    Our night out at Dudley’s was a very enjoyable affair. The staff made us feel special with their friendly manners, attentiveness, and care. The food was delicious from the surprisingly dense and delectable buns, to the substantial crab cake and devilled eggs appetizers, to the beet salad that looked like a stained glass piece of art. The hot brown was good and the lamb was good underneath the thick layer of fat. The snickerdoodle cheesecake was the perfect ending to our meal. We would definitely eat here again.

    The atmosphere was calming and I enjoyed the vocal jazz music, which happens to be my favorite genre of music. The service was top shelf and the food was very good.
