    What a fun little place to explore in the weekend in Venice! We went for drinks pre dinner here and the orange wine here was delicious! It's a walk in restaurant so you'll have a bit of a wait on the weekend but you can always grab a bottle of wine and hang out outside while you wait for your table! Can't wait to come back and try the food here!

    One of the best meals I've ever had. Vibe was everything. Went for a girls dinner and it did not disappoint. We didn't make a reservation and didn't have to wait too long- we got a bottle of wine and hung at the bar. Food was AMAZING. Favorites were the scallops, oysters, and burger. The inside was sooo cute and moody. Wine was SO GOOD too. Also we ate family style which I recommend bc everything was amazing Have to add a shoutout to Miguel. The service is 10/10, vibes are 10/10, and food is 10/10. One of my fav restaurants in LA

    Dudley Market absolutely delivered. Came here for a weekend bite and ended up trying a few things -- the burger, Peruvian scallops, and lobster bisque. Every dish felt intentional, fresh, and layered with flavor. The burger was the star of the table - juicy, perfectly charred, and balanced in all the right ways. Simple but unforgettable. The Peruvian scallops were delicate with a bright, citrusy punch that woke up every taste bud. And the lobster bisque? Velvety, rich, and comforting without being overly heavy. It's the kind of soup you close your eyes for after the first spoonful. Service was warm and attentive, ambiance was relaxed yet elevated, and the overall experience was exactly what I was looking for. If you're debating what to order, do yourself a favor: get the burger

    This restaurant is such an LA vibe. Wait for your table outside by grabbing a drink and watching the sunset. The walk in wait time can be pretty long but it's a great spot and you can chill at the beach while waiting. This place is always packed with young crowd. Honestly this truly might be the best burger in LA.

    Dudley, oh Dudley, where do I begin? With the dazzling string lights in the Dudley Avenue alleyway and how they dance like stars against the indigo sky? Which you'll probably be seeing a lot of because of how long the wait for dinner here is? No better time than the present to address the elephant in the room: Yes, because this place is so gorgeous and trendy and such a vibe (I mean, all those TikToks of effortlessly LA-looking people killing time drinking wine on the sidewalk?), there'll definitely be a wait here if you come on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Will it be worth it? Well, maybe not if you end up having to wait two hours for a table. And if, once you're seated, the server actually ignores you and your friends for about ten minutes even though you spent those ten minutes trying to flag someone down for menus. And definitely not if the portion size is so small (and expensive) that you end up having to swing by the Taco Bell drive-thru on your way home because you're still hungry. Overpriced for what you get. The decor doesn't make up for the service or the food, unfortunately. Though if you do eat here, try the Peruvian scallops. It's one dish I regret not trying -- I certainly don't think I'll ever return -- and it's one thing that seems to always be on the menu, which changes regularly.

    Disclaimer: this place has a following so try to get a reservation. They don't offer many reservation slots but they have a few. You'll need to do it on Resy. Just a heads up search for the place on Resy rather than trying to make the reservation on their own site. I couldn't figure it out. The ambiance is what makes this spot. It reminds me of the fun New England seafood markets but with a little bit of a Venice twist. You'll find a genuine fried fish but then also sashimi which is fantastic by the way! Don't skip the scallops unless you want an angry fisherman giving you a word. The wine bar is fantastic especially if you don't score that reservation. You can sip on some vino (what we do) while waiting for your table.

    Luckily I am okay with raw burger. But beware if you aren't.

    I've heard about the burger here was good so I had to try it. I did a trip special for this. Burgers are probably one of my favorite foods and I prefer pub burgers. (These days there are way too much smash burgers). Anyways, I was disappointed because the meat was barely cooked. I'm not making this up either, look at the photo. In the plus side I did eat the whole burger because I'm okay with rare beef if it's high quality. The beef here was fresh and of high quality. They also seems to have seasoned the beef with some sort of steak like seasoning which was good. The bacon jam I did not like. It's not too sweet but the bacon pieces do distract from the rest of the burger. I'd much prefer a strip of real bacon if adding bacon. The bun was really good. A perfect bun. This is a fancy burger which is trying to be fancy. However they need to learn how to cook the patty's. They don't ask you how you would like it done either. So I bet some people would be scared to eat this. The service was great. No complaints at all from the handsome, cute, trendy staff. Restaurant can get loud at times but it wasn't when came in around 4pm on a Saturday. I also had fries and they were decent. Crispy fries that remind me of "good McDonald's" fries. They did add a sorta spicy seasoning on them which I would have went without.

    Bluefin Tuna Crudo

    My friend had been raving about Dudley Market as she had been seeing it all over her FYP. With the petite spot amplified by the hype, no wonder reservations were tough. Besides, it's Venice so weekend was always crowd stealer in the area, which did mean parking could be tough but last weekend was my lucky day! We needed to wait a bit as our table still wasn't ready 15 mins passed our reservation time; thankfully our patience bank for the day was still full LOL. The venue gave me the vibe of beach house combined with green house; simply cute and slow. They're known for their seafood so we certainly didn't skip having a couple from their raw section. Our picks were their Peruvian Scallop and Bluefin Tuna Crudo. Served on ice, the scallops were fresh and juicy. Nothing fancy but palatable. I would skip the tuna though as it had that fishy hint a bit and the sauce was just okay to me. My friend got their Dudley Burger featuring wagyu as the protein and apparently was one of their top sellers despite being well-known for seafood. I went for the fried fish katsu as I wanna go all in with seafood theme. My friend did enjoy hers, though it's probably tad smaller in size compared to typical burger elsewhere. Thick and tender meat might make it up! I did love my fish burger and prolly my fave dish of the night. The fish was pleasantly crispy, right size of fillet, and the sauce was so flavorful mixing tangy and slightly spicy flavor. We did get fries as additional since it didn't come with any sides. Overall it was decent, but prolly not distinctive enough to make me a regular.

