What People Are Saying About Hatfield's

Featured Review

Mar Yvette

Contributor

Having moved to bigger and better digs on the corner of Melrose and Citrus in February 2010, this L.A. mainstay hasn't missed a beat. With nary a resemblance to the space formerly known as Red Pearl Kitchen, the soft, sophisticated palette keeps a soothing visual tempo: hexagonal light sculptures add a soft glow to the sparse space--the gorgeous exhibition kitchen is all the show you need. More of an anti-scene, the crowd is a mix of faithful foodies and well-heeled couples who have come to rely on solid, friendly service and chefs/co-owners Quinn and Karen Hatfield's consistent take on…

Outstanding Halibut

by Carltree at Citysearch

This is the best restaurant I've tried in the last year. You can tell the difference when you have a chef-driven restaurant. And at Hatfield's you can watch them cook through through open kitchen.

The restaurant is a bit formal, so it's more of an adult atmosphere. When you sit down they give a crab amuse-bouche, extremely tasty. They have a great halibut and a nice rack of lamb. The desserts are also special, with beignets the highlight. The beignets come with a root beer shake which is fantastic.

I'd highly recommend giving Hatfield's a try.
