very nice staff, delicious food but quite small. There was no place for us when we arrived. Sat at the bar and stayed there although a table opened up in 15 minutes. We enjoyed it and will return.
Wonderful food served by a great staff. the atmosphere was warming
The music is now much louder and younger genre - moving towards upscale hip rather than classic fine dining but food is still amazing
Perfect birthday dinner.
Overpriced Bibb salad at $12 was disappointing
Blue duck date night has always been a favorite of ours. The entrees are fantastic along with the service. We appreciate having a once of a kind restaurant in Rochester.
We had a wonderful Sunday brunch. The food was very good. We had a reservation, and we allowed to come early as our plans changed. We were seated right away and given options. Restaurant has a good ambiance. it isn’t overly loud, so able to have a conversation. Service was good and fit what we needed. Didn’t pressure, but also didn’t disappear.
The cocktails were great but food was disappointing. My breakfast stirfry was much too salty. All breakfast potatoes served were pretty dry and probably prepared early morning and served throughout Easter Sunday brunch service. With that said we did have a late reservation.
Wait staff appeared unhappy and overworked. Our waiter was perspiring a bit, hopefully not on our food!
We same three dined with you once before in 2019 and it was wonderful. We will be back for another try. Thank you.
The atmosphere and food at Blue Duck were phenomenal! I would highly recommend to anyone
Great food! Fresh, gourmet, flavorful and unique. Nice selection of morning cocktails as well. Not your average brunch spot definitely above average food and atmosphere!
Amazing food and great prices. Best brunch we've had in Rochester. Alcohol prices very reasonable too.
The best brunch!! Everyone at Bleu Duck is super friendly and the food was on point! Everything! I ordered a second entree, that good!
The amount of food was so little compared to the price we pay.
We would not go to the Bleu Duck Kitchen anymore and do not recommend to friends.
The breakfast potatoes were soooo good. My friend loved the biscuits and lobster gravy, and I heard the bread pudding is to die for!
Food was very good as was the whole vibe. Menu was relatively small but choices were varied.
The food sounded interesting but was disappointing. I ordered a beef tartar that was 1/4 beef pieces , 1/2 capers and 1/4 celery in mayonnaise. No beef flavor detected. Ordered a bone marrow that was lovely but a second at the table was all bone. There was also essentially no meat in the poutine and no gravy. The hash also was underseasoned and not enough protein to detect in the flavor. Expensive . One plate was nicely done piece of fish. Disappointed overall but the waitress was very nice and effecient.
Excellent food and service! Never disappoints!
We love Bleu Duck! Fantastic experience every time we dine here!!!
The atmosphere at the Bleu Duck is so relaxing! The service was wonderful, the food tasted amazing, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time! Please continue to book Clay Fulton for music. His voice and guitar skills are amazing and he played an awesome variety of originals and covers.
Thank you!
Bleu Duck never disappoints. Attentive service, delicious food and a beautiful setting. Thank you for all your hard work!
Food was excellent. Chefs made special sauce to accommodate food challenges for one diner. Seafood ramen amazing. Oysters fresh and tasty Nikki our server was pleasant and attentive to our dining experience.
The food was wonderful and the server very knowledgeable on the wine list.
It’s just the best brunch in Rochester full stop. It’s a classy joint that feels approachable. The staff appear to love being there which makes them feel like friends. And the food is next level, like you are going to make noises from a foodgasm so make sure your table mates are aware and cool with it. If I could make a reoccurring reservation for brunch I would, I just hate taking a seat away from a newbie. Anyways if you are still reading this just make a reservation already!
Bleu Duck never disappoints. We have tried most every entree on the menu, and every one is uniquely delicious! The Tuesday date night deal is a hard value to beat!
The food is so unique and always delicious! The drink menu is always compiled of hand shaken drinks, great beer selections, & a variety of wines for every palette! It’s the best Rochester has to offer in dining and ambiance!!
Bleu Duck never disappoints! Amazing food. Love having dinner there.
Amazing brunch entrees, fun brunch cocktails and live music makes the ambience uniquely special
From start to end, our experience was top notch! The food was beautiful, creative, and SO DELICIOUS! Service was outstanding!! Jeremy Jewell was playing, so the ambiance was of course stellar.
Brunch at the Bleu Duck was amazing! We all ordered the eggs Benedict with braised ribs, and shared an order of fresh donuts. The food was delicious, tasty drinks, good portions, and perfect for a weekend brunch. Look forward to coming back to try out the other menus!
Food was excellent! Service was excellent! Entertainment was excellent.
The Bleu Duck Kitchen is a place I choose when I want a very special evening with my wife. We both appreciate the food, atmosphere and experience. Thank you!
Always a great experience at this place. Love date night option and going to have to try oyster night also. Great oyster spot btw!! Love their menu!!
Outstanding food and service!
The food and service were great. We both ordered the Pork Belly and loved it, one of the dishes l’ve had in Rochester. The reason for the 1 stars was the absolute disregard for limiting seating capacity as the state has mandated due to Covid. The table behind us was so close that the chair hit mine when the patron was seated! We would have walked out early on if we knew they were planning on seating all the tables.
This is our third time to dine at Bleu Duck in the last 15 months. We have enjoyed our dining experience every time.
The food, service and ambience is absolutely wonderful. We'll be back.
The food was excellent as always and it is a pleasure to return to something varied and new whenever I’m in Rochester. The staff and service are friendly and proficient. What more could you ask for. My favorite restaraunt in Rochester.
Food was pretty awesome and the ambiance was awesome. Service was good and a very nice relaxing environment. Will make this a regular place for us to grab dinner.
Had a flawless experience. Greeted at the door by the delightful owner, our server was world class with her ability and her knowledge of the menu and wine list. The chef checked in on us and the flavors of the food were incredible. Will definitely recommend to anyone and everyone.
Our waitress, Kelsey was fantastic. We were meeting a friend that we had not seen for years, and were concerned about table turnover. Kelsey went out of her way to accommodate us.
The food, 1 steak, 1 scallop and 1 pork was great.
Our quest from out of town was very impressed.
