The burger was wild. I don’t even like pickles but that was extremely unique and juicy. Also the shrimp quesadilla was delicious.
Always perfect and always different. Light well balanced flavors always, attention to detail, super fresh seafood and outstanding wine choices. A great way to end the day.
Best dinner and wine spot in Venice
Freeeesh fish, caught by the owner himself. Burger was very yum too
Great selection of natural wine.
Great food and great vibe in Venice beach. Fish Tacos, shrimp tacos, amazing burger and citrus salad,mussels and fries. Nice selection of wines by the glass. Reservation was on time and service was attentive.
Best shrimp tacos I’ve ever had! Very loud so be careful if bringing parents/older people lol
This is the spot that fits practically any occasion - birthday, date, family gathering, visiting friends, celebration, anniversary, break-up… you name it. Love this spot for the intimate vibes, banging vinyl tunes, and fresh boat to table seafood. Stick around after hours to grab a drink w staff
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 really good and other dishes we ordered hit the spot. Do not pass up the burger!!!
I had an amazing evening here, I think when there was a guest chef. I think the manager or owner was in and was very welcoming and friendly. Overall a real treat of an experience. When I got home I also bought a t-shirt of the artist whose work I saw there. I wanted to come back more often but didn’t get a chance. Highly recommend!
What a lovely experience. Food and wine were excellent. A cute and vibrant dining room leads to an excellent atmosphere with absolutely stunning dishes. Maybe a bit more basic but the fish tacos were IMPECCABLE. Crudo was great too, but could do without the apple (it overpowers). Of course, the Moules Frites were to die for as well (but I’m biased because I love that dish no matter what). Will 100% be coming back.
I’ve always loved this gem of a wine and raw bar combo tucked away right off the beach in Venice. The fish is caught fresh each day (usually by the owner of the place) and the crudo dishes never disappoint. I’ve yet to try the wagyu beef burger but I hear it’s incredible. The newest dish I tried was sweetbreads with baby corn, Szechuan pepper and a citrus sauce. It was incredible.
This beautiful seafood restaurant owned by a fisherman houses a wonderful coffee & wine shop (Hooked Venice). Hooked serves up truly delicious specialty coffee from 8am-2pm Wednesday through Sunday. They had three different types of coffee beans that they use for their full range of espresso and drip offerings. They also had a great range of coffee beans from world-class roasters across the country. As probably the very best coffee in Venice, this is an amazing addition to the area!
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:
- Get any and all things fish, especially raw. The team and owner line catch everything so the menu will constantly change but it'll blow your socks off. Miso yakitori and all tuna will make your heart melt.
- Other: would argue top three french fry from here to SF. Little bit of spice, perfectly crispy. The burger is ranked top (and is), recommend splitting it so you can eat more fish.
- Wine: the staff knows their stuff. Huge natural list, special collaborations run by Dina, and some of the local winemakers running events.
- The Vibe: a turntable, friends,DJs, etc. There's always good tunes coming.
- What's going on: Check out 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 fish and chips were surprisingly good too. The fish kept juicy without too much of the oily outer batter.
Very affordable considering the quality of dishes/ingredients. The oysters here are ridiculously fresh. The ambience and service were also top-notch.
ITS A MAGIC PLACE! One of the best places that I’ve tried for the past couple of month.
Wine selection is impressive, food is to die for, all crudo was amazing especially halibut! Special shut out to vinyl DJ that was playing all good music. Feels like a small Europe!
