Exceptional meal!! The oyster appetizer with jalapeño and cilantro aioli was fantasic.Entree was flank with asparagus and fingerling potatoes.The service was awesome! Duners exceeded our expectations!
We visited from Norfolk for the weekend and ate here last night, OMG, this was one of our best meals in years. We live by the water and are spoiled by all of the fresh seafood we get at home so we were hesitant to order seafood. Glad we did. Had the shrimp and grits app, super tasty with good medium/large sized shrimp. The mussels app by far took the cake. HUGE plump mussels, cooked perfectly, and about 2dz at least in the order for like $15. The broth it came with was so good, we were soaking it up with the complimentary bread.
Now onto the entrées. She had the beef tenderloin and I had the short ribs. Hers was cooked perfectly, we like it rare, and was one of the best steaks I’ve had in years, and I’ve had many. My ribs were so tender and the sauce was a cream based, not too overwhelming, just right. I wasn’t sure about short ribs as I’ve never had them, but it was like eating pot roast.
The staff was so nice, friendly and attentive. It was our anniversary and on our dessert they wrote happy anniversary in chocolate. That was a nice touch.
I would totally recommend eating here and would go back for sure.
Went there a few weeks ago and it was great as usual. Been a family favorite for 20 yrs. One of the reasons we love it is the consistency so if that changes, we probably won’t bother with the drive anymore but for now we love it that it’s one of the only places in this area that’s stayed the same!
Food was tasty. No wait with reservation even tho we got there 15 min early on a weeknight. Limited scotch selection. Other cocktails are good with a strong pour.
One of the best dining experiences we have had. Food, service, atmosphere, and all around attention were top notch and top shelf. We are leaving the Charlottesville community but we will not forget Duners Restaurant. A paradise of joy on Ivy Avenue
Kudos to Duners management for their timely response to our review..
Appreciated their attention and concern. Wishing them success. Looking forward to our next visit.
