    Unfortunately, when I made reservations for last night, the new menu had not been posted on-line and I did not realize that the menu had been truncated (apparently for a wedding rehearsal dinner). Anyway, there were no appealing entrees last night, so we had salad and bread (both delicious, as usual) and appetizers. The mussels were particularly good last night with a thicks and adherent sauce. Service from Lynn was excellent, as usual. It would be nice to post menus in a timelier fashion so better decisions can be made about reservations. As I've said here MANY times, we are big fans of Duner's. Yet, sometimes nothing on the menu for a certain time appeals, and it would be nice to know that prior to going to the restaurant.

    We ALWAYS have a great meal at Duners. It is ALWAYS our “go to restaurant “ when we are in Charlottesville.

    Hannah was just what we needed tonight, she was exceptionally attentive but also kind and generous. Duners is a home run every time I have been there for 30 years

    Great non-chain option in Ivy. I went on a Sunday evening after a long day of wine tastings thinking it wouldn't be busy. Man was I wrong. This place is super popular. As dinner arrived I was able to see why. I had the tenderloin and my wife had the crabcakes. Both were cooked perfectly. We can't wait to go back again.

    We wanted to try a new spot for a Sunday dinner to celebrate our son's birthday and enjoy getting out of town to try these gems in neighboring towns. Duner's did not disappoint, we went early because we were bringing kids and our server, Kala, was fantastic. This has a pretty classic high end restaurant in a country house type setting feel. The food was excellent.

    The food was a bit bland for the price point. The lighting was fluorescent and the space small & cramped with tables. This was my first time eating there and I had high expectations based on other reviews. I may give it another try sometime in the future but not likely.
