Fill all your senses at Ford's Filling Station - LA's first and finest Gastropub - where the atmosphere is relaxed yet often bustling. Comfortable seating areas with warm walnut surfaces and Asian rugs create a charming intimacy amidst an informal setting. The patios are intimate, for private parties, and offer a soothing contrast to our energetic main room, which features wood-beamed ceilings, brick, polished concrete floors and an open kitchen. Machine-age lamps accent the wooden bar while large celestial chandeliers create a ceiling of soft light. Our dedication to craft is evident in the American Regional Menu, which is rustic, simple and innovative, yet familiar. The seasonal menu emphasizes flavor in exciting, uncomplicated combinations and in keeping with Chef Ford's earthy palate.

The celebrated chef-caterer has set up his new laid-back bar- and grill-style eatery in Culver City's spruced-up historic downtown. The menu focuses on American food--much of it organic--with international nuances.

This is a great restaurant with a laid back vibe and amazing food. Ben Ford (Harrison's son) has created an eclectic American food menu with dishes ranging from tasty to sublime. The staff is always courteous and friendly, and the glasses of wine are generous. A little on the pricey side, but well worth it. Just be sure to make a reservation!!

Alice Waters!!! It looked like she asked for a table for 4 even though she had 6 people. The Chef was bringing food to the table and enjoying a glass of wine with her in between courses. One of my friends had no idea who she was and the two were in awe of the relevant chef in the US if not the world. Pros: cool sightings Cons: none here Posted 05/20/09 A proposal to remember By vavavavoom A few days ago I went to Ford's for happy hour, which turned into a long dinner when some colleagues walked in. We were sitting in the middle of the main room minding our business about to sign the check after the most delicious meal when one of the servers brought out a dessert to the table next to us. Since I had opted for no dessert, I was curious to see what they ordered. It was a jewelry box!!!!! His girlfriend was so surprised when he proposed. I looked around and every women around had tears in their eyes. It was such a beautiful moment. Life is beautiful. Pros: sweet vibe, food and music Posted 05/08/09 A proposal to remember By grrreat A few days ago I went to Ford's for happy hour, which turned into a long dinner when some colleagues walked in.

Pros: sweet vibe, food and music Posted 05/08/09 Food ok, service mediocre By DenaG I went to Ford's Filling Station on Saturday afternoon with 2 friends for lunch. The menu has a good selection but the food was only ok (nothing so delicious that I would go back). The servcie was slow and they were not busy at 1pm on Saturday, so we really didn't understand why it took so long for her to take our order or deliver our food. They also messed up one order when the hamburger is supposed to come with carmelized onions and the burger was delivered without what the menu said it came with. It was an ok lunch but with only one alcholic drink, the bill was $72, so I don't really have a need to try this place again. Pros: Located in a cute area in Culver City Cons: Slow service, waitress got our order wrong Posted 04/12/09 BAR! By liveyourlifein09 i really liked the BAR. Posted 01/29/09
