Visiting The Old Place Cornell is like taking a step back into time. It was once a county store and post office that was renovated into a restaurant and opened in 1970. Attracting customers of all backgrounds, the family-owned restaurant describes itself as “small as a shoebox.” This hidden gem serves up fresh fire-grilled steaks and food that will take you back to the Wild West days.

Tucked away in the Santa Monica Mountains, The Old Place has a rustic feel and makes some of the best food around. Customers love coming to this cozy spot for a good meal and friendly conversation.

The restaurant has a 30-foot-long antique bar that acts as a dining table. While there isn’t room to wait inside and have a drink, the Cornell Winery & Tasting Room is next door and has a waiting area for guests.

As you can see, the restaurant is small inside, which adds to the unique charm. There are cozy booths behind the bar and a private dining area in The Mailroom that seats up to 12 people.
