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

Dudley Market mixes fresh-from-the-Pacific seafood with a killer wine list and vinyl records

Expected way more. Coliflower was ok. Crudo was fishe, they gave us soy to make it better 🥹 the fried fish sandwich was so dryyyyy. The burger was great! The sweet potato was the best thing we ordered. Vibe was great but the stuff was so busy all year time, never asked us how are we doing.

Dani was incredible–so friendly and made me feel like home. Dudley Market is the definition of a neighborhood joint whose atmosphere is only surpassed by its menu. an ode to old Venice. Local tip- get the burger!

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!

Last night, we were going to eat at this restaurant and the man out front was extremely rude to us so we left. I won’t repeat what was said to us, but by far the worst customer service I have ever experienced from a restaurant staff. Perhaps this is only the behavior of one person, but it is a reflection of the restaurant itself. Customer service and kindness to others is everything.

This has always been a gem, a favorite, and a restaurant that told a story I could get behind, bread of authenticity and hard work to get there.
However, I haven’t been back in a while and there seems to be a different story being told. The food was wonderful per usual but that’s only one part of the experience. We chose to drive, made extra time for parking and hustled over in excitement for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner, and his FIRST experience here. We stood there waiting to check in so the clock kept running, and initially, arrived maybe 45 seconds outside of the [10 minute] grace period only to be met with resistance to understanding and pompous demeanor to boot. It was cold outside and this is a 40 year old man’s birthday - I wanted him to experience the magic of the ambiance while telling him the inception of Dudley Market as it was told to me one night three years back by the owner who was spinning records with his friends. Cut to: being told the only option was the bar, I accepted what was and they said to give them ten minutes. 40 minutes later we were sat up at the bar area watching the wait staff ring up orders. Mind you, this was all because there was a line at the hostess stand. No two patrons are the same and she really couldn’t see that operations were slow, having to ask her manager questions at every turn for multiple people, finally to turn my indoor table down for a birthday.
We also had a younger guy “helping us” who barely said a word, but spent more time on the two girls next to us and the service between the two were world’s apart. While he was getting a play-by-play on the rest of their evening plans, I was doing my best to stay positive and make item suggestions to my boyfriend who had never been there. Even with the hostess being made aware, he never got so much as a, happy birthday, a smile, or service I’d known to have had in years past.
Since it’s a rotating menu, I did my best and also left a 20% tip because that’s just how I was raised, but no staff recommendations were made, no wine pairings, just an initial, “what can I get you to drink?”
I was used to being greeted at Dudley with being asked who had dined there before, some highlights on the menu, asking about allergy restrictions, wine pairings, and quality service. This was not how I wanted to spend his birthday and him being a 40 year old man, was obviously confused by the entire situation at large. He enjoyed the food but has no interest in going back, if we hadn’t driven from Manhattan Beach, I would’ve left. Disappointed, out $150 and did I mention those same girls accidentally spilled wine all over my bf? She felt worse than the guy who flirted with them all night and I spent our last ten minutes there trying to clean him up. I would’ve thought he’d offer them another drink, make sure glass wasn’t being spilled, etc. I’m bummed to say the least and never write reviews but here we are.
Awesome place , service and wine cart is wonderful

What an incredibly energy this plsce has! We had a reservation for 9pm but went a couple hours early to see if they had any last minute spots and they sat us within 15 minutes. Sitting at the bar, we got served but an awesome waiter who not only gave us perfect recommendations for food, but also knew exactly the glass of wine to pour for me after I gave him a brief description of what I was looking for. We had the most perfectly put together scallop dish, perfect amount of salt, fat, and a little sprinkle of spice. 10/10 would recommend.

If I could leave 10 stars, I would.
My stomach hurt last night but I didn't want to give up the res. We went and asked if they had any soup or anything simple...the chef made us soup from scratch. Didn't take long. The attention to detail and care for customers has been unmatched by any other LA restaurant. period.
