Halo

Despite having been opened for something like 2 years, Halo has been a practically deserted building the entire time. They only have two open businesses: Danny Boys Pizza and Shake Shack. They’ve been advertising Trejo’s Donuts for over 2 years and it hasn’t showed any signs of opening. There must be 8-10 vacant spaces with no progress being made. There is technically parking but it is not free. Street parking in the area is full 50% of the time and restricted the other 50% of the time. The building is gorgeous. There is a lot of potential. It’s obvious, even to an outsider, that Halo is asking FAR too much for rent and that’s why it’s been sitting empty for years just like half of DTLA. Oh, and despite having dozens of apartment buildings nearby, everything here closes at or before 5pm on weekdays and the entire place is closed on Sunday. I would get dinner here regularly if it was open, but it’s clear they only care about the lunch rush from nearby offices while ignoring the plentiful nearby neighbors. So, in summary, a nice building with tons of potential, all wasted because of real estate corporate greed and extremely poor management.

Very clean and refined… I love the atmosphere here and really spacious seating… I would recommend this spot to normal people… lol

I stumbled upon this space today and it’s so beautiful and peaceful. Will definitely be back to grab some Shake Shack or a taco and get some work done (they have ample seating and plug ins). The only downside is it’s not really open late/weekends which makes sense for the area but still it would be nice to stop in here for a nice respite from the noise of LA after visiting museums & biking on the weekend.

I'm not sure what to say about this place as I visited for an L.A. Magazine food event, so the food, service and crowd was atypical. It appears to be intended as a food hall a la Smorgasburg or DeKalb Market in NYC or Grand Central Market in DTLA, but with a more corporate atmosphere, less character and less convenience of access. The space itself, architecturally, is completely in the background which worked for the style of event I attended. The circulation could use a lot of work, with the central collection of booths forming a wall and forcing visitors to move around the outside of the space instead of through. It's a bizarre space to move through but it was adequate for our needs, if a little annoying. Right now, it seems like the only permanent vendors are Danny Boy's pizza and Shake Shack and you can't really go wrong there if you like their styles of pizza and burgers. The rest of the vendor spaces are closed and surrounded by temporary walls advertising the space itself. If I go to Halo outside of an event, I'll update this review with my thoughts.

There are other food vendors inside. Also, banquet seating area with outlets. Nice and clam ambiance. Also, nick and stef's Steakhouse is located in the outside court. Halo is located in a business area. Just check their hours of operation. Enjoy
