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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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.
We've been meaning to go have brunch at this restaurant and we finally found time last month to go here for Sunday Brunch. Reservation is through OpenTable and they're one of those restaurants that ask for a credit card for the reservation. I believe they said they'll charge $50 per person for no show. The restaurant is inside the Line hotel, Valet is $12 for 2 hours, highly recommend to valet as it's hard to find street parking in ktown. When we arrived since our party wasn't complete we were not seated right away. We had to wait - there were other people waiting as well and when we finally got a table - we didn't like where it was so we told the receptionist that we will wait again. It was quite busy at that time so it took maybe another 15 mins to get another table that we liked. I find the brunch menu limited, was super hungry so we ordered 2 of the hibachi steaks and 1 of the lobster chilaquiles. I ordered my steak medium rare and it's cooked perfectly. The chilaquiles has a good amount of lobster and it was very filling. Eggs were cooked just the way we wanted it. We had pistachio cake for dessert - can't remember the name. We also ordered cocktails. Nothing strikes as extra special about the food but the green house effect of the restaurant is what sets it apart, love the overall ambiance of the place. Just a note - restaurant is next to the hotel's pool so yes expect some hotel guests coming by in their swimsuits. A good place for the ladies who lunch and maybe dudes too. With cocktails, mains and desserts overall per person cost is about $70 (includes tip). read more

Came for dinner here friday night. STUNNING INTERIOR! My wife found this place and made us a reservation. Had the squash blossoms which our lovely server Quinn recommended. They were delicious. Service was amazing as we felt that everything we needed was thought of before we even had the chance to ask. My wife got the duck ragout pasta and I had the grilled branzino. Amazing. We also shared the pumpkin flan for dessert (another great recommendation) and it was out of this world! Will definitely be back! read more
If no reservation, you are offered to sit at the bar or by the pool. Bar has same menu as restaurant but pool has a separate menu. They are both first come first serve, if you found a seat you take it- We had arrived and the staff had told us to wait while he checked if there was any open space at the bar. Then, another staff member helped the party after us instead of checking with us first, which would have given them the chance to take any open seats before us, which is what I am deducting a star for. Other than that, the bartenders were nice and checked with us often if our food was good. read more
Last night we had the pleasure of trying out a place referred by a friend, and it was fabulous. The atmosphere was incredible with its hanging foliage and greenhouse effect. Our server Natalia recommended several dishes and we followed her lead, her suggestions all were amazing and she delivered with personality. All the dishes we enjoyed were delizioso. Great cocktails served flavorful and cold. I can't wait to go back to K Town for something and go back to Openaire to continue enjoying the menu as well as the ambience of this establishment. Well done and Natalia you were spot on with your recommendations. read more
this was a beautiful restaurant with amazing food. the cinnamon roll is amazing, along with the tuna tartare. i got the avocado toast with poached eggs and it was delicious. everyone loved their individual entrees. however we were a bit taken aback about the service. we had a 2:00 pm reservation for 8. an hour before the reservation the host called us and told us to be on time otherwise our reservation would be cancelled because the kitchen was closing at 2:20. personally i don't think they should've taken a reservation for 8 people at 2pm if the kitchen and bar were both closing so soon. also by 3:00 we felt so unwelcome and very very rushed. tables should at least have an hour and a half. it's definitely not anyone's fault (servers/host/chef/bartender). i think next time maybe a reservation for 2pm just shouldn't be accepted! great restaurant and great food. will be back for brunch at an earlier reservation time! read more

Thanks for the feedback, Dalia. We're really sorry to hear about your…
TL;DR Cute. Pricey. Food is secondary. Great looking spot with view of the pool. Very "instagramable" with the indoor and outdoor vibes. Brunch only offered on weekends and has a very strict time limit of 1hr 15 mins. There might be a late or cancellation fee. Check before booking. My friend and me ordered the burger with and without cheese. There was an up-cost for fries on the side (who does that?). The side salad offered needs the most work. Very sad Iceberg and wilting lettuce. The bloody is served in a short glass (preference). I like mine spicier than most so added tabasco and it was great. Ordered multiples. Service was very delayed but not due to the servers. They were kind, attentive, and apologetic. Would return but needs some tweaks to align on price point. read more
The ambiance is what most people come here for - the greenhouse with the beautiful sunlight peering through and lush plants hanging from the ceiling. Can't deny that this place really hits the spot for gorgeous photos. This restaurant is good to try out once just for the experience. While it's so aesthetically pleasing, the food is very average. I came for lunch and got the galbi beef spring bowl, which consists of roasted beet, chickpea, roasted mushroom and broccolini for $21. Unfortunately, it was not filling enough for and I left feeling hungry. Prices are extremely high for the potions. Make sure you make an indoor reservation so you can sit in the greenhouse! read more
Sunday brunch at Openaire was definitely a treat. The venue is just beautiful and offered a visually appealing environment with a great playlist of music in the background. Made reservations and opted to sit at the barl. Our original table was going to be outside, but with an opportunity to sit inside, I just had to take it. All staff from check in to table check were very friendly and helpful. Recommendations were given and well appreciated. The food was delicious and prompt. Everything just flowed and ended with a decadent mango desert. Definitely coming back to try the lobster chilaquiles. The table besides us ordered and it looked awesome! Until we meet again, Bon Appétit ~ read more

