"Open the Door - Live at Mietta's" is a collaborative live album by Jex Saarelaht and Kate Ceberano. The album was recorded in February 1992 on an 8-track tape at Mietta's Restaurant and released in November 1992. The album contains 7 jazz standard, sung by Ceberano and 6 instrumental original tracks by Saarelaht.
In Ceberano's autobiography, "I'm Talking" she said she and O'Donnell had been friends for years adding "Mietta's was a Melbourne institution. It was like a European coffee house where patrons could eat while enjoying poetry readings, jazz, opera, comedy - Mietta had such eclectic tastes you never know who she'd invite to perform there."
The owner of Mietta's Restaurant, Mietta O'Donnell said "Kate is a warm chocolate tart".
In February 1996, Ceberano married Lee Rogers at Mietta's restaurant.