    Moules frites
    Jasmine V.

    I came here without a reservation on a Saturday evening with a group of 4 people. Surprisingly, it wasn't too crowded and we were seated right away. The food here is great. I had fries, the moules frites, and the burger. The fries weren't ordinary fries. They had a kick of chili in it and were tasty. The moules frites white wine sauce was delicious. The star of the meal however, was the burger. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was super juicy. The dill aioli on it was delicious and added a tanginess that cut through the fattiness. Would recommend.

    Yummy wine!

    Amazing spot by the beach in Venice. We came here once before for coffee but didn't realize it was such a great dinner spot til now! My wife and I shared the burger, oysters, and crudo and it was the perfect amount of food. The hype for the burger is justified and I definitely recommend adding the fries which were so tasty! Try to get here a little early as they do not take reservations and we ended up waiting around an hour for a table - it was totally worth it!

    Caesar
    Karina P.

    This place absolutely lived up to the hype. Everything was so fresh, thoughtful, and flavorful. To start, the scallop crudo was delicious, and the cucumber salad was tasty. And the caesar was also perfect. The stars of the show: the burger and the sweet potatoes. The burger was everything I'd want: thick, well-seasoned, and no-frills. The sweet potatoes were unexpectedly a highlight: insanely sweet and in a yum dipping sauce. I would pass on the katsu fish sandwich next time. Overall, will absolutely be back.

    Oysters

    Reservations - Not the smoothest experience. I called multiple times with no answer, and when I finally asked the host about booking, I was told they only take reservations for the first hour of service. We ended up waiting nearly two hours for a table for two, while larger groups were seated ahead of us. Oysters - Outstanding. Sweet, delicate, perfectly fresh, and just the right size. Peruvian Scallops - Excellent. They instantly took me back to Peru, where they're often flambéed with pisco, full of flavor and beautifully prepared. Burger - Delicious. The bread was excellent, and the arugula added a great peppery bite. Fish Sandwich - Fantastic. I only wish it had been a bit crisper and slightly larger, but the flavor was on point. French Fries - Addictive -- like a lighter, fresher take on McDonald's fries. Wine - A solid list. I tried the sparkling, a lighter red, and an orange. The sparkling was the clear winner. Dessert - None offered, which felt like a miss. A sweet finish would have been the perfect ending. The restaurant itself is charming and lively. Inside has a better energy, but the outdoor seating by the water is a lovely spot to relax with a glass of wine and good food. Service was warm, attentive, and quick, which made the evening that much better. Overall, I really enjoyed my time here and would happily return, ideally without the extended wait next time.

    I just really loved this place. Focuses on seafood, fun veggie dishes, and has an elite burger. Got scallops, cucumber salad, corn ribs, burger and asparagus. All were 10/10 but especially loved the cucumber salad, corn ribs and burger. got a cutie glass of orange wine too. services was quick! very cute vibe, buzzy

It was initially confusing when we arrived, because there was no host on shift, and we had to ask the barista inside where we should be going. After taking a peek in the actual downstairs basement tavern, we opted to sit outside under the eclectic mix of chandeliers, heat lamps, and lightbulbs, instead of the empty smoky basement. There was a live pianist playing in the front lawn, which was amazing and pretty much made the night. I don't know if it's a regular thing, but if it is, I'd definitely come back just for that. Probably since it was a weekday night, the place was pretty deserted, but we didn't mind - it was like a private show with plenty of seating options. The happy hour food was awesome. We got a bunch of appetizers to share, and there was plenty of food. Our favorite was probably the grilled octopus and calamari, and the brussel sprouts were amazing. The fish tacos and ceviche were not bad, but tasted basically the same. Our server was really sweet. In the future, I would come in a group of three since it seems like all the appetizers come in multiples of three and it would have been more easily shared between us.

You can get any 3 items on their happy hour menu for $33, including an impressive selection of their cocktail and appetizer menu. Our waitress recommended the zucchini beignets, which were so unique and reminded me of a zucchini-based falafel. From the happy hour menu, we also got the oysters, which were so FRESH and delicately sweet, and the shrimp cocktail, which came with 4 jumbo grilled shrimp and a unique aioli. We also opted for their iconic soft serve, which consists of a simple, milk-based ice cream, and chocolate, nuts, and blackberry sauce that you pour over, and this was easily one of the BEST desserts I've had lately!

I appreciated that, but the replacement fries didn't arrive until I was almost finished with my burger, so it didn't really improve the meal. To their credit, they removed my burger from the bill, which was a thoughtful gesture and appreciated. Still, the entire situation could have been avoided with better timing from the kitchen.
