    Thank you for helping me host a 70th birthday for my sister. Of course, the food was amazing as always. Duners' special touches made the night more memorable.

    Loved the ambiance, the attention to detail, had a good line-up of single malt scotch and bourbon/whiskey and the food was exceptional! Tuna and salmon were cooked to perfection and the vegetables were fresh and tasty. Oh, and we could not make up our minds on dessert there were so many great choices. Eventually, went with the coconut crème cake and it was out of this world!
