Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stopped here for lunch after a morning hike nearby. Restaurant is cosy and has a unique feel/ style. Menu was ok, prices on higher side . I had bruschetta which was disappointing....was slices of tomato on toast...drizzled with toppings. Looked unappealing and was nothing to...rave about. Friend had parma which was a big serve- chips were really nice too. A bit of a tourist trap I think.More

I had the seafood risotto. It was terrible the only recognisable sea food was scallops and they were raw. I cshould have sent it back. The other meals were passable but for the prices they were changing they should have been better. Will never go...againMore

We were very happy we found Dudley’s to be open on a Monday night, and had a lovely dinner. The food was great, the service excellent ( thank you Oliver) and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Would definitely recommend.

I had the worst seafood risotto that I have ever eaten. $38, only recognisable seafood was a few scallops, not really tasting fresh. In spite of the description, I could not see any other seafood, possibly mush in the rice. I really should have sent...it back to the kitchen and refused to pay for it. Needless to say, I will not be returning to Dudley's.More

I’m reluctant to write a bad review given the problems the hospitality sector has at present but our Father’s Day lunch caused me to change my mind. It started when the FOH staff couldn’t work the computerised booking system and had to find the handwritten...paper copy. Order taking was slow, haphazard but cheerful. The menu was a pre-publishe limited 2/3 course fixed price affair. Entrees eventually arrived and ranged from meh to acceptable. After a long wait, dessert was brought to the table … but we hadn’t had our main courses. These were finally served 90 minutes after our arrival. 3 steaks, all ordered m/r were in varying stages of cooking. The veal cotoletta,that had morphed into beef cotoletta between booking and arrival, was tough and dry. Maybe the poor beast died of natural causes! Drinks service was slow, table clearing was haphazard, change of cutlery between courses consisted of a handful of cutler and a pile of paper napkins being dumped in the middle of the table. For an occasion when the place was booked out, with a restricted menu and hence no surprises for the establishment, the delivery was woeful. Despite their obvious inexperience, the staff were uniformly cheerful and wished us all a happy Father’s Day. It could have been much happier.More

Both indoor and outdoor seating, we were offered outdoors and enjoyed it immensely. There is a wonderful backstory to the naming of the restaurant - so go visit and find out. The menu has enough choices to suit different tastes, and the staff are knowledgeable...about the various dishes. Our food was served quickly, hot and absolutely beautiful.More

Snobby staff. 2nd visit. First visit was also below average but thought it was just the rude woman. Gave them a second chance. Despite plenty of outdoor seating it was off limits. Also seating available indoors but after speaking to the two male staff members...we weren’t sticking around. For a restaurant that barely had any patrons I was surprised- anyway down the road in Sassafras great food and service.More

We often frequent Dudley’s with our two children and always find it delicious. For Mother’s Day this year we had the set 3 course menu. It was an extraordinary beautiful meal with excellent service. Thank you for always making a night out great.

A lot has been written about Dudley's, the service, ambience staff and the food. I would like to highlight the skill of Italian Chef Lena, her cuisine overall is a delight, however I really love a good Tiramisu and here is where Lena has excelled....Would you believe a lemon Tiramisu? Just had to try it...….Yum!More
