Dudley's On Short

"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!"

"What an amazing experience! Tartine was so good and so was the Brussel sprout salad. I ordered the lamb shank and my girlfriend had the duck special and they paired a wine for us that was very good."

"The crab cake appetizer was to die for! Absolutely delicious. I had the filet medallions. It was just a little too salty for me but overall I enjoyed it! ***4 stars due to not offering a military/veteran discount***"

"Our group of four friends enjoyed a night out in Lexington and visited Dudley's on a Friday evening. We were seated and sat for 30 minutes without being greeted by any of the waitstaff. After speaking with management, the situation was immediately made up for by them generously comping our group's drinks and appetizers. We started with calamari and their meat and cheese platter. The calamari was breaded and cooked perfectly. The meat and cheese platter was stellar as well. I ordered from their prix fixe menu for Lexington's restaurant week, opting for the chilled sweet corn bisque, pork tenderloin, and blueberry tart. I don't think I could possibly put how fantastic this meal was into words, but the best I can do is say that the corn bisque had a wonderfully spicy chili oil that set the entire dish off onto another planet. The tenderloin was cooked perfectly and was complemented by the blueberry jam in a way that I would not have thought possible. The blueberry tart was the perfect way to end the meal, not overly heavy, but with a cardamom merengue that sent this dessert to another planet (which is where I'm sure they pulled their executive chef from, because there's nothing like them here on Earth). Overall, Dudley's took what could have been a disastrous start and made the evening memorable for all of the right reasons. This restaurant has my vote for the best in Lexington, and I would gladly visit again the next time I'm in town."

"Dudley’s is a place we will return! Staying in Lexington a couple of days and trying new places to eat. This one did not disappoint! Everything about it was a five star. Check this restaurant out when in the area! We’ll be back to check out the rooftop eating area. It was a rainy day and it wasn’t opened but the waiter gave us a tour. Gorgeous!"
