Anyone visiting Washington, DC should definitely. Nice small private room as well!

This 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.

Excellent for brunch

If you're having breakfast order the waffle. It is comes with the most delicious cream I've ever had.

The one thing that you cannot miss at Blue Duck Tavern is its signature apple pie. - Lee Anne Wong, Unique Eats

Squid salad is weird. The pheasant was good, but not amazing. Food is a little underwhelming for such high-end prices.

Try the French toast for breakfast! It's amazing!

Eat 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.

By far the best restaurant I have been to in DC

Love the duck, beef ribs, and crab cake here. Bone marrow wasn't that bad, but wouldn't try it again, pretty tasteless oily dish.
