Duner's - Charlottesville

First visit to Duner's tonight, went with some friends that recommended it 8 years ago. Very rarely does a place live up to the expectations. I'm so happy we finally tried it. We all 4 loved it. Caleb made it a fantastic experience right out of the gate. All is the food was presented nicely and cooked and seasoned perfectly. This will be a regular spot in our rotation and my wife and I are planning who to take next! Thanks, Caleb! You guys are killing it.

Sometimes it's how you handle things when things don't go well at your restaurant. This place has very good food but an exceptional staff. They ran out of my first and second choice. After that, without being asked or even suggested, they did not charge for my entree and went above and beyond with a delicious wine upgrade. Our reservation was later in the evening. Restaurants run on very small margins and cannot afford to waste food. I totally understood that we would be faced with running out of our first or second choice. Before we even arrived they called to warn us that they were out of many of their items. This staff goes above and beyond. The gold standard.

Loved the pate. Braised short ribs had a nice flavor, star anise maybe? Nice dinner on a special occasion

We made a reservation after a recommendation from a friend. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary so we wanted a special evening and Duner's did not disappoint! Dillon was so attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu and wine list. He had excellent suggestions and the food was absolutely delicious! A gentleman (owner, manager) also stopped to talk and wish us a happy anniversary. We are so thankful to Duner's for helping us celebrate our special occasion. It was an exceptional dining experience.

One of the best dining experiences we have had. Food, service, atmosphere, and all around attention were top notch and top shelf. We are leaving the Charlottesville community but we will not forget Duners Restaurant. A paradise of joy on Ivy Avenue
