I have waited several years to hit this spot in Ivy. I took my love for a very special meal with high expectations...they were met at almost every turn! The food was fantastic, the wine list very respectable, the service was exemplary, the overall experience was wonderful. One drawback...I realize that Duner's is a relatively casual place, but some customers... More

I have been eating here when in Charlottesville for a lot of years. Last night my wife and I arrived early just like you have to if you don"t want a long wait (5:30). I had mussels and hanger steak. The steak was well prepared but the sauce was too salty. The mussels tasted like they were cooked in milk.... More

Duner's is always crowded and is very noisy but the food is extremely good always, especially their sauces and soups. And they have a fairly priced wine list. I go there often because it is so good and so close to home.

We ate at Duner's on a Saturday night while visiting Charlottesville. We arrived about 6:30 and the host was very polite telling us how many people were ahead of us, how long the wait would be, and where we could hang out while waiting. The restaurant was busy, but not overly noisy. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and... More

Don't let the exterior appearance of this restaurant deter you (simple, one story, brick building). From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is one of warm welcome with gracious southern hospitality. The hostess and wait staff are all extremely attentive and professional. We were seated very promptly and it was in a small dining area which felt like home.... More

We went early on a Sunday night and had no problem getting a table. The setting is lovely, the service is friendly and helpful, and the food is creative and wholesome. Our server recommended the pistachio encrusted scallops and she was right! Trust your server! This was a very nice experience. Not all the food blew us away, but we'll... More

My daughter's and I went for a dinner after visiting some of the local wineries. Everyone's dinners were delicious. From what we understand the menu changes daily and includes something for everyone. The prices are a bit high but the whole experience was definitely worth it.

I believe the food at Duner's to be among the best I've had anywhere. An ambitious menu (trout, oysters, rockfish, steak, pork, chicken, you name it, it's usually there). Preparations are changed up frequently and are inventive and portions are healthy, making the prices justified, in my opinion. As upscale as the food is, the surroundings are not. So once... More

Amazing food! I had the trout with a vinegar flavored sauce and potatoes. My date had flank steak that was the best I've ever had. The other menu options looked very appetizing. The drink selections were ok. The decor looks like country kitchen. Some people were dressed up others had jeans with nice tops. I'm definitely planning my next visit... More
