We celebrated our friends' birthday. It was the first time that he and his wife had been to David Duncan House. George, our waiter, provided excellent service and the kitchen provided the impressive fare that our guests thoroughly enjoyed as did we. We've been long term fans of David Duncan and have yet to be disappointed. Great spot for any occasion!

The service is always outstanding and high quality staff make it a wonderful experience, how ever one of the meals was not the best the cut of meat is chewy and a bit tuff and the broccoli was over spiced making unpleasant to eat. I had come to the David Duncan house for my mothers birthday and it was her meal that was unpleasant to eat making her night unfortunately not the best experience we have had there since we have been coming there for many years and know how high the standard of quality goes into your dishes.

Food taste and meat quality were excellent. However, my steak was served lukewarm. With such a famous steak house, I expect to be served with food that is at least hot if not pipping hot. I suggest the supervisors address the time interval between food plated in the kitchen and that being served at patrons' table.

The foosd and cocktails were outstanding and the restaurant is a beautifuk place to dine. We were there for cocktails and a full dinner service and were dressed formally. We were poorly served by two waiters who were unprofessional and downright rude. They ignored us - took about 30 minutes to get water and our drink orders taken. One waiter asked "what do you want?" when taking our entree orders. Their service was sloppy and lacked the friendly professional servuce we observed they provided to people who "looked" like them. There are many fine dining restaurants to choose from, who know how to appreciate valued customers, and treat them respectfully and ensure a lovely dinung exoerience. DDH should take note.

This was our first time at David Duncan ! We will be back . The service was good , the servers super nice ! The food was great ! Only issue I truly had was the onion rings with my steak ??? I don’t mind spending the money for a good meal , I was a Little bit disappointed when my dinner showed up and there was onion rings !! Would have rather had a nice baked potato. Way better than the onion rings ! But this won’t discourage us from coming back !!! Thanks for the great experience!!! Highly recommended!!!!

I recently dined at this wonderful steakhouse, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality that set the tone for the evening. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the table-side Caesar salad. The presentation was not only impressive but also delicious. The server skillfully prepared the salad right before our eyes, tossing crisp romaine lettuce with the perfect blend of creamy dressing, tangy Parmesan cheese, and crunchy croutons. Each bite was a delightful burst of flavor, and the freshness of the ingredients was evident. Of course, the steak was equally remarkable. Cooked to perfection, it melted in my mouth, showcasing the chef's expertise in grilling. The side dishes were equally delightful, complementing the steak beautifully. The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant yet inviting, making it an ideal place for a special occasion or a romantic dinner. The attentive staff made sure our every need was met, enhancing the overall dining experience. In summary, this steakhouse not only excels in serving top-notch steaks but also offers a memorable culinary journey with its table-side Caesar salad. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a superb dining experience filled with exquisite flavors and exceptional service.

Food was just ok. Service was dreadful - took 30 mins to get a glass of wine and was on hour mark by the time we had our salads. Main did quickly follow but by that time they seems to be scrambling to repair damage from poor start. They did not do much to redeem themselves and will not return.
