Dudley's On Short

Dudley’s it was!! Yesterday I asked for some recommendations for some fine dining places in lex. I spent so long going through online looking at the menus to figure out what I wanted. Well I settled for 3Ten after the Michael Blaustein show. I walk in the doors right at 9pm and their kitchen was closed, at 9 😢 so I was so disappointed the Bao sounded so good!! Well I called Dudley’s, they were still serving food! Let me tell you, I was so pleased with Dudley’s. I was one of the only couple customers left, I sat at the bar and met Shannon the bartender. One of the friendliest bartenders and has served me the one of the prettiest/best amaretto sour I have ever had, he recommended to add an egg white and we sure did and omggg so yummy!! Too many things on the menu caught my eye, so I said t

We had a great experience at Dudley’s on Short! The Korean Fried Cauliflower was absolutely amazing — crispy, flavorful, and one of the highlights of the meal. My lamb shank had great flavor and the potatoes, kale, and demi-glace were delicious, though the meat itself could’ve used another hour of cooking to be perfectly tender.

A large group of us came here on a weeknight for a business dinner. The staff was very helpful and accommodating.

The entrée I chose was a barramundi done Cajun style and it was also prepared quite nicely and flavorful, though I did have to spike it up with a little Tabasco sauce.

We came for a Christmas Eve lunch on our Kentucky vacation and the food was delicious. We had baked oysters, and beef filet and short rib entrees with the tastiest jam cake. The service was attentive, top notch. A proper cocktail menu and the atmosphere was so festive and cozy. This historic place feels more like a residence more than a restaurant. There was something homey about it which made it perfect for a holiday away from home. This is fine dining at its best in downtown Lexington.

I have one thing to tell you-finishing salt on warm soft bread. This is the first thing that greets you at the table. The pork chops is thick, moist and fantastic with a watermelon salad. The jalapeño cornbread is excellent! If you are in Lexington please visit Dudley’s!
