"Set between Culver City and Mar Vista, Hatchet Hall remains a solid choice for dinner on the Westside, especially if looking for al fresco dining. The outdoor patio feels a bit like dining in someone’s backyard or a community garden, with string lights overhead and an eclectic collection of chairs set at tables. Although the restaurant has seen some chef turnover in the past few years, the menu of Southern fare made with Los Angeles produce is still excellent. Make sure to order the cast iron cornbread. Book a reservation through Resy." - Rebecca Roland
