Food was really good we had the Turkey Melt and chips with guac. 🥑 Excellent taste with the food. Chef does fantastic food.
Place was not busy and was very relaxed. The server was okay, not very attentive as far as checking on drinks! That was the only disappointment. But I still tipped over 25%. I’m guessing it’s a tip share and cook defo deserved the majority of the tip.

What an absolute gem the Duck Dive is! The decor was amazing, down to every last touch. The food was perfect, the halloumi burger was out of this world, every last thing on the plate was tasty and the portions were generous! The service was professional. Every aspect of my visit was superb. I cant wait to go again!

We had the best server and it was a busy Saturday night. Parking was rough but we had a good time meeting with my out of state cousin. Mahi tacos and beer, great experience ✨

Didn’t honor the discount they advertised, over charged for drinks and poured juice as “shots”. Also the place was 3/4 empty on new years while being part of a bar crawl definitely do not recommend as a night life spot

What a gem of a happy hour find. First, our server Madison, was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I was surprised that she hadn’t been working there that long.

The 1/2 price HH shareables were very well done - large portions, as well. The tenders and calamari were perfectly lightly breaded and piping hot. The dive wings were huge and flavourful.

The one disappointing thing was that the drink prices on the online menu (part of the reason for going) showed lower than the actual menu ($6 vs $8 actually for the HH cocktails). Given the food prices being so reasonable, it wasn’t that big of a deal.

Get a new door guy. He accused me of being drunk at 2:00 in the afternoon after. I just walked on the beach with my contacts because my eyes were red. Find someone that actually knows what they're doing.

Great food but the employees that work here make me never want to go back again. The guy at the front let in a young couple without checking their ID then I try to go in just to get a burger and he asks for my ID, despite me being 40+ years old. No thanks and sorry to the servers that lost a good tipping customer because of the bad attitude guy at the front door.

Dinner: Wonderful server, fun atmosphere, comfy booths, delicious “take me to Mexico” cocktail, and scrumptious ‘from the very first bite’ beer battered shrimp and blackened mahi mahi street tacos.
Brunch: yum! Lived the fresh fruit, eggs Benny, and fish and chips! Again- great service! Fun decorations!!

Came to try their fries without seed oils! The duck fat is a great alternative and it tasted amazing, fresh, and crispy.

The hostess was nice but the rest of the staff was something else. I got up and walked outside, the bartender changed the football game over my table. They enjoy creating a problem and having someone complain about it. These are the type of people that fold under the slightest bit of pressure. The servers would walk by and bump me. I would recommend finding a different place to eat at.
