    Dined there for our Anniversary with intentions to also book our company Christmas Party. It was 6:00 PM on a Friday and only the small bar area was crowded. My wife ordered a bottle of Burgundy Wine from their list. Server came back 10 minutes later to let us know that they were out of that wine with no offered substitutes. When it came time to order, the server let us know that they were out of the Short Ribs, which my wife was going to order (strike 2). Instead, she ordered Escargot, Lobster Bisque and we shared Oysters Rockefeller. Escargot and Oysters were very good but the Bisque was closer to Tomato Soup which overpowered the Lobster (strike 3). I had the Shrimp Cocktail and Filet Mignon and enjoyed both along with several Popover Rolls. The owner was visible to our table but did not check to see if we were enjoying our meals. Guess she knew the answer... Heard the server wait on a table behind us, letting them know that they were also out of Escargot. Guess they only had 1 serving... The bill came to $254. and we still tipped our server well, as she was the only bright spot during the evening. Needless to say, we will not book our Christmas Party at Duling Kurtz and doubt they will even be open that long.

    only reason I gave this 4 stars as we were put upstairs and the room was small and was full so noise level was not the best.

    We went to Duling Kurtz for Father's Day because it is my husband's favorite restaurant. We liked our meal as much as we always do. Our son tried something for the first time since we were in Belgium but he didn't like it. Service was good.

    We always enjoy eating at the Duling Kurtz House. We think it’s Chester County’s best restaurant from the ambiance to the food. It’s a great experience, if you haven’t been yet.
