For a desert covered in concrete, Los Angeles has some fertile soil. And if you dig lower than dirt, you reach loam. Where the good stuff sprouts.

As the sun rises, so does LOAM with daily breakfast and weekend brunch menus celebrating the season’s finest ingredients grown by Southern California’s top organic farmers. From their fields to your table, it’s farm fresh fare served in the heart of metropolitan Los Angeles that’s sure to satisfy, and get your day started right.

You can find us on the ground floor of the historic Ace Hotel Downtown Los Angeles. Our doors open at 6AM every morning with fresh-brewed coffee and espresso, and our kitchen fires up soon after.

If sunsets are more your thing, we welcome you to ride the elevator to Upstairs, our rooftop neighbor serving up craft cocktails, small plates, dance parties and panoramic city vistas.

    Made a reservation for “Disco Brunch” Saturday. I arrived and was created very rudely by the front desk girl from the hotel who laughed at us said that’s on Sundays. So I showed her my reservation that they should change the availability for “Disco Brunch” to only Sundays (just a suggestion as I am a Maitre’d) and she literally just stared at me with no response and a straight face. It was awkward and uncomfortable. We just went up to the roof and had some appetizers and drinks and left. The server we had upstairs was lovely though!

    Breakfast burrito was good, it was 9:30am & they were already out of pancakes. It’s part of the Ace hotel so the location worked for breakfast since we were staying there.

    They had great food and great service. Would definitely come back again. I had the marsala udon and it hit all the best parts of a fatty noodle umami dish with mushrooms and an amazing creamy sauce. My boyfriend had the seafood cavatelli which was a perfect balance of spicy and delicious. Just an overall great time and would highly recommend. Great vibe and relaxing time.

    Service here is top notch. This enhances the food, which is already great to begin with. We had the chilaqiules and lemon ricotta hotcakes for brunch. Our server offered sharing plates and that was such a great call. 10/10

    Great space & service but the food was just ok and not worth the price point. I got the chicken, which had a good flavor, but it was just a chicken breast with sauce, no vegetables or grain.

    Thanks for your feedback Rebekah. We appreciate you taking the time to share. We're glad you enjoyed the space and service. Our Five Spice Roasted Free Range Chicken features fresh produce like peaches and endives. We recommend adding the broccolini or carrots as a side for a more filling meal. We hope you'll join us again soon.

    We all chose the steak in hopes we’d get a full meal but it was plated with two mushrooms, and a shmear of potato. It’s important people know that. Fries are great! And pork belly salad was great as well.. could’ve been a larger portion but this isssss LA.

    The ambiance is great; the food is hit or miss. Our server was super kind, fun, and easy to work with - but the kitchen was very slow. Plates came a bit staggered, drinks took an age to get made. We had a great time, but it wasn’t the smoothest dining experience. The appetizers are all good. The hamachi was excellent. Folks seemed okay but unimpressed with the portobello burgers. I don’t think the chicken was a fave.

    Honestly, it wasn’t a great experience. Our server came over after a while of being there and gave us little glasses of water and then we didn’t see him for 20 minutes. He then came back and took our drink order, which was another 40 minutes. We all ordered together, but two peoples dishes came out about 20 minutes before the others, so we all ate at different times which sucked. The drinks finally came after two people were already done with their dinner and the waiter comped them because they took so long so that was at least nice. The food was subpar, nothing special and literally everyone around us was ordering the burger because it’s the only substantial thing on the menu besides pasta. I wouldn’t go back.

    LOAM promises to get you to the theatre (right next door) on time. But our waiter forgot our order, was seen just wandering around. Came back with two orders not ordered. We were seated behind a column when there were plenty of other interesting seats. One meal was tiny - though the same price as the other. We got there in time for Happy Hour but were told we had to sit at the bar - which was full....

    We were attending a show at the Ace theater and wanted some thing close by to have dinner before the show. This was the perfect choice! Basically attached to the hotel and the theater, this is a wonderful option. I’m glad we made a reservation as it got busy towards showtime. We were sat immediately and the staff was welcoming and helpful. The drinks were amazing and the food was very good. The ambience is wonderful.

