“Pure mouth explosion with the perfect bite! I am from a Lexington and never had visited Dudleys. My boyfriend took me for my 57th b day. We weren't super hungry but the little eggs (no trout) were so savory and delightful. We ordered the crab cake and it come atop the roumalade and some grits and it was fried to perfection and that is the best crab cake I've had lately. Hands down better than Sedonas I had at Christmas.
I'm so happy we went there I enjoyed th Brussel sprout salad although I consider that more of a side item. We also had the Caesar which felt the anchovy would have been best hidden, chopped in the dressing. But one thing bothered us both.
We had a two top and off in a corner to ourselves and got to enjoy most the meal alone. The restaurant was empty besides a large party at one table. They sat another couple almost in our laps. The hostess needs to discern how that may affect our experience. This couple come in visually and audibly at the wrong time and our moods and conversation didn't flow as we could hear every word they said and vise versa. I'd say m to do better but who knows if it will make a difference. I still had a great birthday and bucket list item checked. I may go back for drinks and lunch. Also if you go do the valet. We didn't know they had that.
Thanks for a lovely meal.“

University of Kentucky Dining Fine Dining • $
160 Ave of Champions, Lexington

“Food is pretty hit or miss. All the places that serve the same thing are mid, but the workers are generally pretty nice. The cafeteria itself is pretty chill, realistically a 3.5/5.

For fellow broke college students, I recommend getting at least one of the green takeout boxes, I prefer 2 (one for dry food, the other for wet food). This will help you cut your meal expenses from ~$12 per meal down to ~$5.

Dietary restrictions: They have a place for people w/ food allergies, as well as a vegan restaurant and a salad bar.“
