The food was amazing and the service was great as well. Eric was our server and he did a great job taking care of our table. The hostess also had a great attitude and was really friendly and helpful.

Located inside the LINE hotel. It boasts greenhouse garden like setting inside, it needs more plants! The service is friendly, the vibes are good, can get very noisy when large groups are also dining. Hoping for a “cozy, romantic” anniversary dinner but didn’t really experience that here. Was seated right in front of a HUGE LED advertising Sign in the next door building! The appetizers were delicious but portions are on the small side. Except for the shared entree - we ordered duck confit over a gigantic plate of kimchi rice. Unnecessarily generous portion of the rice in proportion to the protein. I’m also unsure if the duck confit-kimchi rice pairing worked as well. Desert was ok too. Semi-validated Valet parking in hotel.

Perfect for a date. Beautiful glass dome nicely decorated with a nice bar in the background. We went for dinner but are strongly encouraged to go back for brunch. We tried two cocktails and both were great. We shared the ricotta fritters to start, very small portion but my girlfriend loved them (I thought they were alright). As mains we shared the kale ceasar salad and the duck confit. The salad was very disappointing but the duck was the star of the show. It is a very big portion so take that into account when ordering. The kimchi fried rice was delicious and paired perfectly. Would come back!

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.

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? Sure, for the vibes and food. Would I return for a themed event? A hard no!
