My husband and I went to the Black Duck on a Friday night. We were quite late for our reservation due to travel issues, but they were very accomodating. The dishes were creative, Asian-inspired fare. Our appetizers were wonderful-- lobster dumplings and a gorgeous salad-- and our main meals were very good too, although a bit spicy for my personal... more

A little cramped. The couple at the table next to ours seemed to be going through a rough patch, and we were so close that it was uncomfortable. Fortunately, most of our dinner was quite good, so that distracted us. We were looking for local seafood, and didn't find any here, but there were some really tasty Pacific Rim selections.... more

I'm surprised this restaurant hasn't been reviewed although it is pretty new. The owner of the house we rented from, after we told her we had eaten there, admitted that the Black Duck was her favorite too. Food is excellent. Presentation also. I would especially recommend the "early bird" menu - served before a 5:30 sit down. For less than... more

I had the pleasure of dinning at Black Duck on September 13th after reading several positive on-line reviews. The restaurant is located on Sunset Boulevard in a Victorian style home. The decor is clean and bright. The Lobster Bisque, $12, was light and flavorful. The Seafood Melody, a $34 nightly special, was fresh, adequately seasoned, and well presented. The Creme... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. The server was top notch, both in service & knowledge of the menu. We appreciated the use of seasonal local ingredients in creative combinations. The watermelon & heirloom tomato salad was a flavor explosion. The dining room was spotless & serene - something about how the early evening sun came in the windows was... more

Nice, minimalist, sophisticated dining atmosphere. Our waiter was among the most attentive and professional I've experienced anywhere. Food presentation was artistic. Food preparation was on the mark. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. more

We recently had a great dinner at BDS, so we would highly recommend! The decor is serene, classy and clean. We had no problems with our reservation and were seated immediately. The staff is attentive, not overbearing and we didn't feel rushed at all. Our appetizers and entrees were fantastic - we only wish we had room for dessert! Give... more

Went to The Black Duck with my husband while vacationing in Cape May. Very much enjoyed the lobster bisque and our entrees. I had duck, he had salmon. The service was excellent. I did feel it was a bit pricey ($12 for a bowl of soup??) and our table was extremely tiny, it is a good thing we aren't large... more

Was recommended to the restaurant by friends. We were in Cape May to celebrate my birthday. We are from NYC so we are no strangers to fantastic food but the Black Duck was up there with the very best of them. I am in the food service industry as well but we were so blown away by the flavors, presentation,... more
