The restaurant had a cozy feel inside. The waitress was super nice and helpful. The only drawback in my opinion is the amount of food. It is kinda pricey for the amount of food. I got the brisket and pull pork platter. I only got 2x pieces of brisket, with one being almost all fat.

Date night! We started off with the best crab cake I have ever eaten and a baked goat cheese laden with local lavender honey and pistachios hot in a skillet. For entrees we had the duck and tournedos. The cook on both was why Dudley's gets a four instead of five. The duck was slightly overcooked but the fat hadn't been rendered enough. That being said, the confit duck in rice and accompanying veg were delish! The tournedos with crab meat were slightly more well than medium; however again, accompanying mashed potatoes and sauce were stunning. The ambience is perfect for a date night. It's in a beautiful spot on downtown with plenty of street parking , lot parking and garage parking nearby. On this day in particular, because the weather was so nice, the doors were also wide open allowing for beautiful fresh air during our meal. Service was excellent and quick. We will be back especially for that delicious decadent crab cake. Truly the best we've had in town!

One of my favorite restaurants in Lexington, and best brunch in town. I need to get around to eating dinner here soon as it's been many years since I've done so. I've never been disappointed by a meal I've had here, but the eggs benedict is phenomenal and their quiches are always delicious. Service is consistently good although it can get pretty busy, love the decor of the restaurant and all the racing memorabilia on the walls. Prices are reasonable in my opinion, especially for the quality of the food, and the rotating selection of biscuits/muffins they offer before your meal are always appreciated.

Amazing service and food! I made a reservation and was seated as soon as we arrived. Service was awesome for how busy they were. Food arrived fast and tasted amazing! This is definitely one of my favorite places in Lexington now.

Great ambiance, our server Nicholas was great. He had a ton of tables but we felt very well taken care of. The cauliflower app and the Parker house rolls were amazing. Good cocktails too!!

Food was pretty good. We were there for almost 3 hours though. We brought our own cake and the waitress offered to cut it for us. Turns out they charged us $15 to cut our own cake. Also- we gave the waitress a piece and I’m pretty sure she charged to cut the piece we gave her! Crazy!

As usual had a wonderfulful meal at Dudley's. The server was so sweet and friendly, she did a great job. Our meals were delicious, and a complimentary birthday brownie sundae topped the evening off. It's a favorite go to place in Downtown Lexington that is always a great experience!

Fantastic experience all around, will definitely be back!
Debbie always raises the bar! Chef Brad sent four different appetizers; Tuna and Beef Tartare, Crab Cake, and a Cauliflower appetizer out for sampling, and they all were outstanding. I ruined my Tortellini main course, which was the special, but I enjoyed enough of it to say it was great. Debbie, Thanks for the hospitality that you and your staff share with us!

We had eaten there before and had the best meal of our lives. This time everything was sub- par Three of our 4 meals were half eaten. No taste. Poor quality. So sorry. We had friends from out of town that day.

We had an excellent table for 2 by the fireplace. The service was great and the overall feel of the room was top notch. Our complaint was with the special of the day. My wife ordered the pasta dish and it was so salty that she could not eat it. We boxed it up but decided that it not worth saving. File 13.

We had a wonderful waiter but the food was just not very good. This is the second time this has happened in our last two visits and doubt that I will return. Beautiful place great service but the food just doesn't measure out. $100 not well spent. Again, we had a wonderful waiter.

My husband and I drove 35 minutes to return to Dudley's after coming a few weeks ago. I hate to admit it but we came back for the rolls! They are amazing! We both said we would be happy just eating their bread for our dinner! However, we loved the steak also! All of the staff that served us were warm and friendly. We will be back!
