   Service was extremely slow. There were 4 servers working but it seemed 3 were on break in back at all times. The restaurant was not busy. Our waitress didn’t check on us after we got our food. She came to give us our check and realized we were still eating, which seemed to annoy her. Food was bland. Won’t return.

   we were at this restaurant for brunch. the staff were very friendly and upbeat - Sunday morning brunch is not a favorite time for anyone to work and these people were unfailingly cheerful. the food was quite good - get the bread plate if you're not counting carbs - the whole thing is good but the biscuits are outstanding. I had the salmon benedict - served on one of their terrific biscuits instead of the traditional English muffin - a real improvement on this dish in my opinion. two of our party had the banana foster french toast - generous portion that my husband couldn't finish and he usually cleans his plate. the other person in our group had the duck burger which he said was quite good. and again, enough of a portion that he wasn't able to quite finish it. good location with ample parking. has a full bar and the mimosas that we had were well made, with generous helping of spirits. overall the decor is spare but very clean looking and modern. will definitely go again when we're in the area

   It pains me not to be able to give a 5 star rating across the board. First, let's talk about the good. My husband and I like to try new foods. We ordered Duck Tostada to share and my husband ordered the Saffron Seafood Pasta, both were delicious. Now for the sad, I ordered the Summer Salad for myself. I had ordered the same salad a few weeks ago and it was fantastic. Last night I mentioned to my husband the Summer Salad missing the pickled watermelon rind and 'something' else. I chose at the time not to dwell on it because he was enjoying his meal. My Summer Salad was missing the pickled watermelon rind, the pink peppercorn and the house made strawberry-basil vinaigrette (if it did have the vinaigrette on the salad it was so little of it I could not tell). However, this hiccup will not keep us from returning to The Shaved Duck. Ben has been our waiter several times and he is very attentive and the hostess was quite charming. : )

   the crispy duck leg was wonderful as was the brioche crouton. switched out to the beans which was a great choice. the gnocchi with duck confit was a great starter. also tried the crusted lamb which was equally wonderful. looking forward to returning.

   The place was dead at 7:00 on a Saturday night!! That should have been our first clue. Our server was nice, but it took a very long time for our cocktails (2 of their house cocktails). We ordered our meal, including a Caesar salad to share to start. Our entrees came out before the salad. The server was very nonchalant about it when we told him that we didn’t get the salad. The entrees were decent, but not worth the price. I had the “crispy” duck leg that tasted fine, but was not crispy since they flooded it with sauce!! My wife had the market fish which was halibut. Her plate of food consisted of mostly rice and a tiny piece of fish. Overall, not a terrible experience, but we probably won’t eat here again when there are other options in the same area that are much higher quality restaurants.

   On a whim my wife and I decided to stop at the Shaved Duck for supper. To our surprise we were able to get reservations within 30 minutes. The overall experience was wonderful. Mussels,the smoked Buffalo wings and we split the summer salad. Surely we will be back!

    The Shaved Duck does it again. Their newest menu was absolutely amazing! The server was knowledgeable about my gluten allergy with what to avoid and swap. Wine pairing was excellent, cocktails were delightful. Lovely time out with our baby. We will continue to return.

    They were out of the appetizer mussels we ordered, so we switched to the fried green tomatoes instead. They were very tasty, though a little bit spicy. Neither my husband nor I like spicy food. I had the duck breast, which was delicious, but again the sauce on it was a bit spicy. I wish they had non-spicy dishes.

    The food and drinks at this restaurant are very good. The chairs and benches could use some padding as they are very hard surfaced. The olives in the $9 martini could definitely be improve; they are miniscule. A couple of good large Spanish olive would be an improvement. Otherwise, I do recommend this restaurant for a visit.

    Food was great. We were starving so that was our fault the food couldn't have gotten to us fast enough. We were all pleased with the brunch. Our waiter was attentive without being too much so. Loved the decor. Very clean and well thought out. We will def go again.

    Overall the food was excellent. It was a perfect spot for our occasion. There was plenty of space between tables and we didn’t feel rushed or crowded. We had a wide variety of food served to different diners, and by far the duck breast was the best. The only two things we Didn’t care for was needed lamb chop popsicles, which had far too much mustard, and the Pork Belly, which came out without any Crispness on it at all. Other than that, I would’ve given a five out of five all accounts. This was a great dining experience.

    The four of us wanted a quiet location and they had a table in a quiet corner, which was great. Our server was fine and kept us supplied with water and my husband with coffee. I had the petite filet, which I thought was supposed to be a filet mignon; perhaps not? definitely not as tender as I expected. But very tasty with a mushroom sauce and yummy small potatoes. My husband loved the shrimp and grits. We would definitely go back.

    I really liked the food as this was recommended by a friend, so that is a win for sure. The service however does not fit the price of the food. I was disappointed as the staff did not seem very experienced and that would have elevated our dining there.

    We went to Shaved Duck for Richmond Restaurant Week. It was our first time trying this venue. The ambience is pleasant, and the service was good. The food was okay but overpriced and skimpy.

    We went for the first time during restaurant week. The mixture of flavors in the dishes was excellent. Pirate water cocktail was so flavorful I had a second. We had delightful folks waiting on our table even though we were later in the evening. Nothing but good things to say about this establishment.

    6 people for Sunday brunch and our service was great. The breads tray was excellent and just the right amount to share. Several of the entrees were very good and a couple fell short. The She Crab soup while tasty was watery and not the creamy sherry infused version most are familiar with. The Duck hash was ok but not as flavorful as expected - somewhat bland. The SPicy Duck and Waffles was an excellent dish and the duck was cooked just right. The Bananas Foster French toast was gooey and very good with the right combo of sauce to toast that was soft and tasty. The oomlette was good according to the orderer but not anything special. The Shrimp and Grits was very tasty and full of nice tasty shrimp and sausage and just the right amount of heat - not too much. However, the grits weren't evenly cooked and some were gummy while others were creamy as expected. When we asked everyone if they would go back it was evenly split 50/50 between yes maybe for dinner and no.
