We were in the area looking for a brunch spot and found this place. The exterior was very cute and…read morequaint; loved the garden out front with huge sunflowers and various flowers. There was a parking lot but we had already parked on-street prior. The interior was cute; there was a cafe and a few tables. On the other side was the kitchen area; they brought out the food to us on the cafe side. The place got busy after we got there; seems to be a hot spot for lunch. We got there around 10:50, they weren't serving food until 11. This was fine since they served coffee and that was priority to us at that time. I had a medium iced maple latte and it was good. For my meal, I had the chicken and waffles sandwich which were decent; there was crispy fried chicken, cole slaw, in between freshly made fluffy waffles. It was overall decent, but something was missing; I think that was some maple syrup or some hot sauce. My child had the fried Mac and cheese donut; it's a Mac and cheese shaped into a donut; this was good and a cute way to present food. Overall, a good spot to get some breakfast and lunch.

We learned that Blue Duck was previously a lunch stop, but is now a very classy dinner restaurant - 5 course tasting menu on Fridays and Saturdays with a fixed price. Each entree was beautiful, unique, very tasty. Ours briefly was 1) sweet corn, ricotta & pesto soup 2) seared Ahi with fried potato and lemon aioli 3) waygu with radish cream, microgreens 4) red gem salad with roasted beets and goat cheese, blueberry vinaigrette 5) Pavlova with berries and oat clusters Wow. The service was attentive and kind. The space was so thoughtfully decorated - everything from the lighting (gentle), to beautiful chairs/tables/dinnerware/flatware/decor- all adds to the beauty, presentation, and ambiance. We traveled here for the skiing, but found this gem of an experience.

I really wanted to like this place after a long day of skiing, but unfortunately, everything we…read moretried missed the mark. - Wings: Okay sauce but the wings were dry. - Shepherd's Pie: Probably the best dish but it still lacked seasoning, needed way more salt. - Bangers and Mash: So disappointing - the sausage wasn't great, the mashed potatoes were bland, and the sauce had a strange smoky-sweet flavor that didn't quite work. - Reuben Sandwich: Definite no for me - so bland, just meat and bread. Honestly, my favorite part of the meal was the fries, which says a lot.

Stopped in on a road trip with my family of three, including a toddler. I wanted to like this…read moreplace. The menu has charm and ambition. The name resonated with us, as we have a flock of 20 chickens at home. Unfortunately nearly everything that could go wrong did. The kids menu has zero breakfast options at a breakfast diner. Grilled cheese and hot dogs don't belong on a morning menu. When we tried to order a single pancake for our toddler we were told "the order is for two." No offer to help, no alternative suggested. Just a hard no. Because of the menu structure, our 3 year old's meal was literally the most expensive at the table. The menu is not kid friendly. The cost of Orange juice is also not kid friendly. But they did give him a "the hatchery" sticker when we left. When ordering pancakes the server asked "sausage or bacon?" with no mention that either was a $4 add-on. That felt like an upsell we weren't warned about. One of our three meals was completely forgotten and only caught when two plates arrived at the table. Someone sat and watched the rest of us get served. Chives were on all of our savory dishes. Not mentioned anywhere on the menu. We found out by picking them off our food. Not everyone wants chives. We ordered blueberry pancakes. Plain pancakes arrived. We only discovered this after paying when we questioned a duplicate blueberry charge on the bill. The response was defensive until we opened the box and showed them. The resolution was a $2.50 refund for the missing blueberries. The "home fries" are smashed baked potatoes, not what anyone expects from that menu description. Some of the potato pieces were visibly bruised and discolored and should never have left the kitchen. A hollow apology. Complete indifference. We tipped, packed up, and left quietly. We were good guests. This place didn't earn it.

BEYOND RUDE. After waiting to be seated for 10 min despite several open tables around me I chose…read morewhat I'd like to have (an omelet) and mention I'm allergic to wheat. The waitress says "we make pancakes in that same space on the grill, you're ok with that?" I said well could you have the chef just wipe down that portion of the grill it should be fine. She said "I'm not gonna do that, so if you're not ok with contamination then that's not for you". I was like- you can't take two seconds to just wipe it down? I got up and left- I have never EVER had an issue at a breakfast place in my life. They weren't busy- it's a Monday morning, no reason that should have been an issue. I will never go here again.

There was an issue with this as the fries that came with my meal were coated in flour and I wasn't told by the waitress. If you're celiac watch out.

They had seating inside and outside ! Inside felt a bit rustic and old age time . Loved the interiors . Lots of seats outside too. Service could be better . We were sitting for 5-8 mins for someone to attend us and give a beer . Looks like the same waitress was going outside and also serving inside . Wish they had dedicated bartenders . Food was great though .. not so pricey .. rightly priced . We got hummus and it was sumptuous . Lots of veggies and pita bread slices to eat with hummus. Hummus was fresh and tasted good . Good experience overall . Parking was available outside . 4 stars !

We came literally a few minutes before closing time, and they were kind enough to accommodate our group. There was a few ppl seated enjoying coffee and convos, but no one line, so ordering was quick.
