"Our go-to place for special occasions, when you're willing to spend a little more for a memorable meal and ambiance. Always a winner in every category. We especially appreciate the menu selections that vary from items for the sophisticated palate to basic, but exceptionally prepared, fare."

"Dudley's was recommended by a local business professional acquaintance of mine. He hit it on the spot as "the place to be seen". A bit pricy but well worth it as the atmosphere was great, waiter was exceptional, and the food was fantastic; oysters-on-the-half-shell, seared salmon, vegetables, and desert to name a few; the wine list great and offered a wide range of prices for everyone from $35 to over $250 per bottle. Everyone in our party raved about the place! Can't wait to visit Lexington again."

"Visiting Lexington and never tried the restaurant. Started with the county ham fritters. Enough to share and they were amazing. Had the wilted Brussels sprout salad and it was gone in a heartbeat. Would love this recipe. Husband had the lamb chop which he cleaned his plate. I had the hikes fricasses on recommendation of our server. It was very good but the ends of he hickey were a bit dried out. Service was good. Would go back."

"My wife and I recently had dinner at Dudley's for our anniversary, and it could not have been better. The service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. We were greeted and sat immediately. Our server was had a wonderful demeanor, and checked on us just the right amount. The food was excellent. I appreciate how Dudley's always has new specials to try.
I will continue to dine a Dudley's and encourage anyone out there to do the same if you are looking for a fantastic dinning experience."

"Dudley's continues to impress. This meal was wonderful, service was lovely, and the setting is pretty. The entree specials were impressive. We were dining at Dudley's for our anniversary and the manager came over to say hello and wish us a happy anniversary. Such a lovely and friendly establishment. Dudley's is (in my opinion) the finest restaurant in Lexington."

"Simply outstanding Bluegrass dining experience at Dudley's on Short upscale in a classic way. It is. The service, food, and ambiance were equally outstanding. You just can't find a "Golden Horseshoe" shrimp cocktail reminiscent of old Lexington. Diners are ladies and gentlemen and appear dressed the part with few exceptions (shorts and T-shirts: go to Arby's!)
An easy Five-Star rating."

"We celebrated my daughter's graduation from college at Dudley's. The food very good, but I think overpriced. We did not have particularly good service--we had to ask a passing waiter to find our waiter--but once he finally arrived, he did his job."

"I love the elegant, relaxed feel of Dudley's on Short. This is always a stop on my frequent visits to the area. The food is inventive as well as excellent. Enjoyed a duck dish while my companion ordered salmon. The food was served at the perfect temperature, delicious and artfully presented. This was a first visit for my dining companion and immediately made it on their list of places to visit when in town."

"Saturday evening I meet with friends and enjoyed a relaxing, delicious meal. The staff is friendly, the best bar tender and wait staff in Lexington. Debbie joined the conversation with our group; she always makes you feel very welcome."

"We had a wonderful meal at Dudley's. Not only was our server Steve knowledgeable and helpful, he did a great job of supplying our needs without being obtrusive. Must be a mind reader! The warm brussel sprout salad is delicious (I urge you to try it even if you don't think you like brussel sprouts). The lamp chops are 2 double cut chops and were perfectly cooked. The 'small plate' paella is a perfect portion for most diners as an entree and is loaded with flavor."

"We visited Dudley's for the first time on this trip to Lexington. It will be permanently placed on the "must go" list from now on. This restaurant is GReat! Only draw back is it is very noisy but the food makes up for it."

"Waiter was a bit "over the top", food was yummy. The owner is amazing and made us feel like VIP's. The Building and ambiance are stunning! Next time we will definitely eat up on the roof! Our waiter was very knowledgeable, but pretentious...would have been more fun without him!"

"Another very nice meal at Dudleys. Several friends sat near us or passed by our table (not by design but by chance--a suggestion about the places popularity)."

"Had another great meal at Dudley's! They always have wonderful specials there. I hardly even look at the menu until I hear what the specials of the day are. We were remarking how we were questioning their decision to move the restaurant to downtown Lex. However, the new restaurant is done so well, it was clearly the right move! We will be back soon."

"We really enjoyed the food, with the slow roasted lamb being a standout. I really enjoyed the warm Brussels sprout salad with pine nuts, and family members loved the scallops. A definite place to return to the next time we are in town!"

"Dont leave without ordering the country ham gritters. Wow...dinner for two, with one wine each was $112.00 so with tip ended up being over $130. Food was okay, just dont think its worth the price they charge but, place is always packed so.......perfect as a special night out spot but not many can afford it as a weekly destination spot."

"We were wowed by everything except the menu choices and then the food was not up to our expectations. There are no menu choices or mention of options for vegetarians. Although I was able to order an item without the meat, there of course is not discount on the meal.
Our server was excellent and she and the champagne made our experience good enough that we would go back if there was a vegetarian choice."

"Our server was ok. He didn't mention specials to us. After we ordered we heard other servers ( and ours too) tell customers about the specials. It's very expensive so it is definitely a place for special occasions."

"Went there for Valentines Day dinner it my girl friend like what she ordered, I got the the special steak it was real tough and had a weird orange sauce it wasn't very good the veggies were a bit bland but good, I did like the mushroom stuffing. I was pretty expensive but even though I wasn't impressed with the food the service was excellent very friendly seemed like they cared about my experience there. I am willing to go back and try something els"
