Anastasia EnotMay 18, 2022This place is very expensive and overrated. Crab cakes were quite good, but all the vegeterian sides were meh, and the soup was too salty. Service is very long too. Definitely not worth it.
Cooking ChannelFebruary 21, 2011The one thing that you cannot miss at Blue Duck Tavern is its signature apple pie. - Lee Anne Wong, Unique Eats
Date Night Dessert: honey vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Share it with the one you love (or one you're with).
Tisha Bastedo-DownesJanuary 31, 2013Short Rib and grits... Fab!!! Add my staple of Brussels sprouts for balance...
David KeuhnerNovember 16, 2011Anyone visiting Washington, DC should definitely. Nice small private room as well!
Gavin McGarryJanuary 31, 2011Have the apple pie. Have the apple pie. Have the apple pie. Nuff said. Scallops rock toi.
Sarah ONovember 5, 2010If you're having breakfast order the waffle. It is comes with the most delicious cream I've ever had.
Ryan KoAugust 19, 2012It's worth calling to try and make reservations even if there are none on OpenTable.
Justin KalifowitzDecember 31, 2011Beet salad, scallops and carrots. Do not leave empty-handed. The sugar cookies tin is remarkable.
David MastronardiJanuary 26, 2011the cognac selection is top notch. and try the winter soup if it's cold out.
Richard LDecember 16, 2010Eat at the bar for a fine meal. Restaurant menu if you ask but the bar steak is a fine meal itself. Crowded so arrive early.
Freyja BalmerJune 10, 2016Squid salad is weird. The pheasant was good, but not amazing. Food is a little underwhelming for such high-end prices.
Laura JohnsonJune 20, 2010Get the old-fashioned cookies and one of the ice creams- they present them both in great ways!
- brian murfinMarch 9, 2010Bone marrow, brussels sprouts, braised beef, polenta and cheese and the huckleberry buckle were delicious
Adam BoaltFebruary 20, 2011You can always find a seat at the bar. Limited menu, but food is still great!
Harris LokmanhakimOctober 18, 2010BDT fries is a must... and its true, the Apple Pie is the best in town....
