Good and not so good
Our party of four ordered the bone marrow, tenderloin, duck, red drum, crab cakes, grits, fries and apple pie. The fries were rather mushy instead of being crispy but everything else was delicious. Unfortunately the service was sub par. We had to flag down our server to order (gentleman with blond hair and ponytail), he disappeared and let our empty dinner dishes sit for 20 minutes and he forgot the caramel sauce for our pies. This was not our first visit. At this price point the service should be impeccable. Maybe this is one of the reasons BDT recently lost its Michelin Star status?
Be the first to ReplyHard to Maintain Quality
We have come here for many years (more than ten) whenever we come to town for some reason. It is our special place. This visit, the bartenders were less friendly than usual. The crab cake and BDT fries remained delicious; the desserts were honestly terrible. In particular, the pear Mille-feuille I can make better than they did. Overall, the quality and “specialness” seems to be going down hill. Didn’t really seem worth the price this go around.

Beautiful setting in the main dining area with a view of the kitchen and food preparation. The duck breast and duck confit were both cooked to perfection. Likewise the Kobe beef. The smoked beets were a great accompaniment, as was the olive bread with butter. The apple pie is a must for dessert, as recommended by our server, Tibor. Service was professional and informative.
Be the first to ReplyCreative, delicious food served family style
This is a highly rated restaurant that did not disappoint. We had a fine meal in the private dining room adjacent to the kitchen and next to the wine cellar. The meal consisted of several courses, which were collections of about 4 dishes followed by a final dessert course. The food was rich and tasty although a bit heavy. The service was excellent. We tried several different great wines from the list which mainly features American wines including some from Viriginia although there are also some gems from Burgundy, the Rhone Valley, and Bordeaux.
Be the first to ReplyDisappointed
We had a reservation. We asked for a quiet position and the host put us in the glassed room by the bar. It was a Fri evening. The downside to this was the noise from the bar- dumping ice, making drinks, and bar noise echoed and reverberated into the room of 4 glass walls. All of the bar activity sounded like things were being slammed around just because of the acoustics of the space. We would have been better off on the patio with the crowd and street. We were a party of 2. Had we been 4, perhaps we wouldn't have noticed the bar noise as much. Entrees were good yet not memorable. Cheese plate was paltry and given the portion/price--was outrageously overpriced. Disappointing.
Be the first to ReplyA Casual Chic Tavern.
The Blue Tavern is located in the Park Hyatt, Washington DC where one can experience Michelin distinguished dining. I was impressed with the shenanigans of the open kitchen crew cooking up a seasonal, market fresh, ingredient-driven menu of Americana cuisine using the inventive technology of the famous Molteni range & wood burning oven. A creative interior design was embellished by a sprawling space with soaring windows, bulked up with handsome sleek furniture that promoted the aura of a nobleman's farm house and customer sought-after glass-enclosed booths. As I flew over the food catalog I opted for a food fix of Roasted Fish......superb and my Bone Marrow was a real flavor powerhouse. This casual-chic tavern checks all the boxes of an exemplary eatery namely: good food, contemporary environment and good service.

I’ve eaten at Blue Duck easily 15 times over the past decade. It used to be phenomenal, delicious flavors and combinations with outstanding service. Now it’s a corporate setting with excessively high prices and the food at multiple meals here (came for breakfast and lunch) was disappointingly bad. I got a $19 arugula salad for lunch that was literally a bowl of arugula with three slivers of plum, a small amount of shaved Parmesan, and dressing. A small chicken breast for the salad was $16. We live in NYC and I can’t remember the last time I paid $35 for a salad at lunch that had next to nothing in it. Had to ask for water refills multiple times. Truly awful. The porridge at breakfast used to be hearty, rich, and textured. We’ve had it this way for years and loved it. This time it was watery with overcooked grains and no consistency. We mentioned this to the server and he said nothing in return. You’ll see so many staff running around. Not sure what anyone is actually doing. The servers don’t check on the tables or do a two bite check. Expected to ask for everything. Not surprised this place hasn’t won an award in years. Sad to say we won’t return.
Be the first to ReplyNice Experience
This is a nice place and a kind staff. Our food was tasteful with a good presentation. Actually, we wanted a simple sunny side up eggs with toast, but it was not available. The overall was god experience, but it is an overpriced restaurant.
Be the first to ReplyWorth the Price
We came here for dinner on a hot July night and then spent almost two hours dining. The ambiance was exceptional. The wait staff was attentive but not intrusive. Our entrees were beyond compare. My son had the duck and I had the roasted half chicken. Obviously, this isn’t a place we would go to on a weekly basis, but for a special occasion it’s a great choice.

