This place sustained me during the pandemic with their take home produce kits. Been a while since I have been back, but does not disappoint!

To say that this place is a hidden gem is an understatement... The owners opened this unassuming, neighborhood restaurant after a successful catering business. Since it is technically Danish/Scandinavian food, I wasn't sure what to expect. But the owner/server is very passionate about serving the best farm-to-table experience. And was able to recommend what dishes featured the freshest ingredients they had available that day. I tried the shrimp open face sandwich special with tomatoes upon his recommendation. This may have been the freshest produce I've ever had in LA. The tomatoes tasted like they were picked off the vine right there. Bursting with flavor. And only on the menu for a limited time as they were in season. The shrimp was equally as fresh. Almost as if they were caught that day. All served open-faced on a perfectly light buttered, toasted slice of bread. Overall the food is fairly priced for the freshness and quality of the ingredients. A must visit if you care about fresh, organic produce. I'm looking forward to trying some of the other dishes on the menu.

Full disclosure: I'm officially a regular at Open Face Food Shop, haha. I'm always excited to be welcomed by Mark, his wife (the amazing Chef) and staff whenever I visit. Their hidden back patio is very welcoming. My favorite items are the various flavors of sparkling shrub drink, branzino dishes, olive oil cake, potatoes, any salmon dishes, and the Virginia ham breakfast sandwich. The ingredients are very fresh, picked straight from the farmer's market. Everything is made from scratch and super creative. I recommend to any friends looking for something new. It's a Danish/SoCal hybrid cuisine.

An exquisite experience. Must Must MUST come here. Perfection... the food, the service, the atmosphere. This place is a treasure. Ring the bell at the front windows and the server will appear and escort you to your seat. We had the Danish Sandwiches, the potatoes, a coffee, and 2 Shrubs - one strawberry and one apple. Nothing could be improved about our experience. I will stop here every time I'm in the area. Don't miss their store across the street too. The dining area is outside so you may want to bing a light jacket.

Great food and the warmest staff that really made me feel welcome. Came here for brunch on the weekend and definitely will be coming back! Good amount of variety on the menu, and I ordered the branzino sandwich, which was delicious! The fish had a great texture--crispy skin and tender flesh--and the sandwich was very filling, although definitely a mouthful between the buns, fish, and toppings! The warmth of the staff really set this place apart for me. Our server was very friendly and attentive, even though we were sitting on the patio in the front. The owner came out a few times to check in on us and talk about his focus on community when building the restaurant. He even offered us some fresh herbs from the garden for us to take home! Overall, fantastic spot run by wonderful people.

My friend took me here for our first time and it's a little hidden gem. Hidden in the back is a patio for outdoor seating. The restaurant is a small husband and wife operation. The menu is Danish inspired (from the wife). I'm so excited I had the chance to try a Danish meal -- I've only ever had Danish pastries so this was a treat! The hamburger on top of a bed of chopped Brussels sprouts topped with 3 hour caramelized onions was a very enjoyable dish. I ate the whole thing! My friend had the smorgasbord torta that's meant to look like a cake (but is savory). Service was top notch from the owner himself. Overall great experience!

Excited to try this little outdoor place for open-faced sandwiches!! Recommended by a friend and my husband and I were hooked. Mark, the proprietor, was very engaging and enthusiastic about the food on offer. The recommended drink Apple Shrub was refreshing. Its three main ingredients are apples, sugar, and vinegar. It wasn't too sweet and acidic. The drink is close to kambucha. The Curry Tuna, Open-Face, and Branzino sandwiches were all excellent with generous portions. Oh yes the Hot Dog was yummy too! If you're in the neighborhood, do drop by in this little place called Open Face!

Stumbled upon this place for brunch a little ago. There is this mushroom dish that's PHENOMENAL and a must. Owner gave us a breakdown of how it's made but I forgot. The mushroom dish was 6/5 stars. So unique Also got this smoked salmon/ steak dish we shared that was only ok. Service is really good. Seating area is small but chill vibes. Relaxed atmosphere

Marvelous fresh produce on sandwiches and sides A great brunch Open face sandwiches on excellent bread Side of potatoes- I could just eat those Side of broiled carrots - superb Service from the co-owner was gracious and thought provoking - zen of coffee bubbles!! Great Black Coffee West Adam's parking roulette only downside I will be back to try more dishes and sides

Wow! Went here on a whim today for lunch, something casual. We've stumbled across something truly special, not only is Mark is incredibly lovely, but the food is truly spectacular. My husband had the hot dog, which was absolutely incredible (the picture tells you everything you need to know, delish!) and I had two open faced sandwiches - one being the Icelandic Cod (spectacular, the potatoes on top were to die for) and the other being egg salad with pickled herring (also fantastic). In addition to all this, we tried 3 flavors of the "sparkling shrub" drinks which were fabulous and the perfect amount of tartness! Judging by the insane amount of "regulars" we noticed, this place has consistent high standards, and we loved both the food and ambience. Definitely will return, lovely and very special spot!
