    A contender for best Brunch in DC. Sit outside and order the short rib hash, side of their seasonal veg. Next level status.

    Hazelnut mousse was good as well as Brussels sprouts. Liked these two dished. Crab cake was good too.

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

    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.

    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.

    The bone marrow with uni is the saltiest, yummiest thing ever. Definitely the standout. Rabbit rilette too. Check out the tea lounge next door.
