    Fun restaurant. Great friendly and casual vibe. Loved the fried oysters and the homemade tartar sauce with the crab cakes.

    Longtime fairly frequent patron. Have absolutely loved this place for decades. Service just seems consistently … off … legit uncomfortable and unfriendly. Who knows what reason, but has been noticeable last 3 visits. Food not good enough to overcome. Will remove from rotation for a few months maybe permanently…

    First time back since Duner’s changed hands. We were greeted warmly, seated on the porch, which was warm and comfortable. Noise level not as bad as it usually is in the main dining room. Service was perfect, attentive, friendly. Thrilled to see the duck egg rolls and fried oysters still on the menu; they do not disappoint! Crab cakes were stellar, as always. (Duners and Hamiltons are the only places I will order crab cakes in Cville; grew up picking crab so I have high standards and expect crab cakes without filler.) My husband had the lamb and declared it delicious and perfectly prepared. Almond streusel with cherries a al mode was phenomenal, as was my husband’s raspberry chocolate cake. So happy to know the best parts of the old Duners live on.

    Great place to eat. My husband and I went there post Valentine’s Day. Busy evening but we were well taken cared of and food was wonderful! Will definitely plan on coming here in the future!

    It was Valentine’s Day so quite busy. Great food for the price. My only complaint was sitting on the patio in winter even with heaters and window covers, my tush was cold sitting on the benches. I moved to a chair but the chairs were not comfortable. Service seemed rushed to get us out so the next wave of diners could come in. Overall, I’d go back and will recommend others to check it out. I would like to check out that place on a normal night not on the patio.
