24. Duling – Kurtz House

They ruined our Valentines Day! We waited an hour to be seated, despite having reservations. For at least 30 minutes after we arrived nobody was even being seated, but people continued to arrive in droves. The wating area was filled to overflowing with angry Valentines Day diners - way to set a romantic atmosphere! The valet and maitre d were both rude and totally unapologetic. We waited another 20 minutes to even see our waitress after finally being seated. I ordered my steak medium-well but it was so bloody in the middle I couldn't finish it; after the ridiculous wait I did not even bother to send it back. At least the waitress (when we saw her) was nice enough, and even gave us dessert for free. But she recommended we not go there on holidays due to poor service! We will go her one better and never return, period!

Duling-Kurtz hosted our son's rehearsal dinner. The staff were attentive to every detail during the planning and during the service. The ambience was warm and welcoming, the service efficient, friendly and gracious. The food was beautifully presented and was very delicious. Our guests were impressed by each and every aspect of this fine restaurant. Bravo!!!!!!
