    My boyfriend and I went for the first time months ago and got the duck and absolutely loved it. We got the same thing tonight and we were extremely disappointed. His came out very rare and mine was very overdone. Our server was new and she was not very attentive. We will not be coming back again anytime soon.

    The food was good. The server was very nice, but inexperienced and not very good. Once the food was delivered she never came back. We had to ask another server to get her for us. We asked for boxes for leftovers, and the one she brought for my food was way too small to fit the half a panini I had leftover. I had to cut it into pieces to fit it into the box. After she saw me do that, she said she could have brought me a bigger box, but I had already cut my sandwich so there was no point. Then she got the bill wrong. Somehow AFTER giving us the bill, before running the credit card, she added a drink from a completely different table to our check, so what she rang up on the card was $10 more than what was on the bill. She and the bartender argued with us that the bill was correct — that the extra was the tax (which was already on the initial bill) and the credit card fee (which was under $2). We showed them those numbers and said there still was an extra $10 in the total AFTER those were included, and we wanted to know where that $10 came from. They investigated (to prove us wrong) and discovered the server's error. They were very apologetic after that, but their attitude toward our questioning was very off-putting. They also sat us in the very crowded "indoor patio" area where all the tables filled up, making it close and noisy. The rest of the restaurant was practically empty. It was not the relaxing meal we had hoped to have.

    Duffy's is a regular stop for us, but the waitress was exceptionally good and helpful. It was a difficult day to visit the restaurant since it was Memorial Day weekend with a parade and carnival going on but our food was excellent and our service was exceptional.

    We were a party of 12 and one server took care of us by herself, no busboy support and yet everything was great. She did an amazing job on top of having a second table of 6 as well.

    The restaurant was overwhelm for blue white weekend. With that being said we waited two hours for food. Server was pleasant at first but after mentioning could we be comped since people seated after us were served before us he become confrontational. We have eaten previously and loved it and not had any problems. Will think twice before we return right now.

    We had a wonderful experience as always. It’s in a quaint historical house and service was excellent. We sat in the front room and I felt cold and the server made it a point to put on the fireplace which was very nice since we were sitting in front of the fireplace. The food was great. I had the halibut with the mustard cream sauce and it was cooked well! My daughter enjoyed her burger and sweat potato fries. Will definitely be back again.