We absolutely loved the Blue Duck Tavern. The food and service were excellent. We had the tuna crudo, and bone marrow for appetizers and the halibut and duck confit for entrees. Wow, everything was delicious. I highly recommend. We also had breakfast the next morning. The avocado toast and omelet were excellent.
Be the first to ReplyWay over price for what it is
This place is near the office so it's convenient. However, the food choices are average at best and expensive even on an expense account. Nor worth it.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent food, but tired decor and atmosphere
In a city full of upscale expensive restaurants, Blue Duck Tavern just didn't deliver. Yes, the food is Michelin-rated. Yes, the wine list is extensive. Probably one of the better wine lists in Washington. However, as a guest at 5-star luxury hotel I couldn't get a table for dinner. I had to eat at a communal table hidden behind the bar. That's unacceptable. For breakfast, getting a table was no big deal. Staff were okay. But I was never asked how my meal was until AFTER I finished eating it, no bread was served, and I wasn't asked if I wanted a refill on my glass of wine. Another customer at the communal table had cold food served to her. No manager ever came over. Does the food and wine deserve all the critical acclaim? Sure. Absolutely. But the reality is, this is a very small restaurant and bar. There isn't anywhere near enough capacity, let alone for guests at the hotel. The bar alone is tiny. The way the decor is configured, it's horrible. Who was the idiot that designed the bar area? Considering the multitude of good to very good restaurants within walking distance of the attached hotel, I wouldn't return for dinner or drinks.
Be the first to ReplyIt's ok, but not for everyone
The trendy open concept atmosphere will not suit everyone. We were with a large group, so a romantic setting was not part of the equation. It did get pretty loud towards 9pm. The upside is you're not cramped and there's a lot of windows. The service was good. Parking was a nightmare. The food was average both in price, quality, and ingenuity for DC. There are certainly more interesting places to go for the money. But if you're staying in the hotel it's pleasant enough to keep you hanging around at a table or the well stocked bar for a little while.
Be the first to ReplyDont rush to go here
Unfortunately my estimations were higher than the reality. Ugly souless bland corporate office decor in a non descript office type setting. We ordered brunch and whilst most and i say most was competently executed if underwhelming a few things really let the side down. This place is not cheap so i expected perfect execution and the following items were not. GF coffee cakes.. not sure if they were supposed to taste of coffee or cinnamon or...anything but the reality was they were bland, dull and quitw frankly boring as f**k.. Next the pork belly bahn mi.. tough pre cooked belly dry and suffering from an over saturation of gloppy thick mayonnaise monstrosity that made it quite unedible. I did mention these things to our server who nodded at the correct places like the well behaved minion however have very little faith she passed the feedback on. The final nail in the coffin was the again boring, dully baked goods product that was a blueberry muffin. We counted 4 Blueberrys in the whole thing. As a party we are glad we tried it but we all agreed nothing would push us to return. In a city of infinite brunch destinations quite frankly save your money and go somewhere else!
Be the first to ReplyOnion Crab Cakes
I was so excited to get crab cakes. It’s my go to in DC. Service was excellent and the place has a nice positive vibe. BUT the crab cake was full of chives and scallions. Yuck. I would prefer none but I’ve managed to deal with others with less chives or scallions. It tasted more like an onion cake than a crab cake. It did have beautiful lump crab but it was overwhelmed with the green onions.
Be the first to ReplyKind staff and great food
Friends and I needed a place to catch up and have dinner. Blue Duck has a lovely outdoor seating area that was perfect. They were very gracious in that we met at about 3 pm and wanted to hang and catch up through dinner. Blue Duck let us stay there when they weren’t serving and then provided us a wonderful dinner. We basically made our own tasting menu. It was fabulous and the service was quite good.
Be the first to ReplyService was really bad and overshadowed food.
3.0 star rating 9/5/2022 we had breakfast here a few times while staying at the hotel. The service was ridiculously slow and honestly bad... we didn't even know who our waiter/waitress was as barely anyone would come by. When we would inquire about our food, they would say they would check and then they would never return. Service like this is not acceptable for such an expensive restaurant...if this was a one off ok, but we thought service and food was lacking throughout our stay.
