Classic, elegant, delicious. Trendy enough to not be boring. The food is outstanding and the waitstaff are fantastic. Reservations are hard to come by for a reason! My boyfriend said it was probably the best steak he has ever had (we have had a lot of steaks!) and I kept stealing the red wine reduction to put on EVERYTHING. My only qualm was that some of the food was a bit cool, but the flavor and quality of the ingredients made up for that. 11/10 - will come again!

Pros: Blue Duck Tavern has outstanding duck, hence the name. They cook the duck so it's soft and flavorful on the inside, and thin and crispy on the outside. Hopefully when you go, you get the bonito cornbread. Despite its questionable contents, it tasted spectacular. It was savory, yet sweet... A rather pleasant clash between Asian and Southern food. Our waiter was informative and very friendly. Definitely one of the better one-star Michelin restaurants I've tried! Cons: Due to its class, this is not for someone who wants is restricted on time. The waiter did ask us if we were on a timeline; we were not, so our dinner was spaced across almost 3 hours. If we were, I don't know how fast their food would have come out, but I'm sure they would accommodate if need be!

What a wonderful restaurant! I've had dinner and breakfast as well as brunch at Blue Duck Tavern and have never been disappointed. They have local purveyors who provide high quality ingredients and the preparation is out off this world. The service is also top notch. I'm guessing they have international interns come to learn about what high end hotel management and hospitality is all about. I've only seen this at the Statler Hotel at Cornell where they have a marvelous school of hotel management. You can't go wrong with any of the menu choices so order with confidence. My eggs Benedict for brunch were amazing and were my husband's shrimp and grits. You must have a reservation as this restaurant is always very busy.

The food is really good here. Go for the bone marrow to start. And try the duck, you won't be disappointed. I do not like the seating though. We were in a glass booth next to the bar, directly behind the host desk. Felt like we were eating in a fishbowl with people all around, looking at our food.

Absolutely the worst service my mother, husband and I have experienced in a long time. We had to ask for our entrees twice after waiting twenty-five minutes from the first course. After completing our main course, we had to wait fifteen minutes for our waiter to bring the dessert menu. After declining desert, because we didn’t want to see how log it would take for it to come out, we waited another fifteen minutes before I asked a waiter passing by to track down our check. Even then we had to wait another ten minutes. The food was excellent, but it was an awful lot of money to pay for terrible service from a Michelin rated restaurant. May 25, 2018 Blue Duck Tavern manager reached out to offer dinner at his cost. We returned and were pleased with service and the food. I have updated my rating from 1 star to 4 stars for customer service.
