    Celebrated our anniversary with the New York Strip and the Rockfish. Both were excellent. The bread is always to die for. Service was attentive but with quiet grace. Duner's has been our special dinner place for 30 years, and with good reason.

    Duner's is best described as a provincial favorite. Have been dining here for over 24 years and plan to keep returning.

    Dinner was wonderful, the fried oysters app were the hi-light of our dining experience. The lamb rack and Rockfish entre were perfectly prepared. Service was friendly and professional. Highly recommend reservations!

    Always wonderful Food but our visit had extremely uneven service as if we were a constant after thought. Very surprising -but more than one staff person was harried and less than gracious. We will of course try again as we have loved Duner’s for decades . Hoping it was just an off night.

    this was my first time at Duner's. It was one of the best meals I have had. The steak was melt in your mouth good. The flourless chocolate cake was awesome! I loved every bite! It's a great place for a special occasion.
    Duners RestaurantResponded on June 5, 2025
    Thank you for saying such wonderful things about the meal! I will be certain to share this with the kitchen team; they put their hearts into every plate, and it means the world to them to hear that they were well received. We hope we can take care of you again soon! Matthew Blaszak General Manager
