I took away 2 stars because of: (a) PRICES - not very affordable. and (b) ENVIRONMENT - they were playing "urban music" with a lot of bass SO FREAKING LOUD, it was downright uncomfortable. The music just did not mesh with the "Cajun" theme whatsoever. I don't really foresee me coming back unless they lower their prices AND tone down the music.

We make an early 5pm resy and there is a line of folks in the parking lot waiting to enter...great sign! It's not a huge restaurant but there is a secondary porch area which was opened during the pandemic so it looks like the space has doubled. It's a quaint and cozy feel and everyone is friendly and inviting. The menu isn't huge but there's a good selection of beef, fish, chicken dishes. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts app was very tasty..had a nice kick to it with good flavor. The Halibut, creamy Shrimp & Sausage Pasta and the Coq au Vin were all very enjoyable. Fresh ingredients and just good solid dishes all around. What we really enjoyed was the Coconut Cake with fresh berries. Wow, fluffy cake with a nice berry sauce and fresh whipped cream. One of the best coconut cakes we've had. Been very impressed with the Charlottesville food scene and Duner's didn't disappoint.

Note: I am a crab cake connoisseur. I eat them all over the country and here is my opinion based on…read moremy tastes and experiences (I travel the country and try to find local places like this to try... I've eaten crab cakes all over including several famous MD crab cakes and I work at a fresh seafood market where we make our own crab cakes. So when I say I know my crab cakes.... I know my crab cakes. Talk of the mountain: this is a super cute and friendly small restaurant located on Main Street. It is very local friendly and the kind of place the staff/owners would know your name and your regular order. I LOVE that. The staff are warm and inviting. You can watch them breading your food and chat with them as you eat. I loved watching. We got the crab cake with fried oysters and shrimp plate with Mac n cheese and fries and hush puppies and another fried shrimp plate with their slaw. It was pretty pricey but we expected that when buying quality seafood. The fried shrimp were absolutely incredible as were the fried oysters (minus the pearl my son found in the one he ate... but again not too much of a surprise). The taste was great, the cook time was perfect, they were delicious! The fries were seasoned and tasty as were the hush puppies (nothing to scream about but definitely good!) the slaw was good (according to my son... I'm not a slaw person). The Mac n cheese was definitely different but not exactly mind blowing. I felt indifferent I didn't love it and feel like I needed it tomorrow, but it wasn't bad. I honestly didn't have an opinion either way on it but I did eat it. The crab cake. The good: this was literally packed with crab meat. Obviously we seek out places that Jam Pack their crab cakes with actual pieces of quality lump crab. Talk of the Mountain certainly does this.... In my opinion to the extreme. When they say zero fillers, they MEAN IT. So does zero fillers make a good crab cake? In my opinion not this way. It was not my cup of tea and I love crab and crab cakes (obviously). It seemed like their formula for the binder was a mustard based concoction and then it was solid crab. The flavor left a lot to be desired and it didn't feel like eating crab cake because there was no filler at all. Making crab cakes is such a delicate balance, a true art in my opinion and while TOTM most definitely is serious about ensuring you taste the crab in their "cakes" the end result was more of a pile of lump crab with a sauce. All that being said I would absolutely eat there again. They were fabulous and I truly applaud their style. This is just my personal perspective from the one visit. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area! Rating: my knee jerk is to give this a 4 because I really am not a fan of the Crabcake and would not order it again, however everything else and the people were 10 stars so I feel like a 5 star rating is deserved. If they ever modified their recipe I would try it again happily AND will def eat there again. The shrimp and oyster was phenomenal.

We had to drop off some items in the area and wanted to get dinner before heading back, so we looked over the menu and reviews. It seemed like it would be perfect for seafood lovers, and we were able to snag one of the last tables available. From the time we walked in, the service was amazing. The staff made great recommendations, checked on us frequently without being intrusive, and made sure we were enjoying our first experience there. Even the other customers were super friendly and told us they had been coming back for years for the great food and service. We both loved our meals. The breading on my fish was really crispy (a recommendation from the server), and the hush puppies were delicious. The portions were very generous, and I really enjoyed my leftovers the next day! The decor there is also super cute. They have several old soda machines outside and adorable crab-themed items inside and outside. Even though it's a bit of a drive, we both agreed that it will be well worth another trip in the future!

They give you all sorts of sauce and special butter for the baked sweet potatoes. The waitress was really nice and came back and refilled my soda a lot.
