We went on a Sunday night for dinner. When we walked in, I thought this was going to be a snooty place. I was wrong. Our waitress and servers were charming and informative about the food and wine. The service was exemplary. We are NY-ers and have pretty high standards (not to be snooty, myself) and I have to say... more

This is a great restaurant for both service and food. Everything was cooked to perfection and of the hightest quality. It was, however, outlandishly expensive but if you have the money and appreciate the best, it is worth it. There is not much ambiance in the Blue Duck - it's quite sterile but definitely a culinary experience. more

Blue Duck Tavern is in a location convenient to Georgetown. A nice, modern look to it. The food is delicious, especially the seafood choices. The entrees are large enough to share and served to make it easy to pass around the table. The side dishes are all a la carte, and they are served family style (large portions designed for... more

Wife took me there for my b'day & it was an absolutely enjoyable experience. The decor was fantastic, service excellent, food very good, prices quite reasonable.

The duck breast with plums and a delicious sauce was willingly soaked up by the smooth mashed potato. Dessert was my favorite - an eggy custard with fresh poached plum. On my... more

We were very pleased with our recent experience at the Blue Duck Tavern. The atmosphere of the restaurant is pleasant and the view of the kitchen was enjoyable to watch. The food quality was excellent. A few very minor issues, but did not ruin our visit. First, some of the items on the menu cannot be altered as them are... more

From the greeting to the “good night” we were attended to with charm and efficiency. Our server, Mike, was interesting without being intrusive. His recommendations were spot on. As to the food…wonderful! I had the roast chicken and my wife had the Tavern Steak done to perfection. Even before we dug in, the assortment of aromas wafting from the dishes... more

Had dessert in the comfy lounge. Delish warm chocoate cake and ice cream. So so signature apple pie. Very nice staff--unusual for Washington. more

Simple dishes, meticulously prepared with fresh ingredients. Worth every penny - in fact, a bargain. Brunch is to die for. I've been several times- the eggs benedict are perfect in every way. more
