    Duck was excellent, as was the trout. Fantastic dessert selection. Good folks behind the bar - both my Manhattan and Boulevardier were outstanding. Tina did a great job taking care of us - professional and just the right amount of presence!

    There were 3 of us last evening. We were seated promptly, served quickly and accurately, and it was service with a smile! The food, fish and beef, were excellent and prepared as requested. Will continue to dine at Duners!

    My wife and I have eaten at Duners on 4-5 occasions. Our most recent dinner was a clear disappointment. We like the simple decor and atmosphere. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. However, the meal this time out, was very mediocre. First the good. As an appetizer, we ordered the crispy brussel sprouts. They were excellent! The bread was also very good. The very mediocre. My wife and I both ordered the NC Rainbow Trout. It's supposed to be a crusty almond trout. This is a familiar arrangement and I've had this at several other restaurants. The trout was absolutely waterlogged and mushy. The polenta and beets were cooked nicely but had very little flavor. I also noticed that all the items had the same coloring so the presentation looked rather cheap and uninteresting. Both of our dishes had very similar issues. Duners has achieved a very good reputation over the years. I believe the new owner is the same chef that has been there forever, so our experience is especially curious. Duners is not an inexpensive restaurant and I would expect much more.

    The food and service was wonderful. The atmosphere was more family-style, with a lot of family and friends enjoying themselves, which was more warm and welcoming than we expected. The servers and som continually checked in with us throughout the evening and were very friendly, personable, and accommodating.
