Heba-I-amSeptember 2, 2017The service there is great! Very friendly folks. Their mojito is one of the best i've had for sure, not sweet and super refreshing. I think the bartender was called Scott. He's super nice.
- Their killer kale salad features complimentary flavors and textures: salty, sweet, sour, nutty, crunchy with great mouthfeel. Satisfying and clean, it plays well with other dishes.
- One of the best restaurants in LA by far. Inventive and delicious food (foie gras funnel cake, crispy potatoes, pasta and pork belly) in a truest stunning building. Add to that impeccable service.
Brian AssidNovember 17, 2018The food and atmosphere is one of a kind & The Broad actually owns it - the servers are obviously very informative. It’s architectural design is very post century-modern. Wide range of areas to sit
- French Toast reimagined and re-engineered. Fragrant smoke clears, revealing crisp, golden toast cubes and chunks of savory, succulent, melt-in-your-mouth pork belly.
Clara BertaJanuary 7, 2016Love the delicious cocktails and sitting at the bar is a real treat! Special hamachi and amazing salmon salad and pasta out of this world! Make reservations, since they do get busy!- Connie ChiuNovember 13, 2017The foie gras funnel cake with pear is so deng tasty. The scallops and beef tartare are good, not amazing. Cloverleaf bread is worth trying. The only thing I didn’t like is the tortellini.
GQ MagazineJanuary 5, 2016A cantilevered stack of glass-and-wood boxes, surrounded by century-old olive trees, with one side covered in a massive—as in 84-feet-by-32-feet— photographic mural by Damien Hirst of swimming fish.
Hannabeth LagerlofFebruary 11, 2017Beautiful atmosphere and the food was incredible! I ordered a cappuccino and the shakshouka - an egg/tomato dish. So delicious! They had really great service as well ✨- Derek FlanzraichJanuary 3, 2018Menu’s confusing, but food’s great. Skip the house made focaccia, have the kale salad, crispy potatoes, and grilled chicken (seriously).
Caitlin TaylorSeptember 20, 2017Some of the best service I've gotten at any restaurant and equally great food. Lots of delicious items to share with the table, and really good drinks too
Kirill RyadchenkoMarch 15, 2016The interior looks great. Perfect fit to the museum. Make a reservation in advance, it is very easy on otium website. I came here for brunch and food was quite heavy.
Georg KitzJune 11, 2018we had the theater menu since we wanted to try many different things and it was amazing. they also make decent Negronis. recommended.
Andrew GaldiMay 10, 2019Consistently delicious and great service. Try the uni!!! The hamachi crudo was delicious as well as the gnocchi! Delicious cocktails
Marc-alain SpruchAugust 23, 2016Beautiful restaurant, great service, excellent food : I would recommand the patatoes and the beef steack.
Philippe BoudinotApril 1, 2017Everything we had was amazing but my taste buds really enjoyed the aged beef tartare along with the neurons cocktail...
Rachel KMarch 3, 2018Killer brunch cocktails. The cynar julep is a non-sweet version of the mint julep.
Bijoy GoswamiDecember 22, 2018Wow! Get a lot of dishes and share. Amazing food, fantastic service and timed for the 8pm shows.
miles lennonAugust 8, 2017Incredible meal. Plates of all types shared family style. The flavors were so unique and intense. Atmosphere is modern but not douchey.
Tom MooreSeptember 28, 2017Fun spot but portions too big. Ordered the tartare and tuna / watermelon thinking I was having a couple small plates. Both were huge. Bar service spotty at best also. Feel like it used to be better.- Charles T SebestaSeptember 10, 2017Great Service....was brought some take home...everything included that would have been served in the restaurant! Great!
Toia CapelliFebruary 14, 2016The polenta with truffles is worth every penny of the $50 and more. Do not miss it!
A small plate like the Amberjack and an entree like the Kurobuta Pork is enough to share for lunch.
jennifer hanMarch 9, 2016fine, not fabulous like everyone raves. i did enjoy the bucatini and steak tartare but my pants didn't bust off or anything.
Serkan SomerJune 2, 2019An expensive fast food experienceWe asked for cocktails before dinner but 6-7mins later food started to arrive and cocktails never didCheck has also arrived without asking.A disappointment
H KAugust 2, 2017We had a 8pm reservation and still weren't seated by 9:15. Good food but the service was laughable.- Fabulous first impression: kale salad, hangtown fry, and avocado toast all delicious, Dwell worthy design, vibrant energy, a powerhouse, destination worthy addition to DTLA's culture boom

"Long line but moves pretty fast. Around 30 mins wait. Green Eggs and Jam is a must try. French toast (Brioche stuffed with jam and baked) was so good."
Mohammed - 9.1
"I love this spot! Beautiful outdoor seating and delicious seasonal menu. Get the benne rolls, always. The stone bowl (nectarine with farmers cheese and ham) is bomb, if in season."

"Eclectic big name permanent contemporary collection. The special exhibits (in particular Soul of a Nation) are great. Cool building both on inside and outside. Be sure to eat at Otium when visiting."
eric bornemann - 9.4
"Amazing acoustics with no bad seat in the house. Please make it a point in your life to see at least one show here. The architecture alone is worth the visit."
Brian Chernick - 9.1
"Not a bad seat in the house, great sound quality and easy to navigate. Lots of seating outdoors before the show begins to people watch and enjoy DTLA."
