Great atmosphere, presentable food, and fantastic customer
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.

Food was good- high quality ingredients and well prepared, with decent serving sizes so you actually get full while being able to taste different dishes. But service was very spotty, and the music was bizarre. I felt like I was being secretly filmed for my reaction to being abandoned by the server while being forced to listen to what sounded like aggressive religious indie rap.

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.
Be the first to ReplyAlways 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 bars in town in its own right.
Be the first to ReplyBig Dunsmoor fan in general but just got a chance to try
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, so absolutely no need to mess with that. The patty was clearly a custom in-house grind, as would be expected. However the meat itself seemed to lack much if any flavor, was sorely under-seasoned, and in my case, sadly overcooked (though judging by other photos posted, that doesn't seem to be a consistent problem). All the toppings were good in themselves, individually, but when combined with the burger, something is still missing. It's very much in need of an acidic element (ketchup or pickles might do the trick, but given the elevated nature of the burger, I'd expect the kitchen might want to reach for something a little more distinctive). The side of pickled vegetables was helpful, but for my money, something more integral to the burger itself is needed to keep me ordering it again and again. Unique style of fries were also a great compliment. Thrice-fried I imagine, though not quite as crisp as they seemed to want to be. Duck-fat may be the solution, if not already in the mix. 5-stars for Dunsmoor. 3.5 for the newly debuted burger. But great hope for them finding a way to kick it up one notch.

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.

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 excellent, making it a must-visit for food enthusiasts.

Be the first to ReplyDunsmoor 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 on those here. I'm taking a beat to write this because I was struck over and over by the sense that Brian Dunsmoor's creation is spiritual successor to both Campanile and Oakland's Oliveto (formative restaurant experiences for me and both sorely missed). The cooking is gutsy and puts ingredients front and center. Nothing we ordered felt like an afterthought or the result of lazy, paint-by-numbers menu construction. Case in point: the "dressed lettuces" listed as a side. A well dressed (and generous) salad of baby lettuce showered with herbs (chives, parsley, dill, chervil), it was honest, delicious, and epic. I'll be back with bells on.
Be the first to Replygreat 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!!!!!
Be the first to ReplyPresent chef at Dunsmoor was the chef de cuisine at Hatchet
Present chef at Dunsmoor was the chef de cuisine at Hatchet Hall which specializes in pre-20th Century style open hearth cooking with hot wood stoked, welcoming glowing flames. The menu seems very similar so Eastsiders do not have to brave the traffic all the way to Culver City. Room has an almost rustic warmth of oak wood tables & chairs, brown terracotta style tile flooring. West half of counter seating allows close view of ancient hearth which cooked our huge, thick rib eye steak. And when Dunsmoor says it opens at 5:30pm, they must depend on the master atomic clock at the U.S. Naval Observatory. We ordered food items that required two different reds, but didn't want to have full glasses. Our peripatetic sommelière came up with the great suggestion of ordering 1/2 glasses worked out perfectly! Our refreshing, acidic, sparkling mineral water was Oachita Mountains near the Arkansas-Oklahoma border. I was so impressed by their flame cooked Pacific Oysters in Mullet Roe & Chive Butter that I had on my last visit in fall, but unfortunately they were out of season as told by our friendly counter man. 1) Edna's Sour Milk Corn Bread: Brown, caramelized, soft, cushy, moist Masa enlivened by mildly piquant Hatch Chile, dairy White Cheddar, sweet honey, probiotic cultured butter melting on top. 2) Aunt Emmy's Pork & Green Chile Stew was a knock off of Mexican Chile Verde. Chunks of fibrous meat in a veggie infused, greenish brown, thickened sauce. Grated white Cheddar generously piled on top. Bit charred, thick flour tortilla that looks "hecho a mano". Corn bread also went well with this dish. 1-2) Maison des Ardoisière, Silice Rouge, Vin de Allobroges, Freterive, France 2022. Made from Mondeuse. Bright, light body, sprightly, raspberry, touch plum. 3) Impressive slab of seemingly well aged rib eye with detached bone charred by the glowing embers. The sunset red, contrasted by dark blackened rind, medium rare, thick cut meat is lush with unctuous tallow-like fat. Primeval chaw, yet soft, plush with the right amount of smoke. Meat satisfying as well as being sensory overload in its richness. Smokey bone marrrow is the tastiest. 32oz so it is way more than enough for two people. 4) Strong fatty meat requires strong red wine this time from Piedmonte, Italy. Nebbiolo, Spirito Agricola Ballarin, Vinicoltori in la Morra Lange 2021. Deep dark fruit, more tannic, acidic, heavier body stood up to the charred, meaty, blood minerality of the beef. 5) Thought a palate cleanser after this heavy meal was in order so ordered the Blood Orange Ice Cream which was a refreshing orange flavoured vanilla ice cream. 6) Meyer Lemon Shaker Pie: Rustic, crumbly, nutty textured dry crust. Bit of curd-like filling. Maybe putting the Blood Orange ice cream on top would have made an excellent à la mode. Discreet Dunsmoor Bar in the same building for a night cap après dîner. Right restaurant, wrong neighborhood??? After decades of gentrification many times started by pioneering artists & next by chic restaurants displacing long time residents when rent prices rose, many locals resent the dissolution of their familiar neighborhood as well as already hard to find parking becoming even more inaccessible. Hopefully, some accommodation can be made to ameliorate this situation where dinner for two can run over $300 in a neighborhood that seems less able to do so. Food, Ambiance, Service. 4 stars.
Be the first to ReplyFinally 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 dessert.

