Dudley's On Short provides exceptional service and cuisine. The staff ensures a perfect evening, anticipating every need. The menu boasts excellent dishes, including crab cakes, Brussels sprout salad, and steak. The Peruvian braised chicken and salmon tartare are also available. The tuxedo sundae is outstanding and the star of the show. The filet mignon is another highlight. The atmosphere is beautiful and conducive to conversation. Servers are attentive, personable, and delightful. It is a perfect spot for a brunch with wonderful fresh cinnamon raisin muffins and lemon poppyseed scones. The hot brown is a great choice. The daily special, like the swordfish, is perfect with great flavors and presentation. They also offer a happy anniversary cake slice with ice cream. Overall, Dudley's On Short offers a memorable dining experience, focusing on seasonal and local offerings with a Southern spin. It's a must-do when in Lexington.
The food is world class, but the service from the staff is amazing! Would recommend to anyone.

Had a problem getting a reservation but the owner did a great job accommodating a party of 11 for brunch on a Sunday. The service was great and all the food was great.
