Best cornbread this side of the Mississippi and the greens were also to die for! The steak was tender, delicious, and of course, had a wonderful crust on it. Apple and quince pie is worth ordering if you still have room for dessert. The service was great, and they even saved my sunglasses for me that I left behind at the end of the meal! We look forward to coming back and trying the pork chop.

The food was fantastic. We had the albacore, tomato, Caesar, steak and rainbow trout. Loved all that we ordered.

I thoroughly enjoyed the food and ambiance at Dunsmoor. However, I found the music volume to be quite loud for a sit-down restaurant, making it difficult to have a conversation across the table.
Dario
Overall good but a bit overpriced. Trout was $65. The cornbread, anchovies and pickled mussels and the tomato Caesar salad were great but the dates with butter were a bit too heavy and overpowering the flavor of the dates
Michael
As usual the food and service were spot on. The level of the music last night though was a bit loud and we were having some difficulty hearing each other at the table. Otherwise a great time

Dunsmoor had been on my list for quite a while. We live out of the area. Bravo Chef Brian Dunsmoor and the entire restaurant team !!! And Thank you for your passion, high standards and commitment to offering "One of a Kind" fine dining experiences, nightly. Best to you all ! Fabulous experience last night, 2 guests, Oct 08. Great old renovated building in the Glassell Park area of L.A. Nice ambiance inside. Also, Great bar area adjacent. Open kitchen. We were able to get seats at the Chef's Counter. Front row seats at the open Kitchen. All staff members were a delight ! Such a unique and special treat !!! to start : fresh Oysters, Baby Albacore, Chicken Liver, Corn Bread. All were special and delicious ! entree : 32 oz Ribeye with smoked bone marrow & braised collard greens. Delicious ! we enjoyed a nice glass of Red wine with the Ribeye. dessert : 3 are offered. We ordered all 3. All were delicious ! (in house created) We brought some of the Chicken Liver and most of the Ribeye home. We wanted to try many menu items, the portions were more than we wanted to eat in a single meal. So, we tried each that we wanted, and bright the remainder home. Treat yourselves as soon as possible ! (we operated our nice independent restaurant for 30 years, daily. We understand what is involved, daily) We made reservations to return for 5 guests in 3 weeks. Excited for ourselves and our guests for our next visit !

Finally made it to Dunsmoor this spot has been on my list for some time, but reservations are no easy feat. We started with the Kobe beef tartare and the anchovies, both outstanding. I loved that the anchovies came with bread from their neighborhood friends at Bud & Grandma's such a thoughtful, community-minded touch. The acorn squash was perfectly roasted and full of rich balanced flavors. For mains, we had the trout and the ribeye both cooked to perfection. We enjoyed everything alongside a bottle of Borboyón, which paired beautifully with the meal and rounded out the evening perfectly. Service was warm and attentive, and the whole experience felt effortless yet elevated. Definitely one of those meals that reminds you why it's hard to get reservations in the first place.

Yummy spot in the eagle rock / glassell park neighborhood. Dunsmore is a retro modern eatery with a speak easy vibe but lounge feel.
The atmosphere is great, lively and you share tables with others, very communal. Service was great all night, constant cleaning of tables and plates, and quick delivery of food.
Everything we tried was delicious, from their bluefin tuna toast, to their dates and their eclectic small plates. Their cornbread stole the show here.
The main dish for us was the ribeye and bone marrow that was big enough to serve four adults. I’m not a big fan of big steaks, I prefer a smaller cut to myself. This steak did not change that opinion.
We tried their chocolate cake desert, stone fruit crumble and a home made strawberry nectarine ice cream. All yummy, but the chocolate cake was a little too rich for my taste. Has a coffee ice cream that came with it that was super creamy.
They recommend 2-3 plates a person and that sounds about right and we all left thoroughly satisfied and full. Their menu changes so if you like their offering, make sure to come back when their menus change.

Every bite of food was delicious - we shared eveything and it is so hard to pick a favorite- but perhaps the pork chop was the best I had ever had and the cranberry beans and the corn bread! The service- impeccable, welcoming, friendly- wine selection is outstanding! the whole place is one of comfort and joy. Do not miss.
Rustic, southern-inspired dining in a moody, intimate space. I had the cast iron cornbread with sorghum butter and smoked duck—elevated but comforting. It’s a bit pricey, but worth it for a special night. The staff is super attentive without being stiff. A hidden culinary gem that foodies should know about.

Love a good wood fire oven - the ambiance of the space matches it perfectly. We ordered a recommended amount per section for two people with two entrees. Love albacore light and bright, didn’t love the cornbread was really tasty but super heavy and sweet. Crab cake with the corn was a bit heavy. The peach salad was highlight for me personally with a Smokey bit of bacon. The chilli and tortillas was another highlight. Got the catfish and pork but was too full at that point to finish. The wine recommendation was spot on for what I was looking for. Would come back for another meal or seasonal menu refresh.

Everything was good except for we ordered way too much food with the intent of taking it home since it was our first time and we wanted to try everything and they mixed our to go with someone else’s. When I got home our completely full cornbread (we both only took one bite) was no where to be found. That was the thing I was looking forward to the most as a leftover. We also had two different boxes of one of the orders (neither of them a full order and clearly two different leftovers of the same dish) and the rice risotto dish that we didn’t even order packed in our bags… pretty gross not knowing which is yours or if any of it is yours or someone else’s so I ended up not getting to eat any of it because it was so clear that to gos were mixed up with another tables. It was a $350+ meal and we were the last ones there due to a steak issue so more care should have been taken with our to go.
The server and I believe manager were both great besides that and they really helped us out when the steak was undercooked from what I asked for and very chewy. But so off putting to open up to gos that are clearly not yours while yours are no where to be found :(
Rip the cornbread I wanted for breakfast the next morning

We ordered a variety of dishes at Dunsmoor, and everything was great—but the steak, cornbread, and desserts were truly next level. I’m from the South, and it genuinely felt like I’d been teleported back home. The flavors were authentic, and the attention to detail was impressive.
The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with beautiful lighting that made the whole experience feel intimate—definitely a great spot for a date night. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the meal even better.