Good. Expensive. Small plates. But well executed. I like the communal table situation. Candles are classy. Nice bar space in the back. Having recently moved to NELA from the westside, it was nice to see a hatchet hall affiliate, decadent corn bread and all.

Dined at Dunsmoor for the first time last night for an anniversary dinner. I was pleasantly greeted by the hostess and loved that she recognized that we were there to celebrate an anniversary. Given that I had made reservations a couple hours before to give my partner last minute options...she seated us at the Chef's counter right in front of where the magic took place. We ordered the scallops which were a bit salty as stated by a reviewer below but still good, the pork chops were excellent and paired it with their mashed potatoes. Finished it off with the waitresses recommendation of the chocolate cake. It was sweet but not too sweet which is my personal preference. Ambiance was a delight. On par with Infatuation LA's recs for romantic dinners. Closing this review off with a shout out to the waitress who went above and beyond and took the time so I knew which white wine I wanted to pair with my three course meal.

Dunsmoor (named for chef Brian Dunsmoor, formerly of The Hart & the Hunter among other restaurants, still missing their biscuits btw) offers a high quality, high end menu. Perfect for a special night out or a splurge or a cheat day (if you're a part-time vegan like me), you will get your money's worth. The ambiance is casual, relaxed but with attention to detail. We were seated at the counter, which is a lot of fun (make sure you note this request when you make a reservation.) Service was attentive and timely. We started with sparkling water and inquired about the wine list. Since the plates are meant to be shared, I was very happy when the sommelier suggested half-glasses of wine. This is a brilliant idea and allowed us to sample two different wines to pair with each plate. Dinner included Sour Milk Cornbread (sweet and savory at the same time), Pork and Green Chili Stew (served with tortillas) and Beef Ribeye, served with the best bone marrow I've ever had. The 32 ounce Ribeye is clearly the star of the show, as well it should be for $129 before tax. (My dining companion reported that this price is $40 higher than the last time he ordered the same dish here. Yes, inflation is a thing and restaurants have tight margins but still.) Nevertheless, it's still worth it, especially considering a certain restaurant that has just closed was selling a ceratin cocktail for $100. The Ribeye was a perfect medium rare, rich and flavorful and delicious; you'll likely have some left to take home. For dessert, we shared the Blood Orange Ice Cream (excellent, creamy and citrusy) and the Meyer Lemon Shaker Pie. Both were delicious. A word about parking and gentrification. Parking is valet ($8); it's almost impossible to find street parking in the area unless you're willing to walk a few blocks. The restaurant is on a main street in a residential area and concern about gentrification was expressed when Dunsmoor first opened. These concerns seem to have quieted recently but the issue has certainly not gone away.

But we also need social equity. Dunsmoor is definitely a good restaurant; time will tell about the equity.
Be the first to ReplyThank 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.

