Suckling pig is incredible. They're also known for their apple pie and tea selection, be sure to get both to finish off the meal.

Great bar with service and original cocktails to match. Will have dinner there the next time I'm in DC. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Great food & service - acoustics in room make it quite loud but overall lived up to it's reputation!
Washingtonian MagazineJanuary 9, 2012
We gravitate to this high-toned farm-to-table destination whenever we’re in the mood for brunch and whenever we’re trying to satisfy a group of disparate personalities. Service is attentive & polished
Whitney FishmanMay 3, 2015
Locally sourced and solid brunch. Get the sticky buns, hash browns and anything egg.

Outside patio with water fall, summer salads and ice tea. Great service.

The duck is amazing, and so are the crab cakes. Among the best ever!
Tim CummingsJanuary 13, 2020
The duck was excellent and served multiple ways. Also need to get the apple pie.

Great food and service. The pastry chef makes chocolate truffles -- I highly recommend them. Your taste buds can thank me later.

Crispy chicken sandwich and BDT FRIES (cross between a hashbrown and mashed potato)

For a hearty breakfast, head to the tavern and feast on short-rib hash and pecan sticky buns.

The apple pie is so good I want to violate it American Pie style

The braided beef is the best. The crab cakes are the best you will ever have!
Plwm BwmMarch 17, 2011
Short Rib Beef with side of Blue Cheese Polenta could be the nicest thing I've ever eaten. Crab Cakes also very good.
Annie JengMarch 29, 2013
Honey vanilla ice cream, apple pie, and pumpkin creme brûlée!!

the burger was one of the best I've ever had.
Leora Goldfarb 💕October 14, 2013
roasted cauliflower, duck fat fries, and the short ribs are all musts.
Bitches Who BrunchDecember 24, 2011
Bitches say B+! While Blue Duck’s design, service and quality of cuisine are impressive The fluffy pancake concoction saved the day, but the rest of the food was blasé.
Nabeel HyattOctober 8, 2012
Skip the French Fries - leaves room for the amazing Apple Pie (get w/homemade ice cream)
Britt AntonyJanuary 27, 2015

Amazing chicken dish and best crab cakes in the city
Samantha GrossMarch 30, 2010
The bone marrow with uni is the saltiest, yummiest thing ever. Definitely the standout. Rabbit rilette too. Check out the tea lounge next door.
Stephanie PhillippyAugust 28, 2012
Must order apple pie and sweet honey vanilla ice cream
Āndrew ÅvizaJuly 6, 2014
For breakfast be sure to order the pecan sticky bun. Perfect!
Bob SomervilleApril 4, 2012
Try the spinach and smoked ricotta tart and the grits with smoked Gouda. Service and food both primo.
鰆大葉May 2, 2015
Try very garlicky bone marrow with a seasonal cocktail.
BravoNovember 29, 2010
Great comfort food, amazing tea list. And one of the most beautiful stoves I've ever seen. -Stephen Hopcraft, Top Chef
R QJuly 23, 2015
Excellent for brunch
OliviaFebruary 18, 2017
A perfect chicken & biscuit for brunch.
Anna SotnikovaNovember 17, 2018
Disappointed. Main courses -nothing interesting. Just a burger, but for 22$, spicy pepper is unnecessary. Duck confit was quite tough. Hot chocolate was a cacao with too sweet cheap taste.
Shayna KulikDecember 31, 2011
Pretty fantastic. Welcome homecoming after returning from Asia. Carrots, cookies & veg dish are exceptional.
Elizabeth BennettJuly 14, 2013
Had an outstanding birthday brunch; honey vanilla ice cream FTW!
EricJune 2, 2015
Amazeballs! Get the potato gratin and bone marrow
Patty KreiserDecember 22, 2013
It was amazing. Try the fries... you won't be disappointed!
