Once again the service and food were amazing. Consistently great for the past several decades. If you have never treated yourself to the roasted whole duck, reconsider your life choices. Just beware it needs to be ordered about a week in advance!

We celebrated a birthday with lunch on the patio. We started with the Brussels sprouts which were astoundingly delicious. Then we had the crabcakes which are the best in town even in the off season. The weather was spectacular. The service was attentive but not rushed. We agreed it was one of the best meals we have had in a long time. Can't wait to go back.

Delicious foods, great service and very nice ambience. We very much enjoyed our dinner at BDT.

We had the duck and the chicken dinners. Both were awesome! Would recommend sharing the wilted salad.. there was plenty for two.. instead of ordering sides. Also, don't skip dessert... the apple pie for two was amazing!! The wait staff at Blue Duck Tavern are beautifully courteous.

Hostess was unfriendly. Very much so. System was down so no automation, handwritten bill, slow service. Halibut had little flavor. Crab cake was $28 for maybe three oz of crab flakes. Our third time here. And last. Place is way overpriced and overrated.

Food was amazing. Came here for dinner and had the charred gem salad and bone marrow as starters. Salad was fresh and bone marrow was delicious! For entrees we shared the duck breast, chicken and halibut. Duck was delicious although slightly under for my personal preference. Chicken and halibut were just okay - tasted good but nothing spectacular. We were seated in a glass box with one open side which was an interesting set up but it was a quiet space and we were to enjoy each other's company and didn't have to fight to hear each other. Overall great experience.

Duck is absolutely amazing. Everything else is not bad, feel free to try it.

Blue Duck Tavern was our favorite restaurant in our September visit to DC! Well prepared food, professional service and cozy atmosphere. We especially loved our breakfast: Duck Confit Hash was warming and super flavorful. Ube Cheesecake French Toast was well balanced between the sourness of cheesecake and unique sweetness of ube. Highly recommended!

We stayed at the hotel while visiting DC and fell in love with this restaurant.
I have to admit we had breakfast here twice and even ordered room service a couple more times as well, it was just pretty convenient and food was delicious.
The restaurant is pretty and service was good but food was the star of the show.
I would definitely recommend the place, it might fall under the radar being a hotel restaurant but I strongly recommend it.
Wow. Just wow. This is one of the best meals I’ve had in DC. I have been in MD my whole life and this crab cake was the best I’ve ever had. For the mains, I got scallops which were good and my husbands steak had excellent flavor. And then for dessert the chocolate pb cake did not disappoint! It’s a very good dining experience. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and there wasn’t any acknowledgment but it’s okay, the service was very good! Would recommend!

Great experience. The atmosphere is just right. Scallop is cooked to the perfect tenderness and it paired perfectly with the apple slices and the sauce. The gold rice porridge is tasty with the mushroom. The duck is good but part of it not cooked to the right degree.
