Dudley Market

“I went there in my birthday . I loved that it was open until 23.00. Parking around is expensive so you can park somewhere else and get yourself a another glass of drink or some more oysters. Oysters are medium and 7 out of a 10. I certainly drove drom dtla or melrose to the dudley market for oysters. Very amazing that even if i didnt have reservations they didnt make me wait too long. Wine is good for a price and I have had sashimis and scallops and was pretty good . I just wanted a better sauce on it. Toilets was clean and outside atmosphere was quiete well. I didnt feel discomfort. Ocean breeze and ambiance is well. Art piece on the wall isnt good no worries I have some paintings to replace it while one sit on the bar can keep look at it. Other than that its not super hidden somewhere therefore easy to find i liked that too so i went there again . This time i had three glass of wine and i decided that three is my limit about that. Simple menu cool vibesssssssssss”

“An extremely lively and trendy lounge-type of restaurant on the Venice/Santa Monica border very close to the water. It is actually a block away from the beach. At night they move the tables and the DJ booth turns on and it turns into a mini nightclub and most of the patrons we saw were they to pick up champagne to share and drink on site, the food here seemed an afterthought. The crowd here is very young, most people are in their 20s. You’ll probably be one of the older ones if you are in your mid 30s like myself. It’s also very loud and it’s more a place to go with friends or a date, it’s not really a foodie destination, it’s more of a lively place to spend the evening. Parking is honestly really hard in this area so we took a Waymo because we live a mile away. Aside from that you’ll most likely need to pay for parking. Our waitress was very polite, but our food items arrived pretty slowly. I started off with the Chicory Salad. I thought it was pretty nice, it was really nice and light start, a perfect salad for spring. For my entree I chose the Burger with a side of Broccolini because I had heard a lot about it. It was very good but not one of the best burgers I’ve had in this part of town. I would say this is a great spot to bring a date, but it’s not really somewhere that is food focused, more a place to drink and order some items if you’re hungry.”

“Just off the Venice boardwalk, the energy is cool and coastal. Seafood forward with an American backbone. You put your name down on weekends and wait, worth knowing upfront. The oysters are what you want: briny, fresh, clean. Exactly what you hope for when you order a half dozen, just the sea doing its thing. The kanpachi sashimi is tender and quietly excellent. Thick slices, soft texture, tamari grounding each bite. It’s not reinventing sashimi, it’s respecting it. Good fish, treated well. Then the dudley burger, wagyu richness, sweet bacon jam melting into cheddar, dill aioli tying it all together. It’s sweet, savory, juicy. The charred broccolini arrives with blistered edges, sweet chili vinegar brightening its natural bitterness. French fries come out golden and crisp, good with everything, as they should be. Inside, the room is dark, cool, a little seductive. Great for dates, equally fitting for a group dinner. Service is polite, steady. Nothing overly fussy, nothing overly flashy. Just solid seafood-forward cooking with ocean energy baked in.”

“I stopped by here for a coffee, it’s a vibey spot, they have a DJ playing live tunes. And they seem to be making slow coffee. It’s a cool vibe, but defs don’t come if you’re in a rush.theres only one person who takes the orders and makes the coffee in front of you, so it took me about 25 mins in line to get my coffee (even though the line was only like 5-7 people). I would also say the coffee is expensive $5-16 + tax and tip. But you can kinda expect that in Venice I guess”

“Went to Dudley Market to celebrate a friend’s birthday and had such a great experience. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive without being overbearing. Standout dishes for me were the Peruvian Scallops, Kanpachi Crudo, the Dudley burger (not pictured), and the fried fish sandwich (not pictured) all hits. I’d highly recommend ordering about 3–5 dishes per person so you can really try a bit of everything. Will definitely be back!”
