This was my second time and I can't imagine ever being disappointed at Duner's! This last time I was with a picky group of men and they were SO happy and wowed by everything. So delicious and our waitress was so great. Loved it all!! Already have another reservation lined up.

We had a wonderful relaxed meal. The trout was superb, the brussels spouts were outstanding, and overall everything was delicious!

Duner's is a great restaurant. Food is fantastic and the atmosphere makes you feel like you want to stay longer.
Janice
We've eaten at Duners many times and have never been disappointed. The food is always well prepared and delicious, the portion sizes are appropriate, and the service is excellent. The fact that many of the wait staff have been working there a long time speaks volumes in itself. The casual atmosphere makes it very comfortable, if rather loud, something that can't be helped due to the acoustics of the rooms. We will be back!

We had a wonderful experience at Duner's for my parents' 49th wedding anniversary. The food was exceptional, with very generous portions and perfect flavors. And we were very well taken care of by the service team!

The Duner's staff last night (11/12/2025) was absolutely stunning! I proposed to my, now, fiancé a few hours before coming to Duner's. Upon arrival, our waitress asked if we were there for any special occasion. I told her that I had just proposed to the love of my life sitting across from me. The Duner's staff then proceeded to make an already amazing day even better! They started by giving us two glasses of champagne on the house. We both ordered drinks then had our appetizer and entrees. We were stuffed and the food was amazing! Our waitress then asked if we were interested in dessert. We respectfully declined. Then, she said that if we chose to get dessert, that it too would be on the house! We were already astonished by the tremendous service at this point. Then the check comes and I notice Duner's had taken care of our two drinks we ordered! We had such a great dinner and were on the way to our car when a staff member, I believe it was the bartender, stopped us outside and gifted us a bottle of champagne!! And then proceeded to congratulate us once again. So in total, Duner's gave us two glasses of champagne, two cocktails, a dessert, and a bottle of champagne on the house! I truly want to thank Duner's and the tremendous service and generosity we received. 10/10!! I cannot wait to come back in the future with my soon to be wife!

Food was very good though my steak was very salty (& I love salt but this was a bit much). Noisy but beautful atmosphere. We will be back.

Despite hearing from many people that this is one of their favorite Charlottesville restaurants, I was a bit let down on my second visit by the visual appeal of the four main courses served. --a distinct lack of color and overall "pizzazz". My husband agreed. Hopefully, this was a one-off.

Duners is such a hidden gem in the Charlottesville area. I've been going there for years for dinner and had the pleasure of sharing it with some out of town friends this weekend. As always, Duners never disappoints!
Opentable Diner
The room was noisy and chilly. The food was mediocre and resulted in a dull birthday celebration.
They were very busy. Service was quick after our table was acknowledged. It was very cold on the porch. Was told it was heated, but don't think heat was on. There were also gaps around the window coverings. Space definitely needs to be winterized before guests are seated on the new porch.
Lorraine
What a find! This will. now be out "go to" for special occasions. The service was the best we've experienced in Charlottesville, and the food was Devine and artfully served. Loved every minute of it!
Joe
The food was kind of a mixed bag. The duck I ordered along with the wild rice was excellent. However, my wife's trout and white rice was devoid of flavor. Very bland.
Kelley
Loved the atmosphere + the beautiful food choices. Food arrived piping hot + perfectly cooked. Loved it!

Our server Kayla was amazing and made the experience extra special. Coming from out of town for the first time, we had to rely on reviews. We are so glad we found this place, and the reviews were spot on. Duners is a gem, and the food was spectacular.
