Dunsmoor Los Angeles Reviews
1st visit Sun Oct 05.
Excellent food, service, ambiance. We enjoyed everything ! Before we left, we made our 2nd reservation for 2 weeks out. Treat yourself asap.
Great food, great service.
6 year old demanded 2 orders of the oysters :). Tomato Caesar was delicious. Steak was great, and chocolate cake was to die for. 9 year old loved the corn bread. We'll be back!
After 3 or 4 visits since it opened, I remain disappointed.
Just not the quality or creativity of the original Hatchet Hall. For example, the sandabs were swimming in a buttery sauce and coated with a thick crispy batter. Heavy and overwhelmed the fish. Better was a much simpler preparation at Hatchet with a
Saw this place from a review online.
Definitely a great experience. The ambiance was perfect. The soft colors with rustic vibes made this old bank so cozy and inviting. My only complaint was the music was a tad loud. It was hard to hear the wait staff when they were explaining things. E

I don't normally review restaurants whether good or bad but this one had to be done. I came in for dinner with my gf and we had reservations to sit at the chef's table, which btw is in front of the main grill and hotter than hell. Opted for

My friend and I were a bit last-minute and couldn't snag an early reservation, so we opted for seats at the bar. We really enjoyed the BLUEFIN TUNA TOAST, KOBE BEEF TARTARE, and CHOPPED CHICKEN LIVER. EDNA'S SOUR MILK CORNBREAD is a must--

I had a few friends speak highly of Dunsmoor and I can see why. We kicked the dinner off with the baby albacore. This dish was fresh, light, the albacore was buttery, had citrus and a slight crunch with every bite. The next was the medjool dates, a s
Our second time here and food was great.
We ordered our favorites - Baby Albacore, Kobe Beef Tartare, Sour Milk Cornbread, Ribeye and the Pork Chop which was better than our first visit, for me at least. Our first time trying the Carolina Gold Rice and it was tasty!! Service was also great,
Such a beautiful bar and restaurant.
Great for a first date, family, celebration or coming in solo for some delicious food and great drinks at the bar. Service was fine, maybe could have been a little bit better explaining the menu, but the ambiance and taste of food overruled everythin
Bring back the burger! Replacing it with a $50 HANGER STEAK
Bring back the burger! Replacing it with a $50 HANGER STEAK on the bar menu is criminal! I'll pay $27 for a burger but refuse to pay $50 for hanger steak at the bar.
Insane and tasty - those were the words we kept using
Insane and tasty - those were the words we kept using throughout our meal. Initially we wanted the Tuna Toast, but our server rec-ed the Baby Albacore so that's what we went with. Amazing starter to start our meal with. Pork & Green Chili

Food, wine selection, and service are all uniformly excellent. Our server Randy took good care of us, along with everyone else.

Crudo good Dates and bread really good The risotto nice The pork chop.... That's why I'm here. All fat NO FLAVOR. Shocked. So shocked I went to yelp to see if I was the only one. Did I get a bad one? Are they going for all fat no flavor?
Amazing place! Food was outstanding- some of the best in LA.
Most of the seating is communal fyi. Best thing we had: green chile and pork stew with homemade tortillas. Can't wait to go back. Expensive but worth it

My previous visit I came here with one other person and had a wonderful experience in me. On my most recent visit, I came with a much larger group - I wanna say seven people, which was still a wonderful, but different experience. Last time I sat at

I'm still thinking about those warm dates ever since I dined here. Was able to get a reservation at the chef's counter and it did not disappoint. It is a high top/bar seat but it's nice to see everyone in action behind the counter. Th
I've been there a couple times.
I wanted it to be my new favorite spot, but it didn't make the cut. The first time I had great service. The second time the waitress had an attitude. They will not modify any of their dishes if you have a food allergy. She said doing so would, &
I have to say, Dunsmoor was disappointing.
I always find that these bougie LA restaurants with their small plates and menu rules end up being more of a headache than a treat. We came specifically for the burger and cornbread, but were disappointed to find out that the burger was only availabl
Never again
This used to be my favorite restaurant but no longer. They no longer accommodate people with allergies except to say choose something else. The last time I was there they wouldnโt even leave the guacamole off the chilaquiles.
Hatchet Hall
Great food and drinks. The cornbread is the most popular but itโs very buttery and powerful. The branzino is excellent and so is the short rib. Itโs an excellent place to get quality drinks and dinner. Highly recommend

