Service was really good. Ambience was warm and homy. We ordered crispy Brussel sprouts, crab cake, avocado crunch salad, lamb bolognese, and curry salmon. Also order a bourbon cocktail and chocolate mousse. Everything tastes great! We had a great time after a whole ski. Staff were all very friendly!

We absolutely adore Duemani and their most recent upgrades have taken Duemani to an even more stellar level! Darko and his team always greet with a smile, recognize not only us but many of their other regular patrons by name. We feel very special whenever we come to Duemani and the food, service, music, and ambiance is magnificent. Add to that, the recent upgrades to the Cove downstairs which we used last year for my wife's birthday have made this room even more spectacular. A++. Thank you everyone!
