    While the QC has plenty of dives, breweries, and sports bars, there is a dearth of great cocktail bars.

I travel quite a bit for work so I'm on the road and I'm usually stopping at new places, but I took my family here and was absolutely blown away by the service and their attentiveness to my wife's allergies, their menu was simple which speaks volumes to the quality that the chefs will be putting out, their drink menu was superb and they didn't miss on a single facet of the experience.

I'll admit I was a little bit disappointed with the experience. The ambiance is very nice. The restaurant was in the downtown area very close to the mississippi river. There seemed to be a lot happening at the other establishments.In the area. The service was efficient , although we weren't a big fan of our server. One of the things that bothered me was when our bill came and they have those handheld machines that cash you out , the server stood over the top of us waiting to see how much gratuity we were gonna apply to our check. That's one thing that should never be done in a nicer place. The food was decent. The brussels sprout salad was absolutely fantastic. We ordered four different entrees. The swordfish , the salmon , lamb meatballs and a pasta dish. All came out hot looking really nice and had multiple components. Some of the dishes lacked seasoning and the overall wow factor. The bill came out to $240 with one salad , four entrees and five alcoholic drinks. Very reasonable fo four people at a nice place. We didn't order dessert, but I would've liked to try the cheesecake.

One of the appetizers was a morel mushroom soup which was downright exquisite. They also had a 30 oz lightly smoked lobster tail. We didn't get that but noticed several people did and it looked amazing. There is a range of seafood, beef, chicken, duck, etc.; all with interesting presentations. And the desserts are great too. We had the carrot cake and a chocolate chip cookie with toppings. The cookie was about 6 inches in diameter! Duck City Bistro is an all around fun time with great food and epic presentations. No ordinary dishes need apply here!

We dined on February 13th-we were excited, as our reservation was made due to an enthusiastic review of a friend. There was a bit of a show from the owner when he was introducing the featured items, which we found endearing. The drinks were good, although hardly uniform, as multiple people in our party ordered the same drink but they were served in different glasses with varying levels of alcohol. The menu was heavy on the steak and seafood, and there were no prices listed. We ordered the duck (signature dish) and the crab legs. No mention from the waitress on any pricing (and shame on us for not asking). The meal was good, although nothing outstanding. We were happy with our experience until the bill came. The crab legs alone were $300!!! Our jaws hit the floor. We have dined in many upscale restaurants (Manhattan, Miami, Chicago) and we have NEVER paid close to that price tag for crab legs. We spoke to the owner Jerry, and he issued excuse after excuse. He stated that he paid "$100 per pound" and our order consisted of 1.5 pounds...so we were up-charged $150?! He was incredibly defensive and non-apologetic regarding our experience. Our take home point to him was if you're going to charge that amount of money for a singular menu item, you need to disclose the price when people order. Our bill was over $500 for mediocre food and left us with such a poor experience. That's more than we spend on an entire month dining out. We felt swindled and taken advantage of. Shame on us for not asking the price, and shame on Jerry and this restaurant for charging such an outrageous price for a menu item. BEWARE!!! We will never eat here again-largely because of the terrible response we got from the owner when we expressed our frustration and the lack of transparency with the menu.

It's mostly a wine bar so I guess that makes sense, but there were appetizers (charcuterie, pulled pork nachos, baked Brie, etc) and that was about it. After driving 3.5 hours to get to this place, I was hoping for something a little heartier. I went with the pulled pork nachos though and they were made quickly... I had to them go so the presentation wasn't the prettiest. They were very underwhelming and they forgot the pork... not the greatest miss when you're so hungry! They tasted like an in-cohesive dish... basically some chips with canned cheese, pickled onions/green onions and some bbq sauce put on top. Definitely not filling either, even though it was only an appetizer. I did order the lavender limeade and that's pretty good! The nachos were $15 and the limeade was $5 so $20. The restaurant/bar itself was beautiful -- very upscale decor and a nice ambiance. There were several people enjoying wine and all their other spirits. All in all... if you want a full meal you'll probably need to order several small plates to feel satisfied.
