    Always one of our favorites for years. Last two visits however we’ve experienced significant delays in getting our food from the kitchen. From ordering to main dish plates on the table was almost 1:30 minutes for our table of four . I’ll keep coming back despite this and server did her best to keep us informed and gave us free desserts. But something has changed in the kitchen and it’s impacting timeliness.

    Duner's was very busy last night. Perhaps, people were tired of being trapped inside by the snow/ice. The food and service were very good, as usual. I had the tuna which was cooked perfectly. The salad and bread were excellent, as always. Despite the crowd, the service was quite good. We always recommend Duner's.

    I will always go back to Duners. Drinks are pricey. And they add a credit service charge. But the meals are better than average-not like fabulous gourmet, but very good. Wait staff is very professional. Overall always a good experience and my first choice in Cville.

    Not our first meal here, and always good! Nice balance in the menu between standard and ‘something new’.

    Food delicious as always. We had blackbean& pumpkin soup, thick juicy porkchop and NC trout. Service was a bit slower than normal but server was very gracious and mindful. The new addition does have multiple heaters going to ward off the cold.

    We had a great meal of soup, salad, bread, and appetizer. We were not very hungry and did not have an entree. The food was excellent, and Sasha was wonderful as our server. Nice people, great food, great service, and nice ambience.

    Service was excellent, food was presented very well and was very good but not able to give them a 5 star. Although white table cloth, the restaurant is a bit noisy and crowded mainly just due to the configuration of the building. Price point is on the high end. Second time eating here and I will go back.
