A quiet Monday night, our first night in Front Royal. Only 4 diners, the waiter had gone home to take care of his sick wife, so the chef was doing everything that night. He kept apologising for keeping us waiting but he needn't have worried. The restaurant is small and cosy, with good decor & soft lighting . The menu,... more

Overall, this was a great restaurant. However I would recommend going on a night other than Sunday. We had a 5:00 reservation on a Sunday and the chef didn't even arrive at the restaurant until almost 5:30, so we had to sit out in the car for 30 minutes. Also they were out of several things, including one of the... more

I have been going to the Wine and Duck since they opened. I've gotten to know the cooks, Rita and Paul very well and from personal experience they are WONDERFUL cooks. They are cuisine artists. If you have a request they're happy to accommodate, but in all seriousness they're food is wonderful the way it comes out to you. I... more

Thanks to Trip Advisor we found this delightful small reataurant in Front Royal. We visited on a late on a weekday night and were the only customers. We enjoyed a well prepared dinner with a nice reasonably priced wine. Our server was helping the owner that night and filled us with intersting stories about the area. more

I ordered the duck, of course -- it's in the name. A very good preparation with mushrooms, cooked just how I ordered it. My partner ordered the chicken, which was great, but was most captivated by the house-made pasta alfredo -- delicious!! The server was very sweet, but had trouble keeping things going as the house filled up. No bread... more

What a surprise - to find such an elegant and romantic resturant in Front Royal, VA - with great food and an impressive ambience with little candles lighting the romance along the way! It reminded us of the little French restaurants we often found and enjoyed in Paris. The food was excellent and presentation impressive. My wife had the tamarind... more

I visited the Wine and Duck in Front Royal and was to say the least extremely dissapointed. The first two items I ordered were out of stock, the server acted as though they did not care, and the food I finally received was over priced. It did however have a nice cosy setting. more

My husband and I tried the Wine and Duck shortly after it opened and the food is absolutely top shelf. My only complaint was that both times we dined there, the service was just incredibly slow. I could understand it for our dinner, but we ate lunch there again and only had a burger and desert and it took nearly... more

Awesome restaurant! Outstanding food, Friendly service! When you walk in to the Wine and Duck you are invited into a intament setting where you can feel comfortable. The staff is friendly and knows how to please. But THE FOOD! THE FOOD! Is AMAZING! Every thing is cooked fresh so your food will take a bit longer than you may be... more
