    Amazing service with wonderful tasty dishes. I got the “half chicken” and my partner had the “steak”. All I have to say was the portions were pretty huge and very delicious. Definitely would come back and recommend everyone to give it a try.

    Our second visit to Bleu Duck. As before, very friendly and polished professional service. We had appetizers as small plates this time. The meatballs, potato skins, mussels, and especially the crab cake were delicious. The Rose Frost cocktail was wonderful and the old fashioned was sublime. The Rieseling was a.perfect accompaniment for my seafood. The sherry with dessert was luscious. Pricey, but another wonderful visit. We will return.
