Review summary

Hatchet Hall in Marina del Rey offers contemporary American cuisine with mixed reviews. Food highlights include highly praised cornbread, short ribs, and turkey meatloaf, though elk, ribeye, and fish preparations drew criticism for being undercooked or disappointing. Service is generally noted as top-notch, but complaints exist regarding mandatory tips affecting staff motivation and inadequate allergy accommodations.
