Dudley’s is legendary for a reason: exquisite food, exceptional service, outstanding drinks. On this evening Beef Wellington was a special…and it was outstanding: beautifully seasoned, perfectly cooked. The smoked trout deviled eggs were also memorably delicious.

We have dined at Tony's more times than we can count. The food and service are consistently excellent, with welcoming hosts, knowledgeable and courteous wait staff, and food that is perfectly prepared and beautifully presented by an extraordinary chef and kitchen staff. We have never had a bad experience. Folks who go to Tony's seem to be happy folks, so it can get a little noisy at times. But, when telephoning to make your reservations, you can request a booth. If one is available, your request will be accommodated. We continue to rate Tony's two thumbs up and five stars!

The food at Zim's is always good. My only complaint is that it was extremely cold on 8/10/22. Special request - please add quiche to your weekday menu.

The wagyu steak was a work of art and the crab cake was great. The wine selection as well as the bourbon selection was expansive. Enjoyed the whole experience.
