Hatchet Hall, in Culver City Los Angeles is a wood fire cookery with an emphasis on ingredients and old American techniques. We specialize in working relationships with local farmers and purveyors to provide the best quality experience for the table. The wine list changes often with limited runs on by the glass options, focusing on the culture and history of the wine as well as the natural wine movement of all organic, biodynamic, and sustainable wines. The spirits list is vast, specializing in American Whiskey with expressions and nuances that you’re only able to get from being able to purchase a full single barrel.
Stylish, lodgelike spot with taxidermied animals, a hidden spirits bar & hearty meat-centric menu.

Reviews
It’s the small things here too! A perfect Old Fashion that lets the bourbon speak and isn’t overpowered by bitters. And the assorted plates and doilies are a subtle but necessary touch for the impeccable southern vibes.
I highly highly recommend this spot. I know we will be back.
For dinner, we started with the Cast Iron Cornbread—highly recommended by my niece—and it truly was the best cornbread we’ve ever had. We also shared a Caesar salad, baked oysters, Cajun fried catfish bites, meatloaf with mashed potatoes, apple brandy short ribs, and broccolini. Every dish was flavorful and perfectly prepared.
Overall, everything exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to return.
The greeting at the door was the first red flag. The host only said “hi” with no warmth, no “welcome in,” and not even a simple “do you have a reservation.” When she couldn’t find my name, she didn’t ask if it might be under a different one or try to help at all. It felt very unprofessional for a place of this level.
Our waitress also didn’t seem friendly or engaged. I smiled and greeted her, but she didn’t respond the same way. No questions about whether it was our first time, if we were celebrating anything, or even a basic menu explanation. She dropped off the menus and walked away without any interaction.
Then came the food, which was the biggest disappointment. I spent close to two hundred dollars including tips and valet, and the quality didn’t match the price.
• The corn bread presentation used to be charming, but this time it came on a plain plate with a big ball of butter on top, looking more like something from IHOP.
• The ceviche did not taste fresh at all. Both my boyfriend and I noticed the same off taste.
• The soup was okay, nothing special.
• The shrimp and grits, meatloaf and mash tasted extremely simple, like food you’d get at an average diner rather than a nicer restaurant.
In general, the food didn’t taste freshly made. It used to tasted fresh and carefully made, so this was a huge letdown.
On top of that, the way the dishes were brought to the table felt unsafe and unprofessional. My boyfriend and I were sitting next to each other, and multiple times the staff reached between us from behind to place the plates. Bringing hot food from behind guests is unsafe and definitely not proper service etiquette.
Overall, I left feeling disappointed and honestly embarrassed because I wanted this to be a special night. My boyfriend was sweet and didn’t make a big deal, but he agreed the service was bad and the food was just okay.
We ordered the Cornbread, Grilled Oysters, Pork Chop, Elk Loin, Carrots, and Mushrooms.
The cornbread was the best I’ve ever had, perfectly textured with a crisp crust, and the compote butter truly knocked it out of the park. The grilled oysters were fresh with a tomato based sauce; not bad, but they could’ve used a bit more cheese and grill time. The pork chop was excellent, crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The elk loin was cooked perfectly and paired beautifully with the apricot bacon compote.
The atmosphere inside is dark, romantic, and reminiscent of a Marie Antoinette-era aesthetic, while the patio is beautifully lit and inviting.
Definitely recommend!!
Our server was attentive but did not offer many suggestions. Like others – I found it interesting that the chef requires/recommends that your entire order be placed at one time. While it really didn’t bother me one way or another it can come off somewhat pretentious. Parking was also a challenge. PS On a lighter note – one reviewer mentioned only one bathroom – not to worry, there are two.
Summary: THE CORNBREAD!
The rest of the menu is good, very good. The branzino was amazing but costly. There is a lot competition for the $50-$100 per person space: Hatchet Hall has nice bar area, a beautiful, cozy private room, a nice casual outdoor dining area. A unique dining space. Hatchet Hall is cool & casual place with fine dining meals and prices.
But I would go back for the cornbread and try a few other dishes. Again, everything was good.
