Local Favorite!. Duner’s is a comfortable place with a diverse menu. I love the booths. The fish dishes are always well portioned and fresh. I am always tempted to get the crab cakes which are large and excellent. I do wish they would offer a half plate for smaller appetites. The fresh bread is always warm and good. The service is so attentive that my children have often counted the number of times we have been checked on with water refills, etc. believe it or not 60+ times! So nice to have an excellent local eatery where you can dress for a night out or be just as comfortable with well behaved children and a casual dinner. Make sure to arrive early or you are likely to wait outside or at the bar, especially on weekends.
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 be back.
Delicious!. Duner’s delivers a delicious dining experience day-in and day-out! Have eaten there several times over the past couple of years and have enjoyed it every time.
Why do I Forget About This Place. Duner’s is a small restaurant in Ivy on hwy 250 that has been there since the early 80’s. I cannot count the number of times I have eaten there and almost always leave full and happy. The service can be slow at times but I have always found it worth the wait. Tonight was no exception. It was fairly busy yet we were seated fast, as I get older I find the seating a little hard and uncomfortable but I’m a grumpy old man. My waitress was there promptly and we order a nice bottle of Spanish wine, she also took our appetizer order. I’m a sucker for Country Pate and order that along with the Potato Gnocchi with the Kobe Beef Ragout. When the gnocchi arrived it was like a tomato spaghetti sauce and we did not like it at all. She took the dish away and brought us the Baked Spinach and Brie Cheese with Orange-Jalapeno Marmalade with a Balsamic Glaze. It was piping hot and just a mouthful of flavors. I love the texture of the crostini with the tartness of the balsamic glaze and the sweetness of the marmalade. She also did not charge us for the gnocchi even though I told her I would pay for it. The pate is always wonderful and a plenty for 2 people all by itself. I love the Granny Smith apple with the toast points and coarse Dijon mustard. I always ask for diced onion to go with it and they never bat an eye to do something extra.Salads here are always fresh and not to complicated. I love the mesclun greens they used and they have a great bleu cheese dressing. The vinaigrettes are also good. And I love the sourdough braided bread, it is dense and chewy and usually shut everyone up for a little while. For dinner I ordered the Grilled Soy Glazed Tuna with Spicy Peanut Sauce and Asian-Vegetable Slaw with sushi rice and Red Pepper -Ginger Glaze. It was a perfect seared rare and melted in your mouth and the Red pepper Ginger glaze gave it a nice kick. The other dish was the Seared Duck Breast and Confit Duck Leg with Arugula Sptzle and a Dried Cherry Glaze. The duck was order medium rare and was cooked perfectly, the slightly sweet and tart cherry glaze was a great accompaniment to the duck and went surprising well with the sptzle. The presentation on both dishes was spot on and we ate ever bite.I never can leave without eating dessert and always get the Crme Caramel a type of flan that will make you lick your plate. The other dessert was Chocolate Mousse Dome Cake with Crme Anglaise and Raspberry Pure; it was dark chocolate heaven, and such a large portion. How can you go wrong with custard sauce and raspberry pure? Such perfect trio! I was glad the seats were uncomfortable because I would have probably fallen asleep after this meal. It had been a long time since I had been to Duner’s and I still can’t figure out why it has been so long. I read that the service can be rude here but I never found it to be that way. Sometimes the servers can be a little schoolmarmish but they care about what they do and sometimes the customer needs to pay attention when the server is at the table. It was one of the best meals I had had in years.Visited November 2011
Great & pricey food. Waiters can be snobby. No frills stripped down interior.
More about quantity than quality…the favors didn’t well together on any dish. Very disappointing. The best part was the waitress’ personality
