The DuckThis was our first time hereThis was our first time here since it was the Ugly Duckling / Whistling Swan. We wanted to do something different for Mother's Day, everyone that comes to visit us loves the ambiance of the country setting we live in, taking full advantage of Sturbridge and all it brings. The Duck did not disappoint. The open beam dark wood barn setting is exactly what we had hoped for, the kid friendly environment is what we needed, the attention to dietary restrictions was so important, having a Gluten Free menu was a major plus, and then the service and the food for everyone at the table, party of 7, was amazing. From the Salmon to the scallops and a gluten free menu to the chicken pot pie, everyone was raving about the food and setting.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMA very pleasant experience.Met a friend from South Windsor CT for lunch. We always meet about half way which is Sturbridge. I had the Chicken Pot Pie and it came in a bowl big enough to serve an entire family but, I ate almost every last bit of it by myself. It was delicious., stocked full of huge chunks of carrots, potatoes, even waxed beans. My friend had the chicken Caesar salad and enjoyed it as well. We were taken care of promptly and consistently but not overbearingly. It was wonderful. Thanks.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food and service was goodThe food and service was good as usual but it is very, very loud in there. They have entertainment - a man or woman playing the guitar and singing which is nice but then everyone talks even louder making it hard to hear the others you are dining with.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was a great place to haveIt was a great place to have lunch.
