We visit Duling Kurtz for extra special family occasions. The lobster crepes and filet mignon are always perfect. Last night my connoisseur daughter and I tried the beet salad, which we will order again the next time we visit. Thank you, Duling Kurtz, for the warm cozy atmosphere, professional attentive staff, and a meal to remember. K. Sass