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I’m…
If you're a fan of aesthetic brunch spots, then you have to CHECK OUT OPEN AIRE. Not only is the atmosphere captivating, but the food is delicious, too. Here's what you need to know before going: make a reservation on Open Table, it's in Koreatown at the Line LA, and there's $11 hotel valet parking for 2 hours. Open Aire's known for its stunning interior that is quite literally is a greenhouse. There are hanging plants abound; you've probably never seen a restaurant take the concept of earthy tones and vibes to this level! For food, we got the Eggs Benedict, Huevos Rancheros, and Hibachi Steak with Eggs on Kimchi Fried Rice. I had the latter option and absolutely loved it. The steaky was delightfully juicy and the egg and kimchi rice combination was the perfect flavor palette to balance it all out. Keep in mind that this is a smaller portion and more expensive. I would say the most economical option is the Eggs Benedict, which was also packed with leafy greens and crispy potatoes. p.s. The new Netflix movie 'You People' features this restaurant in one of the dates the main characters go on! read more
First off the ambience is great. It's a nice looking restaurant with glass windows all around with ambient lighting. The service was okay, but could have been way better. The drinks took forever to come out as there was only one bartender on a Friday night. The food was fairly flavorful. Unfortunately, we were unaware that we would be charged for sides that came with the Dirty Chicken. Two of us ordered this dish and the waitress asked if we would like mashed potatoes or rice. She did not clarify that it would be at an additional cost. So of course we assumed it came with the sides. When we received the bill, we mentioned this and she said that she always asks what sides. For future reference it should be noted when asking that sides are not included! Overall the service was slow but the drinks were good when we finally got them and I will not be coming back here read more

I had a lovely Sunday brunch here! I would absolutely come back. The green house is stunning, even on a rainy day. The service was efficient and the ambience was lively. For food we ordered the: - French toast: great flavor and texture! the berry compote added a lot of richness that balanced everything out. - Line breakfast: ordinary, nothing special or memorable. Definitely a safe choice. ordered primarily for the pancakes but they were bland. the potatoes were the best part of this dish. - Lobster Chilaquiles: great flavor and delicious! definitely worth the price (highly recommended sharing). - Vegan sausage: well done, nice flavor but overpriced. I highly recommend Openaire. read more
Last time I was here was almost 2 years ago. The aesthetic with all the plants definitely livens up the experience here. The service is great and the ambiance is perfect to catch up with friends and big groups! We had the pig ears which sounds intimidating but it's basically spaghetti cut chicharrones, they come with an amazing citrus avocado lime aioli. The tuna tartare is perfectly paired with sweet potato chips! We also ordered the 1/2 chicken and that was very well paired with the a balsamic base and Brussels sprouts. Overall I'm glad that I got to relive the past experience form 2 years ago with the same great people and friends! read more

