The Blue Duck Tavern, a contemporary neighborhood restaurant, invites its guests to gather and celebrate in good taste with a menu focusing on the freshest ingredients available from local purveyors and artisans. The menu notes every farm where the main ingredient for the dish was raised before its journey to the table. Dishes are genuine, time-honored and traditional -- slow roasting in wood embers, braising, preserving and smoking techniques bring the true flavors of America's great, simple and wholesome foods to the Blue Duck Tavern. The modern, masculine details of the restaurant's design by Tony Chi include polished glass, stainless steel, oak and maple for the interior, and for the exterior, the 16-foot-tall colonial doors. Tony Chi has created an elegant residential feel in the Blue Duck Tavern through the open staff pantry and kitchen, wood-burning oven and the showpiece Molteni range. Handcrafted furnishings and uncovered wood tables keep the restaurant warm and inviting.
