Otium
For one of their delectable dining options, look no further than Otium in Downtown L.A. Just a few steps from The Broad museum, the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Museum of Contemporary Art, this restaurant is the perfect space to enjoy a meal between meetings.
Designed to be a social environment, the open kitchen that merges their indoor and outdoor spaces ensures a welcome and relaxing ambiance for guests. The food draws from the culinary heritage of Chef Timothy Hollingsworth, where he mixes seasonal ingredients to create vibrant flavors. Not only does he prioritize taste in his meals, he uses sustainable ingredients grown right in the restaurant's garden. Their variety of event spaces can accommodate groups from 30 to 80 guests, with a full restaurant buyout for up to 300 attendees. Learn more about group events at Otium.
The Fields LA
One of the best parts about visiting the newly-minted Banc of California Stadium, as well as the newly-renovated Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, is the adjacent food options in Exposition Park.

The Fields LA also offers an outdoor patio space and a beer garden so groups can enjoy L.A.'s year-round near perfect weather.
