Brian Dunsmoor’s namesake restaurant, Dunsmoor, is the latest iteration of his ongoing exploration of American heritage cooking. It is, first and foremost, a restaurant for the community that surrounds it, and a loving expression of the relentless research that has informed his cooking for the last ten years.

We offer the full menu at tables in our dining room and at the chef's counter, as well as at our outdoor tables. Reservations are recommended but we make every effort to accommodate walk-ins when possible.

Dunsmoor's wine bar, accessible either through the restaurant or via its own door on Ave 35, does not accept reservations and serves a limited menu of our raw and larder items.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Few chefs can work a hearth like Brian Dunsmoor, who cut his teeth at Southern star Hatchet Hall before opening his namesake restaurant in 2022. The long tables adorned with flickering candles make the restaurant an ideal place for a date, as do fiery dishes like wood-roasted oysters and mushroom-crusted pork chops. The cornbread, slathered in cultured butter, is the stuff of dreams.

Great first experience. Would highly recommend the “chef’s counter” seating for date night. Will definitely be back soon.

Our dining experience was top notch. The open fire cooking infused our dishes and every one of them was delicious. The highlight was the ribeye, cooked perfectly and was accompanied with bone marrow and sea salt to sprinkle over the meat. They also had a great playlist for a great vibe.

Everyone in our world has been telling us that we have to try Dunsmoor; it's the best restaraunt in Los Angeles. That's verbatim what everyone has told us. So, naturally, going into this experience, my wife and I had high hopes and usually, those hopes are generally squashed quickly. Not so with Dunsmoor. It was an incredible experience and it lived up to the proverbial hype. I found the restaurant to be inviting, charming and perfectly lit. I found the service to be superb. My wife and I were met with wonderful hospitality. The food was exceptional and even more impressive is the thought that all of the prep work for dinner is done so without the use of any electric. Elbow grease only. I don't care how you look at it, that's impressive. You should absolutely attempt to make a trip to Dunsmoor if you have the opportunity to do so. It is unequivocally worth it.

First experience here was great but the 2nd time around, service was TERRIBLE, took forever to get our food and even the appetizers and the food wasn’t great at all! Portions have gotten super small. Not sure what changes have been made in the last 2 months but this place is definitely not worth the money.

Excellent preparation and management of an open wood / coal fire grill. Pork chop was excellent, and they were able to accommodate my date who is a vegetarian.
