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.

    Really good Friday night experience. Table of 2, first time diners at this restaurant so we ordered a lot of dishes to try as was recommended by our server. The food was really delicious especially the trout entree and roasted veggies. The Carolina Gold rice dish however was over salted. Overall though the meal felt very rushed. The food came out right on top of each other with no time in between courses to savor the meal. What should have been a pleasant 90 min experience was a rushed 45 minutes. It was early in the night, no one waiting for our table so I'm not sure why the pacing was so fast. As we were eating a course, a food runner kept coming by to check if we were done so she could clear the dishes but couldn't get her to refill our water. After one ice tea full of ice and very little liquid, we waited half the meal to be brought another one. So some odd moments of inconsistent service but the food itself was why we came and the star of the night.

    It’s rare that I experience a restaurant that doesn’t miss on every dish! I was blown away by the delicious food and wine. Hands down one of my favorite places!

    I can't recommend Dunsmoor enough! The Albacore is a must-must-must-try - the flavors are incredible, and I'm still dreaming about it. The Trout with Grits is another amazing dish that I highly recommend. Our server and the whole staff were so friendly and helpful, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. Dunsmoor has such a cozy atmosphere, perfect for a chilly evening. We can't wait to go back!

    Had a meal here on a Sunday night with 4 friends. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the food. Service was also outstanding. Expensive but tasty.
