This is the only restaurant inside the Doubletree Hotel in Charlottesville, and I must say that the…read morefood we had was pretty damn good all things considering. This hotel is in the middle of a college town that has pretty much nothing except Wal-Mart and a Gold's Gym, and it exceeded my expectations for food quality. What I had during my stay there: their traditional buffalo wings, cobb salad, blue ridge BBQ, triple chocolate cake, guacamole, and hazelnut iced coffee. All of these except for the guacamole were enjoyable to eat. The guacamole tasted like artificially mashed avocados and it was overly acidic. I expected salad that was wilted and sandwiches that came out like a plastic mold, but it didn't. It tasted like good food. I docked them one star due to inconsistent service. There was one specific waitress there who gave us so much attitude and stood around the register/computer the entire time. There were other times where the service was excellent, although still a bit on the slow side. It took them a while to take our orders, and screwed up our order as well. We had to remind our waiter to wipe off our table because there were scraps of food and water spots sitting there for a while. The restaurant is only so big, and there were only so many people, I find this to be subpar service.

The service was friendly, although fairly slow, and the restaurant offers an extensive wine menu and cocktail list. DINNER: Starter: SEARED SCALLOPS $20 Butternut Sage Puree, Pickled Kohlrabi, Guanciale Lardons *It was a generously sized starter that felt well balanced and delicious. Entree: COQ AU VIN $32 Whipped Potatoes, Nueske's Bacon, Pearl Onions, Red Wine *The flavors were good, but the chicken was quite dry, which took away from what otherwise could have been a very enjoyable dish. Dessert: Chocolate Torte $14 Cocoa Nibs, Chocolate Sauce *It was more like a flourless cake, and I found it dense and difficult to eat, so I only had one bite. Dinner came out to $700 for 6 of us.

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.

A bit on the manly side with a lot of sports memorabilia. Dress was very casual. Service was top notch. Waiters were all male and middle aged or slightly older.

Personally I think the new location is an upgrade. It's modern, clean, upscale with a nice sports bar area. For the price it's a little over the top.
