    We came for the Easter brunch buffet and wow ! What a gorgeous presentation with delicious options from pastries to eggs to avocado toast and a mini salad bar. I really loved the fruit, French toast, and the carrot cake. The service was great and the restaurant is stunning. Would definitely go back for another brunch experience and would like to try for dinner.

    Gray and Dudley is great but in my opinion not worth the price. The cocktails are good, the appetizers are good, the food over all was good and service was good. If your look for an environment there really isn’t much here. Located in a hotel lobby it feels like an upscale lobby restaurant. You’re gonna find a more sports bar feel than a place for a date night and spend about double the price for what I’d consider food on the same level of some sports bars. If you’re looking for a place with more of a vibe I’d look across the alley to black rabbit. Overall the knock on this place is the price and environment I wish it was more of a stand alone restaurant. To justify the price of the food and cocktails.

    We went for restaurant week last night. The food and ambiance were great! There was 3 of us and we had the deviled eggs, goat cheese crostini, and brussel sprouts to start. Then 2 of us got the steak frites and I had the salmon. The food was top notch. The only downside was very slow service. The restaurant was slow so it didn’t make much sense for the slow service. But everything came out great!
