Hatchet Hall

September 4, 2025

Hatchet Hall is a Southern-inspired restaurant with a California twist. The indoor dining room and bar were buzzing with energy, filled with young people enjoying their meals. We sat at the outdoor garden area, which was beautifully decorated and offered a much quieter atmosphere. 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.

Had dinner here last night and the ambiance was absolutely splendid. Although we arrived late for our reservation and close to closing time, we never felt rushed. Our server was fabulous, and I wish I had gotten his name. 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!!

I've been wanting to try this place for a few years now. Good but expensive for non-downtown Culver City location. 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.

This place is genuine, and with the most relaxing vibe. The approach is to give you an experience that you and whomever you dine with you won't forget. Food is encouraged to share, made to order with fresh ingredients. Its family owned. Just to start they offer either fresh or sparkling water. The food and presentation was top-notch. Highly recommend it, especially if you want a unique, soul warming Los Angeles dining experience. Just, take a glance at their menu online, they make a cornbread appetizer that I guarantee will be enough to come and at least try that and have a specialty drink to pair. Cozy lounge areas, romantic lighting inside and outside. The dress code was casual, and there were kids there as well.
