My wife and I go here every Christmas. Duling Kurtz never disappoints. The food, the service, and the atmosphere is outstanding. We never felt like we were being rushed. On average, we are there between two and three hours. If I were to use a single word to describe Duling Kurtz, it would be perfection!