    Our reservation was for 6:30, early enough to also make a show afterwards. We were seated upstairs right away and our server came to get our order in a timely fashion. But he missed several opportunities to bring us the setup (napkin, cutlery) we requested, which we finally got from the person who brought us our food. When we finished the main meal (which was good, although $10 for bread and butter is pretty pricey, even if the butter is "cultured"), we were tempted to check for dessert, as we had just enough time. However, we never saw our server again, despite asking the host, who assured us that the server would be there soon. We waited so long that we decided we only had time to close out our check. Still, no one arrived. We left the table and hovered by the register to pay and saw there were many dissatisfied people gathered there, craning their necks in search of a table or some attention. At the show later, we met a group that, despite having reservations, had waited for half an hour to be seated before being told by the host that they should just leave. Not sure if this was a bad night or typical of their service.

    The restaurant and service were fine, LOAM seems like the type of place that is always fairly relaxed and under-attended, so the staff seems very stressed free maybe even a little bored. My date and I had dinner there this past January, that night we were the only patrons! We had the whole place to ourselves and the food was great. I had the burger he had the skirt steak, and coffee. This second trip we ordered the scallops and NA Cocktails Gardener’s Dream. The scallop dish was very bland and not worth ordering. The drinks however, we’re delicious and nuanced, definitely recommend. For mains I ordered the skirt steak, which I was looking forward to after our last visit and he ordered risotto. My steak tasted like it was spoiled and his risotto (farro risotto) looked like dog food—maybe one of the ugliest dishes I’ve seen in awhile. LOAM is not an inexpensive restaurant. For the price you can have a much more delicious meal at countless other places nearby. But if you don’t have reservations and need a place to eat in a pinch you are always going to be able to find a table at LOAM.

    Just dined at LOAM while my daughter and a friend were at the theater. For that, the location is perfect. I was hoping for a great evening but overall it was a disappointment. We were seating upstairs, tucked away which was not a real big deal because we still had a view of the ‘hussle and bussle’ of the restaurant. Our waiter was very nice and helpful, pointing out the favorites and NOT-favorites of the menu, which we appreciated. After consideration I had the veggie burger and my husband the burger. Both were very underwhelming. The veggie burger was super dry and the burger was dense and hard. The fingerling potatoes were good. Overal it was good for spending our time there waiting for the show to be over but we will not be back.

    Waited 45 minutes for food to arrive and it never did. Other people who got there after us were served. Finally left without eating since we had theater tickets. Bread was served but four slices of bread for five people for which we paid $10. Will never go back.

    We were staying at the Ace Hotel. Waited for 30 min to be seated, though pre-booked dinner. Then were told the kitchen was closing, but they finally accommodated us. They were out of one of the preset menu dishes, which was a bit frustrating. They tried to make up for it with 2 glasses of wine on the house, but not the romantic experience I was hoping for on Valentine's Day...

    Honestly the worst dining experience I’ve had in LA. Extremely overpriced for low portioned food that was subpar at best and the slowest service I’ve ever had. Even worse that we had to wait 20 minutes when we already had a reservation. Hard pass.

    I asked for the steak medium well and received it entirely pink and medium rare. Our dinner arrived at 10:20 when our reservation was at 9, our cocktails were poured extremely heavily to the point of being undrinkable. I wanted something to pair with my dinner not to end up drunk. We were seated in the center and the line of people with reservations were just gawking in anger and boredom at us the entire time. Horrible seating placement, really uncomfortable vibe. The food was disappointing and the fingerling potatoes were undercooked. I don’t think I had any moment of the night where I said “this made it worth it” incredibly disappointing for the Ace Hotel .

    Food was very good. Service was abysmal. Waited an hour after ordering drinks before we learned they lost our ticket. We ended up being at the restaurant 3 hours. Waitress continually forgot whose food was whose, forgot to clear plates, forgot to bring check, etc. We felt like we were stuck in this restaurant and could not leave. It was like purgatory. Additionally, as we were waiting for our ride, we heard our waitress and another staff talk negatively about another customer. Overall this was a nice place ruined by horrible service. Would not recommend this place for a date.