What can I say about Openaire? First, I have been wanting to go here for a long time and finally had the opportunity and booked my birthday brunch with friends on a Saturday. Since there is a 90min limit for guests, the hostess did not seat us until the entire party was there which I guess was nice so we can have the full experience. We did have to wait a little longer since we wanted to sit inside. And I was a bit underwhelmed by the ambience and thought the restaurant was bigger than it actually was. A friend also tried to surprise me with a bottle of wine for the table, but the restaurant has strict policies and will not take credit card info over the phone so wasn't allowed to do so (other restaurants like Geoffrey's will allow you to...my friend surprised me with 3 bottles last year for my birthday brunch with a simple phone call!). Now onto the good stuff...the food!! We ordered different things so we can share everything and they were all delicious! We had the avocado toast with salmon, lobster chilaquiles, hibachi steak, and eggs benedict with crab cakes! AH-MA-ZING!!! We also had the best server, Valindo, and made the experience even better. The food + our server was great and giving them 5 Stars! But because we had a good time and good food, I'm giving it a 4. Quick tip: the restaurant is inside the Line Hotel on the 2nd floor. There is valet parking and the restaurant validates but be ready to pay around $17 for valet parking (card only) so carpool if you can. read more
Greenhouse seating is where it's at. When I made my reservation on OpenTable, I asked to please be seated in the green house. We waited a tad longer at check in, but it was so worth it! Smaller than I expected, but just as neat as I hoped. Our service was good, not spectacular, but nothing to complain about. Everyone said their food was good. The pancake breakfast, frozen yogurt bowl and the crunch French toast were had. The French toast was amazing. The bananas and the caramel sauce was pure perfection. I would for sure come back just for that! Prices are steep, but it's LA and a unique spot, so it's to be expected. Valet parking was $12 with validation from the restaurant host. read more

It's the second time I come to this place and I can only say that I love it, the place is beautiful, the food is very good omg I'm obsessed with those corn flake French toast, but definitely my favorite part is having breakfast in one of the tables outside and have those cute little thieves (little birds) come and steal my food and my heart Overall 9/10 Food is 8/10 (I think they need more variety) Service 7/10 Place 15/10 Ambiance 9/10 read more
Safe to say, I love openaire! Been here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I love their greenhouse full of plants on the ceiling! Parking here is with the valet downstairs and they give you validation (you still have to pay a certain amount but worth it) I made a resy in advance and got seated right away. The server gave us water and got us menus kindly. I honestly love the ambiance in the greenhouse! During the morning moreso. The food is definitely better during lunch and dinner but having breakfast here also is great if you want to beat the high volume of people coming in. I liked the simple Line Breakfast with the potatoes. Big portions as well. Love this place and I hope you get to experience the greenhouse vibes as well. read more
I really felt this place was overhyped with mediocre food. We went with the recommendations of the server, and everything was ok, but nothing stood out. The place itself is super cute! Definitely beautiful- a nice view for a brunch spot, but the food is not there. You can bring coffee up from downstairs which is what we did. Overall just a vibe but food was nothing to boast about. read more
Cute restaurant but we weren't seated inside with all the plants!! That's the whole point of going for the ambiance and we couldn't even experience that. Street parking is very limited (standard LA) so we valet parked and got it validated after brunch. It's a hotel restaurant so of course it's going to be on the pricier side. The food is plated beautifully though and the November weather was pleasant for a weekend brunch with the girls. My LA Woman cocktail was light and not too spirit forward. A good afternoon refreshment. Gin & lavender are truly a great combination. Yes, I got the basic avocado toast but sometimes it tastes so much better when someone makes it for you LOL. I was satisfied with it. However, the hibachi grilled flat iron steak was not very good and the huevos rancheros were mid. The utensils and glassware were also scratched/beat up and I'm not too sure they were intentionally going for that rustic look...Also, beware that they will charge you if you try to cancel your reservation. Make sure to show up!! I will probably not be back. read more

It's unfortunate that the grim food reviews for Openaire proved true on our brunch visit: -- my avocado toast ($20) was meagerly smeared with avocado & topped with an inordinate amount of grassy-tasting sprouts. I requested the poached eggs ($5) to be prepared medium but it came out raw & runny. -- dry outer layer on the warm cinnamon roll with lemon cream cheese frosting ($16) but the insides were indeed warm & nicely frosted. -- and finally, my companion's smoked salmon plate ($30) was inferior to similar salmon platters from other restaurants. As abysmal as the menu offerings were, our overall impression of Openaire remains mostly favorable thanks to the warm hostess who sat us near a gorgeous pool view; our waiter who gave helpful recommendations; & the rest of the friendly waitstaff who were always on hand with a smile. The eye-catching greenhouse that houses Openaire is located on the second floor of the Line Hotel. Valet parking costs $12 for two hours, which I recommend, as street parking was scarce. Come for the fun vibes, throwback r&b, & great service, but know that food takes a backseat to the atmosphere. read more
Openaire is cute, but can get crowded. I asked to be indoors on the reservation but upon arrival they only had outdoor; thankfully they had heaters. The food itself is pretty tasty but not as good as I expected. The Benedicts were goods, the shrimp and grits was okay, the french toast was pretty bad (not sure if its because it was so cold out but the dish came out cold and stale; the corn flakes seemed old/no "crunch" factor). The best dish was the tartar. They have valet parking that can be validated at the restaurant. Staff was also 50/50; some were nice, some not and things took a long time to come (to go boxes, drinks, extra napkins, etc). read more

