Girls night was perfect! The salmon on red wheat berry 'risotto' with a parsnip sauce was certainly the best meal I've had in a long time - actually going back tonight to have it again! Daughter loved the roasted pheasant - which always have a fair amount of sinew but this one was so moist and flavorful you will forgive the bird for its flaws. Served on a bed of wild rice, cooked to perfection and a butternut puree, it couldn't be better! Cocktails were excellent and the atmosphere ideal. We love to sit in the bar which looks out on a bustling downtown street for added entertainment!

The atmosphere is awesome. The decor is adorable. However, the food wasn't great for the price. There are way better places in Lexington for the money.

Decided to eat at Dudley's before the Kentucky-Kansas game this past Saturday. Service was great and the food was even better. The only glitch was when we walked in to the hostess desk, the young hostess was on her phone and did not even look up at her. Finally a man, I would say the manager, came over and got things moving. Our waiter was great and the salmon and black rice was super. Only thing that needs some attention is at the beginning.

We wanted to love it. Loved the room, the decor, the fantastic waiter, but the food was off. The calamari and fries were so very salty. The food was so-so. If they can straighten out the food issues, it would be top notch. We still enjoyed our evening very much - it's quite beautiful and the staff was excellent.

Interesting paintings in main dining room. Entrance not well marked. Tables very close together, easy to overhear conversations at adjoining tables. Service was okay. Food was good, although waiter brought wrong lamb dish (there were two on menu). Spanish octopus appetizer was very good, as were the Tournedos and chocolate pumpkin cake. Thought it overly expensive.
