There was temporary staffing at the hostess table that caused inconsistent service. The floor manager recovered the situation for us fairly well but I would not dine again if I saw that hostess at the front desk.
The service was excellent. The food was Michelin quality. The restaurant was a little empty, but it was after eight when we sat down to eat . It was my daughter's birthday and the menu had her name printed on it .When we left they had signed the copy with all the employees. It was a fabulous evening.
My partner and I came to celebrate our 25th anniversary. It was the best experience ever! We started with drinks in the lounge/bar. The bartenders were well versed in this area. They even offered dinner and dessert recommendations. After drinks we went to dinner. The waiter was also well versed in his role and recommended dinner selections. The food was outstanding! We were also given dessert to celebrate our special evening.
So the duck confit and our other meal was great. I was disappointed in the bone marrow because there was so little of it for such a big price. You can definitely get a good amount of the same tasting food at another expensive restaurant for a little bit cheaper with bigger servings
During our anniversary stay at the Park Hyatt, we had the pleasure of dining at Blue Duck Tavern for both dinner and breakfast. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional.
The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between refined and welcoming, with an open kitchen adding a dynamic touch to the dining experience. Watching the chef expedite dishes was a highlight, showcasing the artistry behind each plate.
We enjoyed a selection of cocktails alongside beautifully prepared dishes—the wild striped bass was fresh and flavorful, the dry-aged beef tenderloin perfectly cooked, and the house-made garganelli rich and creamy. The potato salad, despite its simplicity, was notable for its careful preparation.
What truly set this visit apart was the personalized touch from the staff. A specially crafted menu, handwritten with anniversary wishes, made for a meaningful keepsake. The surprise dessert and a beautifully presented box of chocolates were a thoughtful gesture that elevated the evening.
The next morning, we returned for breakfast, which was just as enjoyable. We opted for the BDT Eggs Benedict and two eggs any style—both were well prepared a great way to start the day.
Ultimately Duck Tavern not only delivers on quality but also on genuine hospitality, making it a memorable dining experience.

This was amazing. The food spectacular.
Never again. We always go here and had a reservation for 1.30. I called as it we were running late because of the rain and my partner cutting his finger we were told last seating at 1.45 and we arrived at 1.48 and they did not seat us.
Wonderful dining experience. Every dish we ordered is special and delicious!
Incredible dining experience. One of the best duck dishes I have ever eaten. The filet is incredible. Their take on potato fries are not to be missed. Their rhubarb Negroni was incredibly refreshing. Their wine list is fantastic. Phenomenal service!

The best restaurant around Georgetown. The staff are true masters in their craft. They are so friendly, took amazing care for us, and served us with some of the best food and drinks we ever had. 10 out of 10 recommend to anyone.
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.