The place, the service and the drinks are 10/10 but the food is not as good as I was expecting. I got the LA Women drink and the bowl with salmon and rice. The salmon seasoning wasn't my favorite. Our server was amazing - he even spoke Spanish with me and my friends and recommended us a place to go for some nice pictures of the Hollywood sign. read more
Make sure you do a reservation!! It'll make your experience a lot better, instead of waiting 30+ minutes for your table. We reserved 'indoor' seating in the greenhouse, but we ended up sitting outside because the waitress emphasized that the wait to eat indoors was going to be an extremely long wait. We opted to just sit outside but the area was still nice on the outside! The food I tried: *Ahi Tuna Tartare: This was my favorite dish! This came with avocado, cucumber, and citrus vinaigrette. The tuna and avocado paired so well with the citrus vinaigrette. The chips were too thin, but they were crisp and crunchy! *Eggs Benedict (Smoked Salmon): This was super filling! Eggs benedict with smoked salmon is always my go-to for brunch places. This dish was okay with flavor, but there was nothing too spectacular about this dish. The potatoes were crispy, but some were still undercooked and hard. A few tips if you plan to stop by this restaurant: - Let them know it's your birthday for a complimentary birthday slice! - If you're parking at the Line Hotel with valet, you can validate your parking with the hostess at the front. read more

We came to try their 2024 DineLa tasting menu. I loved the restaurant vibes with the open setting and the greenery from the plants The servers were really kind to us as well. The food was definitely cooked well, I appreciated that the shrimp we had was not overcooked and still tender/juicy. The sweet potatoes were baked to perfection, and it was easy to separate the skin. I think the food tasted good, but was just a little bit let down as it didn't seem extraordinary. I might've also had some expectations because we were coming for DineLA, but I'm looking forward to coming here again to try other dishes! read more
Really cool atmosphere, great service at the bar and friendly table service. However, the food was good but no wow factor. My wife and I celebrated the seventh year anniversary of our "first date" and decided to have dinner at Openaire which was a sharp contrast to the strip mall Thai restaurant we went to on our first date. To start, we ordered the Milk Bread w/nori butter. My wife loved the soft and chewy texture but I wasn't as sold on it for the $11 they charged. Honestly, Hawaiian bread rolls would have outdone these milk bread rolls. The tuna tartar was probably the highlight of the dinner. A nice blend of creamy avocado and tart yuzu citrus vying for the attention of your taste buds. That blend of flavor coupled with the crispiness of the chips and firmness of the fresh ahi tuna made for a delightful appetizer. My wife had the duck tagliatelle. Perhaps they tried to do too much with this dish because the flavor of the duck seemed to have gotten lost in the mix of the ingredients that made up the rich sauce. I ordered their wagyu sirloin, cooked blue. I'll give props to whoever was cooking the steak, because it was perfect. However, the sliced sirloin was placed on top of a sauce that unfortunately didn't do the dish any favors and was the weak link. If it was just a dry rub on the sirloin, this dish would have been a home run. Fortunately, I had a glass of red wine that paired beautifully with it. I only wish I could remember which red wine I chose. Finally the dessert! I ordered the raspberry crepe cake. Unfortunately, it was a dud. The crepe was lacking in flavor but the texture was interesting. I was really hoping that the raspberries on the side would help to bail out the cake but to my disbelief, they were as insipid as the cake! No flavor, sweetness or tartness. Is it because it's January and not raspberry season? If so, why even try to create a dish around an ingredient that's not going to be at its peak? read more