Great atmosphere, presentable food, and fantastic customer service! The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the only downside was I came today for the brisket and found it a bit too dry for our liking, other than that were great.

The cornbread was delicious, overall the food was really good, only one star off because it was very smoky inside and I made it a little bit tough on my throat

One of the most phenomenal restaurants I've ever eaten at in Los Angeles and I've been to the best. If you don't try this place once, you'll miss out. If you do try it, you'll just miss it and wish to go back asap.
Always at the top of my list when thinking of where to go
Always at the top of my list when thinking of where to go for a nice dinner and evening out. If you don't have a reservation, just hit the wine bar in the back. It's a more limited menu, but obviously just as good, and it's one of my favorite wine ba

Big Dunsmoor fan in general but just got a chance to try their brand new, much anticipated, bar-only burger and afraid to say it was fairly disappointing, though still very hopeful for improvement. The bun itself may have been the strongest element,

Incredible.
A must hit, can't wait to come back. We were a group of 5 and went family style ordering multiple items on the menu. Everything was absolutely delicious.
Everything about this place was amazing.
The vibe of the restaurant is super cozy and everyone working there was extremely friendly and welcoming. This was some of the best food I have had in LA in a long while. Really looking forward to a chance to go back!

This Spanish building stands out with its unique style inside and out, and the food is expertly prepared and delicious. We enjoyed Hokkaido scallops, raw oysters, and cornbread, followed by grilled steelhead trout for the main course. The service was

Dunsmoor blew me away.
Full stop. Execution was terrific on a recent Saturday night. Other reviews have covered specific dishes, the space, the ambience of the hearth, the staff, the restaurant's arc as the team has gotten its sea legs, etc., and I don't need to touch o
great food, good service and I will never go there again.
Why you ask? because I love my friends and I'd like to have a conversation with them and actually hear what they're saying right ACROSS THE F**KING TABLE!!!!!

Finally had a chance to try.
Nice space lot with candles and big cafeteria tables. Didn't get to try out the steak but mushroom pork chop was good. Food was little on the heavier side. Tacos appetizer probably a must with the wood roasted oysters. Also save room for desse

Thank you Hetty for the recommendations and amazing service.
Hats off to pastry chef Erika Chan my friend could not stop talking about how amazing the ice cream was. Everything was amazing but also make sure to keep the cornbread skillet for dipping anything into that sauce/butter.

Worst service with subpar food!
This is literally the worst service we have ever received in Los Angeles. Thereโs a mandatory 20% minimum service charged on top of your bill regardless of service provided. Because of the automatic tip, the server that we had was so unmotivated, a
Unforgettable dining with friends

Disappointed at food quality.
I had high expectation as I chose this for my husbandโs birthday. I was eyeing the ribeye and was eager to try some other exciting dishes. However we were all disappointed. Best: melon and ham Worst: Elk, Ribeye, the whole fish The Elk was prepar
Must try!
The atmosphere was wonderful. The service was impeccable. The food was delicious. The cocktails were fabulous. I will return!
Dunsmoor is the poster-child of American fine dining.
Every dish portrays the flavors of the United States in a way that is neither an overstatement nor a stereotype. Bravo.The dining service processes were methodical and organized from the start of walking into a busy restaurant without a reservation,

Omg. Every bite was incredible. The waiter was very knowledgeable, perfectly paired wines, made sure the meal was safe for a gluten-free diner.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Dunsmoor Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Dunsmoor Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Dunsmoor Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Dunsmoor Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
