    I have to say, Ive been to Dunsmoor only a few times, but it feels like it just keeps getting better and better and the restaurant and food were already incredible the first time. The service is always top notch and the atmosphere is a really great vibe. I can't say enough great things about Dunsmoor.

    So FABULOUS!!! They made such a mistake going so close to our theater time because this is a place to savor and enjoy. I could rave on and on about the wine selection and the food – especially the charcuterie platter – but honestly, the service was so far beyond what you would normally get at this price point that I can’t even begin to say enough. Phenomenal experience and can’t wait to go back.
