    I have reviewed the Duck Inn numerous times over the years. Once again I believe it's the best restaurant in the city. The service is perfection and the food is outstanding but sometimes it's the little gestures that push it over. For example, they were out of my usual scotch and the beverage manager personally selected from his vast knowledge and picked something he thought I would enjoy. He was right, it was delicious. On top of that he personally brought my drink to the table, along with the bottle to show me. A touch of service above and beyond the norm..... I could go on and on but suffice to say, I love the joint!

    We had a great meal, great cocktails, and great service. Would recommend for a date night or night with a few friends! The ambience was fairly casual but the cocktails and food were really thought through, unique and delicious. The duck wings and cauliflower were especially good. Will be back!

    I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday and the whole meal was outstanding! Our waitress was really kind and the dishes were perfectly spaced apart. The duck wings were definitely a highlight. This restaurant was the perfect place to celebrate a birthday as they brought out champagne when we sat down and provided ice cream on the house at the end of our meal. Thank you for a wonderful night!
