    I had a lovely dinner with myself to celebrate my birthday. The tagliatelle ragu was delish as was the calamari appetizer. It was comfortable and the service very kind and attentive. Great atmosphere. Loved the tea lights as a nice touch. Only comment is I was in the corner and it was a little dim on lighting so I had to use my flashlight to read menu but this was not a big deal. My server Tré was amazing. Thank you Dudley's!

    Had a great meal! Started at the bar and the bar tenders are so attentive! Make amazing drinks! Started with a half dozen oysters, then had the half chicken for dinner which was incredible! Our server was very knowledgeable about the wine and gave us tastes of a few which was really nice! This is a great restaurant that I will go back to over and over!

    Our waiter and waitress were amazing. They made our experience wonderful and appreciated how accommodating they were. I think I lost my gold wedding band that fell off my hand while at dinner. I will call back tomorrow but if anyone found it— it’s very meaningful as my husband just purchased me a new band after 8 years of us saving up for it. Thank you
