I've been going to Hatchet Hall for years and have always had the best experiences. Whether I sit at the bar, come for brunch, or come for dinner, the food and drinks are always top notch and the service is impeccable. My absolute favorite item on the dinner menu is the turkey meatloaf -- do not skip it!!

Eastern medicine drink

Ambiance: large space, open tented area and nice bar/seated area; we sat out in the tented area with lots of space. Our table was a little wobbly. Service: attentive, friendly Food: Cast iron cornbread - good flavors but heavy, they forgot to bring it out initially so we ended up getting it at the end of our meal which I preferred Hamachi crudo - also good flavors but fish could have been cut thinner Butter dates - too sweet, no balance Potato rolls - one of my favorites, light and paired well with honey butter Belgian endives salad - also well balanced Braised beef ribs - soft and tender Wagyu skirt beef - cooked well, paired well with sauce provided Drinks: high quality drinks! Would definitely come here just for drinks. We got the Quiet holler and Eastern medicine

Cast iron cornbread
Melinda C.

I've wanted to try their $21 cornbread for over a year now... it was fine but nothing outstanding to me! Not sure if I came in with really high expectations but my friends loveddd it. Interestingly salty but also sweet from the honey on top, with bits of jalapeño pepper inside. Menu is seasonal with farm-to-table ingredients, so everything tasted fresh and earthy. The smoked trout dip & farmer's market salad were my favorite dishes, both surprisingly more flavorful than I expected. Sadly the short rib was too salty and needed more of the layered potato to balance it out - also $52 for a very small portion was overpriced in my opinion. Another thing to note was the hostess at the front was quite snarky and gave us attitude when we very kindly asked if they had matchboxes (I collect them). Even after I said "no worries thank you" very nicely, she gave my entire group a very condescending look, so that left a sour taste at the end of our dining experience. Would most likely not return.

Mashed potatoes

04-2026 I've been to Hatchet Hall before and had great experiences, but unfortunately, this most recent visit felt like a step back. While the flavors were there, the service and pacing left our party of three feeling like an afterthought. The Service: We were seated promptly for our reservation, but then the experience hit a snag. We sat for quite a while without anyone greeting us, even as I watched other waiters warmly welcoming tables nearby. I eventually had to flag down a busser just to get someone to come over. When our server did arrive, her attitude felt rushed and a bit off. While she warmed up as the evening progressed, the initial cold start definitely rubbed me the wrong way. The Food: The menu still has its highlights. The cornbread is always a hit, and we enjoyed the butter lettuce wedge, market greens, and grilled mushrooms. For sides, we had the mashed potatoes and fries, eventually finishing with the apple crumble, which were all solid. However, the kitchen pacing was completely non-uniform. My party's dishes came out well ahead of mine, and the dry-aged ribeye arrived last, after a noticeably long wait. It's hard to enjoy a group dinner when the main course arrives after the sides have already been sitting there. Final Thoughts: I still tipped 25% because I know it's a team effort, but this wasn't the same high-level experience I've had here in the past. The food is still good, but between the service gap and the awkward timing of the ribeye, I'm not sure how I feel about coming back.

Tried Hatchet Hall for Sunday brunch, and it was so pleasant. They have a gorgeous antique style interior, amazing service and super friendly staff. It was my friend's bday and they also brought us two glasses of champagne on the house. The Chilaquiles was so yummy and well made, i definitely recommend everyone to try it.

My new favorite restaurant in Los Angeles! Since this review, I have been to this restaurant twice due to how amazing the food is. Firstly, I came for dinner on a Saturday night and it's absolutely beautiful inside. I loved the dim lighting and the lights which create a truly romantic experience. Service was great and our servers were amazing. They explained the menu throughly and explained how the items were family style. For drinks, we ordered the pong express which was delicious. For food, we ordered the cornbread, the cat fish bites, the blackened chicken, the carrots and the mashed potatoes. Everything was super delicious and the portions were great. Definitely recommend for any occasion!

