In Short – Eager servers hustle around the comfortable room, where textured orange walls, wrought-iron chandeliers and sueded leather booths grant an invitingly rustic, yet contemporary, feel. Up front, tall shelves stacked with wine, scented candles and the restaurant's famed breads and cakes separate an espresso bar from the dining room. Energetic Latin music plays; the restaurant fills quickly with couples, neighborhood families and ladies who lunch. The menu is upscale, but unpretentious, with a variety of casual, traditional sandwiches and fresh salads offered alongside contemporary…

Do NOT Valet!
by eva0128 at Citysearch
This was our first experience at this La Duni location. We typically frequent the Oak Lawn location, but decided to try the McKinney Avenue location. The first thing we noticed was how small the parking lot was, so we ended up having to valet the car.
The food and service were excellent. Nothing to complain about there.
Once we got our car back from the valet service, we noticed that it had been wrecked. When we confronted La Duni management, they informed us that the valet service was not their responsibility, and that they were not liable for this. We contacted the owner of the valet service, U.S.A. Park and he too informed us that there was nothing he could do about it, because we could not prove "with a video" that it was wrecked in their hands.
We expected that La Duni management would take ownership of this, since they hired this valet service, however they did not. Think twice abefore you valet your car here.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Valet, Service, Management

Cuatros Leches Cake should be Cuatros Dias Cake
by kmscow11 at Citysearch
My friends and I have wanted to try this place for sometime now because of the great reviews that we?ve read, and we finally got around to it. All I can say is that I was unconvinced. First, we paid $9.75 for an alcoholic beverage that was mostly ice. I can say that our service, once we sat down, was good. The meal was mediocre, but the dessert was awful! I am an avid baker, and I have heard so many great comments about the bakery items at La Duni, especially the Cuatros Leches Cake, which we tried. I was sadly disappointed. They should call it the Cuatros Dias Cake because I think the cake sat out for 4 days and then they decided to pour a bunch of sweet milk on it to make up for the dryness and lack of taste. All in all, drink wine or beer because they rip you off with the drinks, and go somewhere else for dessert.
- Pros: Service and Ambience
- Cons: Drinks and Dessert

Who writes these reviews?

The main review states that it "ceases to impress". I hope whoever wrote that understands that that is a negative thing to say. Uhh, who writes these reviews anyways?