My linesister and her sister came to LA for her birthday over this past weekend. We had a laundry list of things to do and you know eating was one of them. We came to this restaurant for brunch and we all got the steak and eggs with kimchi rice. They don't do substitutions for food or drinks. For example , I don't eat eggs so I asked for potatoes instead . Our server said he would ask the chef and unfortunately they couldn't accommodate. Also, the kimchi rice has bacon and again, they were not able to accommodate me . (I didn't want bacon in my eggs) They have bottomless mimosas, but it comes premixed and they do not make accommodations for those who are allergic to oranges.. aside from that , the food was pretty good and I enjoyed my meal. Now, this is where the review will take a turn , we asked for our bill to be split - our server Jacob was able to split our bill with ease BUT he charged one card for the whole bill . He accidentally swiped it twice and then he added the tip on the card without asking. Thank goodness her sister has email notifications on. Had she not been notified he would have gotten a double tip. We had to talk to the manager. The manager was really nice and tried to rectify the situation. Overall, the food is pretty good and the server was attentive ... he just tried to take additional money smh. Please be careful when you're dining here or have cash only . We only had a party of three .. would I go again? If I dont have cash, probably not. read more

The food was delicious. The ahi tuna tartare was our favorite and the tempura squash blossoms. I also loved the butternut squash agnolotti. The service was excellent! The ambiance is stunning! I definitely will come back and bring some more friends to experience this place. Well done Openaire! read more

Second time at Openaire and both times it has been great service and aesthetic foods. We came here for brunch on the second floor with a reservation and were seated very quickly upon arrival. (Tip - they do validate for parking at the hotel but I like to park across the street in a parking garage. On Saturday and Sundays, it's a flat fee of 5 dollars and only 1-2 blocks away from Openaire) We got the French toast and flat iron steak and eggs. The French toast had a lot of berries. In the description, it said there was yuzu but that flavor wasn't too prevalent, it went unnoticed. The flat iron steak and eggs came with kimchi fried rice which was okay but the sauce on the steak is so delicious. Very soy garlic forward. I took a bite of my friend's pancakes. The pancakes were very tasty! Honestly, it's a great place to go with friends for brunch. The suns not too high so it doesn't get too warm in the greenhouse. Everything about it is aesthetic but also a bit pricey. But you'll be able to take good pictures if that is what you are into. read more
I enjoyed pretty much every aspect of this place! Very convenient and outstanding restaurant if you are staying at the connected the LINE hotel. Perfect spot for breakfast/brunch! We made a reservation where you can request to be seated inside the greenhouse, which I highly encourage everyone to do if possible. The ambiance inside the greenhouse is everything and will boost your mood! Our table shared the Tuna Tartare which I would definitely! Tasted wonderful and the presentation was great. We requested extra chips since there isn't that many served with the original portion. I had the salmon eggs benedict, which is always a great option. The eggs were perfect and the salmon was fresh. I enjoyed the potatoes and side salad it came with. Overall, had an amazing experience at Openaire and would visit again! read more
Came for the decor and while it was pretty cool to be in a greenhouse rooftop, it was meh. You have to go to the Line hotel and take elevators up. They offer valet for $10 I believe or you can hunt for street parking. Menu is limited and pricey. Cocktails are also very icy and taste just ok. We got the cinnamon roll, it was lemony but not overpowered. Steak and rice dish was oily and added lobster didn't really do much to the dish. Service was good though. Probably won't be back. It's worth a one time visit, maybe. read more

Openaire offers, what feels like, fresh-farm-to-table menu items. A great spot for breakfast or brunch, offering eggs with beautifully rich and vibrant yolks, a wonderful deconstructed smoked salmon bagel plate, and a fantastically balanced French toast! Their lunch/dinner menu also has some delicious picks, including the tuna tartare The service is pretty mid, but I've never had an unpleasant experience eating at the pool-side restaurant. Great atmosphere and the hotel staff is always a dream! read more
I went here to celebrate my friend's birthday and the experience wasn't the best. I ordered the crab benedict which was bland and didn't leave a lasting impression. The potatoes were overcooked making them crunchy. As for the birthday dessert which was the chocolate crunch cake, it was delicious, decadent, crisp and I enjoyed every bite. The service was non existent as we did not know who our waiter was so we had to waive down multiple waiters to help us and it would take a long time to waive someone down. Also, another downside were the multiple additional fees that they charge. Even though the experience was lackluster, I thoroughly enjoyed the setting which was lovely with an open space concept filled with lush indoor plants. read more
This is the kind of place you will find a lot of people coming to just for aesthetics, and it's really is beautiful! The food is pretty decent overall, with smaller than average portions. We got the steak and eggs and banana French toast which were tasty, albeit easy for just one person to eat! Definitely would recommend ordering tapas style and getting a few plates! Service was attentive, and overall we had a great time! Would recommend a visit read more

Ask the Community - Openaire
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.
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)
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.
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
