Reviews for Dudley Market in Venice, CA
This is really one of the best burgers I?ve ever had in LA. My girl and I went in a date here on a weekday night. It was... crowded and a little noisy, but the food made up for the lack of hearing each others? conversation. The oysters were reallygood and other dishes we ordered hit the spot. Do not pass up the burger!!! Read more
This place is lively and can get quite loud. Food was okay, nothing to write home about. They don't offer reservation so prepare... for the long wait. I also noticed that if you're friends with the host, you can get seated before guests who have been waitingfor a table. Read more
Unclear why this place is popular aside from its trendy wine list. No menus so you have to have a smart phone (discriminatory)... and it forces you to stare at your phone as soon as you sit down. It?s also hard to navigate the web menu. The hostess offeredme an iPad and then never brought it. The service was downhill from there. Totally unclear who our dedicated server was, maybethere wasn?t one? No water for about 20 min. Empty plates sat on the table as new plates arrived and I had to ask someone totake them away. Only one kind of oyster available and they were minuscule. Ordered the fish but the plate was 80% arugula, neverending arugula. Very little fish. Read more
Dudley is a perfect restaurant. I've been going for the past three years and it only gets better- whether it's sitting solo at... the bar chatting with the team or using any friend coming into town as an excuse to try more of the wine list. The deets: - Getany and all things fish, especially raw. The team and owner line catch everything so the menu will constantly change but it'llblow your socks off. Miso yakitori and all tuna will make your heart melt. - Other: would argue top three french fry from hereto SF. Little bit of spice, perfectly crispy. The burger is ranked top (and is), recommend splitting it so you can eat morefish. - Wine: the staff knows their stuff. Huge natural list, special collaborations run by Dina, and some of the localwinemakers running events. - The Vibe: a turntable, friends,DJs, etc. There's always good tunes coming. - What's going on: Checkout their Instagram to see the hot takes of the day e.g. what fish is in, who's spinning what, and just to drool.

A little hidden from the Venice chaos. Got the oysters that were plump, fresh, and nicely shucked. Took away a star because they... give you one condiment for a dozen oysters and they seem understaffed. Which is a note to management not the staff. The fishand chips were surprisingly good too. The fish kept juicy without too much of the oily outer batter. Read more
Dudley is one of my top choices to go to in LA! They catch their own fish, they have a great selection of wine and the staff is... super nice. You can also buy their sustainable fresh caught fish to cook at home. Always a solid choice. Read more
Very affordable considering the quality of dishes/ingredients. The oysters here are ridiculously fresh. The ambience and service... were also top-notch. Read more
Obsessed with this place! Love this team! Love the burger! Love the seafood! Love the music! Love the wine club!
