Hatchet Hall is a wood fire cookery with an emphasis on ingredients, old American techniques, and community. At our core, we serve Heritage American food cooked by hand. Emerging from a centralized pocket in Culver City / West Los Angeles, the restaurant set out to transform a neglected neighborhood space into a place for everyone to feel welcome while enjoying a range of dining and drinking experiences. From the bright, open-air patio to the dark and intimate Old Man Bar, the restaurant’s handcrafted environments are designed to elevate every sitting, course and pour. Hatchet Hall specializes in working relationships with local farmers and purveyors to provide the best quality experience for the table. The basis of the restaurant is family — whether it’s your loved ones, farmers, or guests — we all gather around the same table. The menu changes daily, reflecting the seasons of California. Purchasing produce with limitation and the idea of keeping things exciting for the staff and guests. The food is simple; not heavily plated or overdone, finding beauty in imperfection. The wine list is regularly updated 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.
