Open Sesame

Consider Open Sesame if the priority is a casual Los Angeles option with verified late-afternoon-to-evening flexibility on weekdays and earlier openings from Thursday through Sunday. The confirmed details are limited: Open Sesame is in Los Angeles, the dress code is casual, the posted hours run Mon–Wed 3–10 PM, Thu 12–10 PM, Fri–Sat 12–11 PM, Sun 12–10 PM.

Use it for flexible plans in Los Angeles

The decision is best framed around timing rather than unverified claims about cuisine, chef credentials, awards, price, seating, or a beverage program. Open Sesame opens at 3 PM Monday through Wednesday, at 12 PM Thursday through Sunday, stays open until 10 PM most nights, with later 11 PM closes on Friday and Saturday. That gives you verified timing to work with when planning a Los Angeles day.

Because the verified information does not include a confirmed price tier, cuisine label, chef detail, seat count, or awards signal, treat it as a casual planning option rather than a special-occasion anchor. If your plans depend on a specific menu style, bottle list, dietary accommodation, takeout option, or reservation format, confirm those details directly before going. For broader planning, scan our full Los Angeles restaurants guide, then cross-check other dining with our full Los Angeles bars guide if drinks are part of the evening.

Better as a casual timing-based choice than a heavily documented option

The safest reason to choose Open Sesame is its verified schedule and casual dress code. It is open daily, with afternoon starts early in the week and 12 PM openings from Thursday through Sunday. Beyond that, the available facts do not confirm a specific cuisine, service style, wine program, price point, or accolade history, so avoid building the night around those assumptions.

For decision-making, compare Open Sesame with other Los Angeles options based on the kind of outing you want and the details each venue confirms. Angelini Osteria, Terroni, El Coyote, Escuela Taqueria, Shaky Alibi may all be worth considering in a broader Los Angeles plan, but confirm current hours, format, menu details directly before choosing. If the plan expands beyond dinner, use our full Los Angeles hotels guide, our full Los Angeles wineries guide, our full Los Angeles experiences guide.

Quick reference: choose Open Sesame for a casual Los Angeles option with verified daily hours; choose another option if you need confirmed details on cuisine, price, beverage program, or a specific service format.