Ribeye

Service: We checked in for our reservation with the young man at the front, who asked whether we'd prefer to sit inside or outside. I initially said inside, but when we got there, I gave him the look of uncertainty and admitted, "I lied... can we sit outside?" We both laughed, and I appreciated that he immediately read the room and smiled before saying yes. He brought us out and even let us choose between two open tables, instant 10/10 service from him. Our host was petite and incredibly sweet. She let us know right away that the cornbread takes a little time to prepare, so we could order it first while browsing the menu. Naturally... we ordered the cornbread immediately. She checked on us every 10-15 minutes, and the entire staff was impressive throughout the night. My water glass never once went empty, and the two gentlemen clearing tables made sure our glasses stayed full and any finished plates disappeared promptly. I love that level of attentiveness. And mind you--Hatchet Hall was completely full when we visited, yet the service never skipped a beat. Outdoor seating is a must, though I may be biased because I love plants (lol). It was also just a beautiful evening. Our Food: Little Gem Caesar - A fantastic salad topped with a generous amount of aged parmesan. I love cheese, so the more the merrier. Crispy Brussels Sprouts - This fell slightly short for me. They were a bit overcooked and lacked the crunch I was hoping for, though the walnuts helped add some texture. Still a solid dish overall. Mashed Potatoes - Creamy, rich, and delicious. My husband paired these with his steak and had zero regrets. 45-Day Dry Aged Ribeye - Incredibly tender. The steak sauce elevated it even further and tied the whole dish together beautifully. Slow-Cooked Lamb Shank - For some reason I expected this to be small... it was not. The portion was huge, the flavors were incredible, and the lamb was every bit as tender as the ribeye. Hatchet Hall officially has my heart. Between the exceptional service and memorable food, this place absolutely delivered.

As a massive fan of Dunsmoor, I was super excited to try Hatchet Hall. Their menu is slightly different with some of the same classics (like the skillet cornbread). The goddess salad, meatloaf and mash, and gnocchi with bacon were all great and very shareable. I recommend getting a green or a vegetable to break up the decadence of the meal though.

Cornbread
Zach H.

If in the area this is a must stop!! We went on a Wednesday and the restaurant was completely full! (So do like we did and place a reservation) the food is so delicious... we had corn bread as starter, braised beef for main course, and toffee cake for dessert, (all very delicious), the bar has many drinks that pair perfectly with each dish.. I had an old fashion and it was on point with the perfect mix. The mood is just right from the lighting, music and excellent service.

Corn bread and other items
Kiki A.

We love Hatchet hall. The food, the vibes, and the decor. We started coming a few years ago and fell in love with the cornbread and ever changing menu. The atmosphere of the restaurant is spacious, never squeezed into your neighbors, and transportive. We enjoy not being right up next to someone. While the food quality is not always as good as it's been in the past, as chefs have changed etc, it's still pretty good and we wouldn't miss out on the cornbread! They are usually pretty busy, but if you're flexible they will get you seated and we appreciate it. The cost is pretty pricey, but if you're feeling like some fun and fancy cocktails and good food, this is a great place to go!

Kay D.

Great spot with very photo friendly lighting and structures. The food was good and the portions are also very fair the service was great as well. I've only had it for breakfast so far but I think dinner would also be very cute. Overall great brunch!

cesar salad
Ashley C.

It's hard to find the words to really encapsulate the feelings and taste I got from dining here at Hatchet Hall. The food was delectable and although it was very very busy (an hour wait but luckily was quickly seated at the high top tables) I was worried we would get overlooked by our waiter given the high volume of people. Our waiter was so lovely and polite, she came by quite often to check in with us and would even refill our waters, so it was very pleasant. Definitely would not come here for any type of first date or talking because it is super loud inside. But! the food speaks for itself. Definitely get the cornbread and the jidori chicken, I won't want to have them at any other place other than here at Hatchet Hall. Thank you!

Ribeye steak, fries, Brussels sprouts
Vannie S.

I've been wanting to try hatchet hall for quite some time. First thing we ordered was the cornbread since it took longer to cook. We ordered the crudo, ribeye, French fries, and Brussels sprouts. I think the cornbread, crudo, and ribeye were my favs. Surprisingly not the biggest fan of the fries or Brussels sprouts which was disappointing. The cornbread was spectacular 10/10 would order again. It was butter and mouse but also on the savory side. The crudo was also delicious super fresh and light. The steak I give it an 7/10 because it was flavorful but fatty and thin. Now onto the not so great dishes of the night. The Brussels sprouts were kinda soggy and one note. I didnt really taste the honey was a lot of balsamic vinaigrette flavor. And the fries not much to write home about. Overall I would def come back to try their brunch menu and to get the corn bread. The restaurant is cute and actually surprisingly big.

Do they do take-out orders since it says they're not exactly kid friendly to dine in?

At this time we do not accept Togo orders.

Is the cornbread available to order for dinner? I only see it on the brunch menu.

We had it at dinner not too long ago.

Does anyone know about a corkage fee?

$35 per 750mL bottle / maximum two bottles.

Do you have brunch menu since I can't find it on your website?

Sunday Brunch menu selections change, week-to-week; owing to availability/provisioning at the Farmer's Market.

What are the vegan options? I see dairy included on all the veggie dishes listed.

