciated the overall Benedict, especially the crispy English muffin in tandem with the ham, hollandaise and egg. The breakfast potatoes were dry. The side salad lacked flavor. Frankly, the food was not worth the expensive prices. I would come back for the environment and that alone. But considering that it is a restaurant, you will not be seeing me back here. read more

Located outside on the 2nd floor of The Line hotel. This restaurants sits adjacent to their pool and in a glass greenhouse structure filled with plants, a bar, and plenty of tables. Really nice vibes if you go when people aren't at the pool as we enjoyed the sunset. Probably good for brunch but I imagine it could get warm midday. We visited for dinner - the highlights were the starters. The whipped ricotta fritters have a nice citrus flavor and tang to them. The squash blossoms come filled with burrata with a pesto style sauce and confit tomatoes. Fair warning the burrata does run out of the blossoms. So be prepared to have a plate ready to pick them up. The flavor was really good on both these dishes. For our main we ordered the dirty chicken and cauliflower. I liked that they used a mix of cauliflower and the sauce gave it a picky but crunchy and sour flavor. But, I personally wasn't a big fan of the chicken which is served as a 1/2 chicken. This is prepared oven-roasted with a crust that will remind you of shake n bake and comes with a salty au jus. Our chicken was very dry so the au just was very much needed, but the sauce just made everything taste saltier. I would stay away from the chicken if I were to come back and maybe try another main or stick with some more starters. Service was courteous and server was very welcoming. If you're staying at the Line , mention you are staying there because they will give you a discount on your check. read more

Came here on two separate occasions! Lunch: We were looking to brunch and I always forget how many places only do brunch on the weekends so their menu was limited for a Monday. We ended up getting drinks so I got The Bird which was Appleton "Signature Select" rum, fresh pineapple, campari, italicus rosolio di bergamotto, pineapple, and lime juice. Definitely on the sweet side just how I like! The salad was also delicious and comes with the option to add chicken or salmon aand we both added chicken. Brunch: Guys I don't know why when I was eating, the french dip sandwich was HITTING. Like the couple next to us asked if it was good and I was like it's amazing you must order but after I took a few more bites, I was thinking like actually it's ok. What I really should've told them to get was the steak because now that was something special!! It's served with kimchi fried rice and this perfectly sweet yet savory peppercorn sauce. It was cooked so perfect I would come back just for it! Overall, I recommend brunch over their regular menu! read more