Although the food and service and decor were all stellar, a very special birthday celebration was marred by the incredibly LOUD LOUD LOUD music which meant we had to strain to listen to our companions and yell to be heard. This is so exhausting and so unnecessary. I honestly feel that if you were to ask each diner whether they enjoy the loud, pounding, incessant music you would hear a resounding NO! Why do otherwise fantastic restaurants think that LOUD music with a bass and drum beat that never stop makes for a relaxing evening? Other than that, everything was truly perfect!
Be the first to ReplyDunsmoor 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, to hanging out at the bar, and gently being called to a table. The transference was seamless and the staff was highly competent in sorting out the logistics as a team. While the restuarant's lighting was warm and soft, the quality of all the pictures were remarkable even without the flash. A true illustration of how bright the space was! The layout is large, and the bar is tucked away in the back were guest have a chance to walk past all the kitchen magic. There is an entrance from the restaurant and the street which adds a nice flow to the movement of a large and busy restaurant and bar. The bar has its own vibe by being partially detached from the restaurant. Dunsmoor is a unique place that has done everything right without pretension, and a whole lot of creativity to warm bucolic dishes.

Omg. Every bite was incredible. The waiter was very knowledgeable, perfectly paired wines, made sure the meal was safe for a gluten-free diner.
Be the first to ReplyTook wifey to Dunsmoor and I have to say, I was thoroughly
Took wifey to Dunsmoor and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere of the place. The cavernous Art Deco building gave off a soft, amber glow that made me feel immediately comfortable. The open kitchen, complete with a fire pit, was particularly impressive - I loved being able to watch the chefs at work.But let's get to the food. Everything we ordered was cooked over an open flame, giving it a delicious, smoky flavor that was simply divine. The baby albacore was my favorite dish - it was cooked to perfection and absolutely melted in my mouth. The sour milk cornbread was also a standout - so delightfully fluffy and flavorful. The blue crab salad was tasty, although I have to admit the portion size was a bit small for my liking.But the real star of the show at Dunsmoor was the service. The staff was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, making me feel like a valued guest. Despite the fact that the restaurant was quite busy, I never felt rushed or ignored.Overall, I would highly recommend Dunsmoor to anyone looking for a unique and delicious dining experience. While the prices aren't cheap, they are reasonable given the quality of the food and the atmosphere. And with dinner served seven nights a week, it's the perfect spot for a cozy night out with friends or a special date. I know I'll definitely be returning for that perfect ribeye!
Be the first to ReplyI think maybe my favorite restaurant right now.
The food is unreal, service impeccable, and ambience lovely!!! I want to take everyone I know.
Be the first to ReplyI absolutely love this place, it's one of my favorite
I absolutely love this place, it's one of my favorite restaurants in LA to be honest. Located in the Glassell Park neighborhood of Eagle Rock it's right next door to Bub & Grandma's and is beautifully done on the inside. The lighting is low lit with a few very long tables that are shared by different dining parties. However, tonight we sat at the chef's counter, which is my personal preference. I love being able to watch the kitchen operate and watching your food being prepared adds another element to your meal. Service was also very good, our server John did a wonderful job and was very attentive. Parking in the area can be a bit tricky. They do offer valet, but we were able to find parking on Bushwick behind the restaurant for a 7PM Saturday dinner.The menu has many fabulous choices so deciding what to order is not easy. Pricing is also extremely fair, our meal would be almost twice the total bill if it were in Beverly Hills or over in the west side. Tonight we started with the Bison Tartare which we loved. The sunchoke really made it. Next came the Baby Albacore, which is one of the best dishes I have had in the last year. It was fabulous. Next came the Blue Crab Salad with Bub & Grandma's bread and it was a hit. It was light but packed with flavor. Next was the Cornbread, which was honestly one of the best I have ever had. The butter and honey on top was heavenly. For our entrees we chose the Pork and Green Chili Stew which was very rich and deep in flavor. The crisp tortillas on the side was a great touch. Our other entree was the Rainbow Trout which was a terrific end to the meal. It was buttery and crispy at the same time. Overall it was an amazing meal and Dunsmoor is definitely in my short list now of favorite restaurants in LA. I would recommend to anyone for any occasion, and I plan to be back soon to try the ribeye and oysters. 10/10.
