   Excellent menu, good service and a quieter dining area than usual made for a wonderful evening. The staff took special care to make our anniversary dinner special!

   I enjoyed Duner’s, as always, and believe our guests did, as well. No complaints!

   Everything they cook here has been perfect. We live in DC, but come to Charlottesville a couple times a year and ALWAYS make sure to visit Duner's on every trip. Everything is always just right.

   Food was spectacular, everything we ordered was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. Excellent wine list. The drawback here is definitely the small space. While the quaint nature of the establishment certainly adds to the charm, they need to think through their spacing a bit so it doesn't feel as claustrophobic. Perhaps think about limiting the number of groups over 4 that are seated at similar times. My husband and I were seated in the main room in the center area in front of the bar. It was impossible to have even the most basic level of conversation as we were sandwiched between two large parties to each side of us. And because of how the tables were arranged, it left only the space beside us for everyone (servers, guests, food runners, etc) to walk by, hitting our elbows or needing us to move slightly out of their way (by no fault of their own - it was the only way anyone could go in/out of the seated space). All in all, we look forward to going back to explore the menu, and we left very satisfied with our meals and overall service. But the experience itself was uncomfortable (at best) because of the space issue. Notes: our reservation was a January Saturday night at 7pm and we are lean/average in size.

   Very disappointing and overpriced meal. The kitchen was backed up, service was very meh and my trout entree was dry by the time it arrived. After giving it another shot after my last so-so meal, it is not the same old Duners sadly.

   We were place at our table on time. The restaurant was extremely busy. As a result, we had a hard time finding a place to park. We were in a booth so the noise of the place was minimal. Great menu options. The food was outstanding. Every person was pleased with their choice. The service was a tad slow due to the busy night, but we were never rushed to leave. A very pleasant evening with long time friends.

    Duner's was excellent, as usual. The food was very good, and the service from Lynn was excellent. The ambience was a bit less quiet than usual. Even at an early hour there were many customers there.
