Our Chef’s take inspiration from Billy Madison who drew a blue duck because he had never seen one before, and he wanted to see a blue duck! Well, since our chefs love classic Adam Sandler humor and innovative cooking, we thought that Bleu Duck was the perfect name to showcase our fun environment and staff as well as our unique and creative menu. Just like Billy, we like to try things that you’ve never seen before! 
 
Bleu Duck Kitchen and Oyster Bar is a full service restaurant that provides a fun and welcoming atmosphere where white linens meet a casual feel to create the new concept of “fun-dining”. Co-Owners Erik Kleven and Jennifer Becker regard each customer as a welcomed friend, and aim to provide them with an experience that is both personal and unique every time they visit.

    70% of the menu had shellfish or seafood in it. Weird flavor combinations that didn’t work. Ie. duck with blue cheese and cherries. The duck was dry. I’ve been here 10+ times and this was by far the worst. Disappointing anniversary meal. Don’t waste your money.

    Bleu Duck, was, as always, fantastic. The dishes bring unique ingredients together that combine for a fabulous harmony of flavor on the palate. Service is top notch. Cocktails are balanced perfectly. I can think of few, if any, restaurants I'd recommend more highly than Bleu Duck. Go there now.

    Best risotto I've ever had! Perfect texture; innovative ingredients (mango, sweet peas and lobster). Scallops were sweet and juicy with an amazing been sauce. Our server was so informative, helpful, good-natured. Delightful. Give her a raise! I can't recall her name but she has two children around the age of eight.

    Very disappointing experience. Paneer was bland, broccoli salad was mostly inedible stalks, cucumber/watermelon salad was overly sweet with granola and honey and tasted like a desert, pork belly was severely overcooked and dry with a sauce that tasted like it was out of a can. Service was good but nothing can help the food.

    This was a special dinner experience. The freshness and flavor of eating "clean food" was the best we have had in town. We really enjoyed dinner, and the service was outstanding. It may be difficult to get a reservation, but keep trying. We will definitely go back when we are in town. Thanks!
