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.

                                        It was excellent from start to finish. The cornbread is not to be missed.

                                        Great experience as always. My favorite restaurant to enjoy when the wether dips a bit. Ordered a few plates and a bottle of wine at the chef’s counter/bar with the hearth blazing. Wine list is well curated and the stem ware is perfect. Service was warm, welcoming, and friendly. Highly recommended and one of Los Angeles’ best restaurants.

                                        This place is amazing at every level. I used to live in the area over 30 years ago and I can’t believe all the amazing restaurants that have popped up over there. This one truly tops the list with an amazing dining experience at the Chefs table with friendly and informative staff. The ribeye and tuna toast were to die for. We live in the Marina but will venture out there for our date nights. Thank you Dunsmoor for an amazing night

                                        The food was all excellent at Dunsmoor. There wasn’t one dish I didn’t enjoy. The service is totally fine, not stellar but good. For what you pay I do think they could put a little more emphasis on the service but the food is truly very good.

                                        Great service, friendly staff, very good mix of flavors and use of ingredients, red peas and rice 👍 Wish they'll be able to bring back the smoked country ham, more game dishes. Thank you Chef Brian, Manny, Abe, Joe. Thank you to Rodney, Star (congrats!!! 😉🙏🙏), and Jessica. A+
