"You know how sometimes you find a place that you hope will replace one that you lost during the pandemic? That was my initial feeling about Open Face Food Shop (OFFS). But it was not true in this case. At first I was a little (enormously) disappointed and then I just settled in for something new. I won 't mention the name of the old place we used to go. Some of you may have an idea but as Comparison is the thief of Joy it really doesn 't matter. OFFS name is a trifle misleading. As they even admit it may say a lot but it doesn 't tell the whole story (apologies should I have made some small misstatement). First of all the influence is Danish (this is what caught my interest in the first place). And even though there is a significant number of Open Face items on the menu there are some that don 't follow the same theme. The burger is an excellent example. It most certainly comes with a top and was very tasty as my wife will happily attest. I opted for the Oregon Bay Shrimp Roll . This was very good but... The brioche roll is created out of a very thick piece of toasted bread that is mildly awkward to consume. While I was able to navigate it successfully I generally hope that something that falls into the sandwich category is a little easier to eat. But of course, that 's just me. It was quite generous if you like shrimp (I do) and the flavor and texture compared very favorably with an old favorite. The salad that accompanied my shrimp roll was more than worth mentioning (as was the pickled celery). So you know, at this juncture it kind of seems like I might be pushing to come up with a 5 star review. But no. It 's a little too soon. There are a few little kinks to work out. The owners are apparently successful caterers who have now decided to make the jump to going brick mortar . I say Bravo! to them. They are obviously accomplished professionals. Right now they seem only slightly out of sync. When we showed up on Sunday there was a little confusion as to whether or not we were supposed to order online or if we could be seated and order from a traditional menu. We ended up being seated in a nicely appointed outdoor seating area. Very comfortable it was and we truly enjoyed our meal. We felt both engaged and well cared for. I 'm sure we will be back and no doubt I will be revisiting this review. Actually I will very much be looking forward to doing so. OFFS is a winner."

Cod was DISGUSTING. Overall the open face sandwiches were not worth it. Best was like a 4/10. Save your money, go elsewhere : View menu

I recently tried the BLT sandwich at this restaurant with a fried egg, crisp bacon, tomato, and cheese. The service was excellent and the daily changing menu offers a variety of interesting lunch options. I will definitely be returning today.

The incredible food at this restaurant is complemented by exceptional service. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience, especially the signature sparkling drinks. I opted for the simple salad and highly recommend it for a light lunch. My daughter had the burger and absolutely loved it.

Surprisingly, this has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat. The open-faced BLT had wonderfully creamy eggs and a delicious bacon jam, paired with the sweetest in-season tomatoes I’ve ever tasted. The shrimp rolls were also a hit, with perfectly sized shrimp and what I believe were fried capers, all served on fluffy, slightly toasted rolls. The dishes were not only well-prepared, but the ingredients themselves were top-notch - better than anything you can find around here. The chef clearly knows what she is doing. The owners were friendly, welcoming, and funny. We will definitely be returning. A+ all around! View menu

Wow. Came here on a Saturday morning for brunch because our friend stumbled upon this place on Yelp and we were curious. We ordered five items between the three of us and we were not disappointed. The owner of the restaurant took the time to carefully explain his favorite dishes on the menu and how him and his wife share a passion for food and good ingredients. We ordered the Slow Scramble Smoked Salmon Brunch, Breakfast BLT, Hakke Bof, The Great Dane Danish Hot Dog, Smorgastarta, and some Joshua Tree cold brews. Everything was delicious but the Breakfast BLT was my favorite. You can tell there was a lot of thought put into every dish. We loved the ambiance of the cafe as well. They have a c...

Located in La Brea, this hidden gem is a must try for anyone in the area! It was my first time trying Danish/Scandinavian food and it was superb! Our server James provided excellent customer service. For my dish, I ordered the Seafood Smorgastarta and James recommended the lemon sour to pair with it. He checked up frequently to make sure everything was well and even provided us a little contraption to put on our table to keep away the flies! The food was top notch, the shrimp in the sandwich was fresh, the egg salad was creamy, and the smoked salmon was delicious. Every item paired perfectly and complimented each other so that every bite is heavenly! I don't really like tomatoes but the ones...