This place specializes in cooking game meats and more common but high quality meats like beef, chicken and pork over open flame. It's amazing, unique and a favorite restaurant of ours. They aim to please, but I'm not sure this is the place to take… 

Is there a happy hour?

no happy hour.. place is too high end for that

Why is there no sign?

they're just cool like that. there is a painting of a Hatchet though

Beautifully designed space, great ambiance, a vibe you will not get in New York so it was a great experience for me. Excellent location with lovely views of downtown Culver City. We didn't have a reservation but the lovely hostess (who was also like maybe the prettiest woman I've ever seen? I didn't catch her name but I think she may have been Ethiopian/East African descent with really beautiful curly hair) put my name down and while she said it would be maybe 30 min it was definitely more like 15. In the meantime we had a drink at the bar (I don't drink alcohol and the bartender was very kind and made an excellent NA Paloma for me). When we were seated we had a very helpful and friendly waitress who gave us her recommendations and helped us decide what to order from the menu that was just the right amount of options but truly everything sounded good so it was hard to decide. I had the sea bass which was so amazing! I finished the entire thing and it was the perfect portion of a meal. Also I am a type 1 diabetic and appreciated the options they had that were both very friendly to my diet and also very delicious. Oh and the restrooms!

PROTIP: Study the menu beforehand, eat on the Patio, order the Wngs and Short Rib and Try Son Nong Dan across the street. SUMMARY: Go to Koreatown and get better food for less I finally visited the much hyped Mulberry the other night, expecting a fantastic experience based on all the hype and social media.What I got was an overpriced meal on Sawtelle that watered down what should have been a showcase for excellent Korean food.  Mulberry is cramped and dark on the inside and excellent on the patio. There are some interesting tables inside near the back, but the Patio is where the action is, especially when the sun is out.It has shades of Hatchet Hall's ambiance and a great vibe. Service comes fast and is very good. They do know what they are doing from a service perspective. Drink orders arrive quickly, and food is served fairly fast. We knew what we wanted before going. Korean Pancake, Wings, Dumplings, Acorn Noodles and Short Ribs.  Korean Pancake - small and just ok flavor. The sauce was good, but for $17, you could get a giant, better tasting pancake almost anywhere else. Fried Chicken Wings - probably one of the two stars of the night--had a fantastic crust and were very plump and juicy. Sauce and pickles were excellent and you get two types of wings with each order, both were excellent.  Acorn Noodles - a very good mix of flavors, good nori, the hard-boiled egg (a surprise) was good--expensive for $22Steamed Dumplings - well made and cooked well, but the lackluster sauce served with them didn't help. A well-crafted dumpling that needs a much more flavorful sauce to accompany it.  Beef Short Ribs - The other star on the menu, along with the wings. Very tender and great taste. Use the salt! We ordered the extras which you don't have to do. Small piece for $49. It's a No Tip restaurant so you get the automatic 20% charge - which I did not mind. Pay the help. Our bill came to $200 for a meal that was probably worth $100.You can go to some of the AYCE Korean BBQ places and get better quality, more food and be happier. The hype for this place will die down. If you like Sawtelle go to Son Nong Dan across the street for an overall better experience and better pricing.

The location has a spacious area filled with a variety of wine options. I picked a Bourgogne Chardonnay from France ($36). We came on a late Monday afternoon and, lucky for us, they have a bar special on Mondays: No corkage fee! They also have Happy Hour-- Monday to Friday from 3-6pm. The Chardonnay was divine! I would totally return and purchase another bottle. We also ordered a charcuterie board and took advantage of their happy hour special for $20 (pick two-- one cheese and one meat). We opted for the 'Humboldt Fog' Chèvre as our cheese option and the Bresaola for our meat option. Both were delicious, but the chèvre was truly exquisite. We shared one charcuterie board with five people and it was enough; however if you're on the hungry side, I suggest two charcuterie boards for five or six people. In addition to meat and cheese, it comes with crackers, some pickled veggies, onion jam, candied nuts, whole grain Dijon, and apple slices. On the left side of the venue you have your variety of wine options; on the right side, there's the bar and some tables, plus a small area with other snacks for purchase that pair nicely with wine or beer. They even sell the Torres truffle chips! My only complaint is the service, unfortunately. The lady at the cashier was super friendly, however the bar tender was not so welcoming. When he came over to our table to open our wine bottle, he didn't greet us, smile, or say anything. He took our bottle and opened it and then asked who was going to taste. Not sure if he thought we didn't speak English since we were speaking another language when he came to our table, but overall, we all noticed his attitude and thought it was rather unwelcoming. Because of this experience, I rate this place a 4/5, however, everything else was great!

We sat at a high table by the window and the kind young bartender took our drink and food orders. We had arrived in time for happy hour, so we chose the charcuterie board and two orders of the salmon sliders, both reasonably priced at $9.50 each. The sliders were spicy and delicious. The charcuterie board was not as impressive. It didn't seem particularly fresh; the grapes especially were a bit wrinkly and sad. We could also have done with a few more pieces of toast to go with the pieces of smoked Gouda and Brie, and the couple slices of salami and prosciutto. There were also a few dates and dried apricots on the board. Well, whatta ya want for $9.50 in L.A., I guess...
