One of my favorite small plate restaurants I've been to!! Everything was amazing, very unique, and delicious. Plating was beautiful. Service was fast and caring. The sweet corn ice cream was the best ice cream I've ever had! read more

The team at Odd Duck is incredible. I recently visited with my girlfriend to celebrate her birthday. Not only did the hostess wish her a happy birthday, but they had a card from the team and complimentary glasses of champagne at our table. Our server was also great. He was timely and helped us with menu recommendations. And the Odd Duck menu was amazing -- we struggled picking what to order because we wanted everything. I'll also call out, that Odd Duck does a great job accommodating those who need/wish to be gluten free. I have celiac, and the vast majority of their menu can be modified to be gluten free. I would recommend Odd Duck to anyone and everyone read more

Went to Odd Duck for the second time last night and the food, service and overall experience were just as incredible as our last time there. The dishes they create are so well balanced and every flavor on the plate creates a literal symphony on your palette. Also the timing of when dishes get delivered and what seems to be a curated order to the table is truly unique to this restaurant. I'd highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to experience a wide variety of different dishes that are all well made. read more

Really worth the visit. The menu is a collection of modern rustic out -in-the-country fare. Well, at least of I was lost in that neck of the woods. read more

This place was absolutely amazing. Highly suggest for date night for a totally different experience ordering one entrée at a time to have a slow relaxing time. Martinis are fantastic as well. Our waiter was amazing. The recommendations were perfect. read more

Last night we went to Odd Duck for the first time and it did not disappoint! We made a reservation a few days ahead of time, just because we know it's often busy. We decided not to have any drinks, but the ones on the table next to us looked incredible! We went for four small plates for the two of us, and it was the perfect amount of food. We started with the Foie Gras Duck Confit Croquettes which melted in our mouth and we're so tasty! Next we had the Matar Paneer, which had just enough spice to it and they gave us two bowls to split. The Beef Shortrib came in next and was cooked to perfection. We rounded it out with the wood fired broccoli which had the best sauce! The staff was very on top of things and knowledgeable about the menu. I would 100% go back and it definitely did not break the bank! read more

One of the very best tapas in Milwaukee! I also had the charcuterie board, tuna crudo, etc (shared a few plates with several people) what stood out: chicken liver mousse was absolutely delightful, just perfect and the candied peaches. Pictured is the muhammarah with the wood fired bread, this sauce/dip is wizardry! Tuna crudo is very fresh with the aguachile which did not overpower the fish in spice. What I really loved during my visit was how they concocted my dirty martini, it was just on point, perfect brine from the olive juice. They have such fun cocktails on the menu and it's really impossible to have just 1 drink. The service was great! We came with about 18 people (I think) and they were very patient and accommodating with us! Ambiance is casual but also intimate and just lots of fun! Will be back!! read more

Very good food, great cocktails. Recommend getting 3-5 dishes to share for 2 people. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Milwaukee...and in the country. We ate here when we first moved here in their old location, and have frequented the 2nd street location multiple times a year as well. The cocktail menu deserves its own review, but the food here is just. Amazing. An Indian inspired plate will remind us of a favorite meal by family with an extra twist, an Asian inspired dish will make us want to try to recreate the sauce at home, and the dessert menu always tempts us into trying something that will make us too full for any further adventures. Top that off with ducks absolutely everywhere in the place and some of the loveliest staff in Milwaukee, and you've got Odd Duck. I have no pictures because we're always stuffing our faces...hopefully that convinces you to try them! read more

I really enjoyed this place. it's good for a date spot. my sister and I split a bottle of wine and went in on a bunch of tapas. our server was very friendly and made great, honest suggestions. felt very inclusive and had gender neutral bathrooms :) read more

had a date night here with my husband and had such a great time. first tip, make sure to get a reservation at least a few weeks in advance ... they fill up fast. beverage menu was full of fantastic cocktails or wines. we had a hard time picking from their tapas style menu. ended up choosing five things for the two of us (glad we did because the portions are a bit on the smaller side). they did such a great job pacing us... always keeping us with food and not rushing us to complete one when the next was served. my only feedback is that this is not the place to go when you're starving...while I left super pleased with everything, it was not a huge meal that left me super full! will definitely be back though. read more

Just a note to say still fabulous. It looks like I've been eating here for over 7 years now

Odd Duck is one of those places I always driven by while in Bay View but never purposely visited... until recently that is! Once I walked in I was actually surprised on how open their dining space was, for some reason I assumed they had a smaller, more intimate space. Their space from the street is deceptive, haha. Also, they have a patio space in the back for outdoor dining. On this visit, I was solo, so I only wanted to take up one spot at the bar. I ordered the #31 with mezcal and a strawberry garnish, a very refreshing flavor! I also put in an order for the "Cry Baby Cauliflower" and that may be the best cauliflower dish I've ever had! While I wouldn't say I was full after eating it, the taste was great! I think if I wasn't in as big of a hurry, I would have ordered another cocktail and another item on the menu - but this first visit has me rethinking what I thought I knew of the space. I think it will make for a great future date spot too. read more

Wonderful experience at odd duck. The walleye was so juicy we almost ordered another. We also inhaled the dessert which was chocolatey almond cookies over marshmallow & more toasted almonds. It's really a lovely casual atmosphere w pleasant service. Worth a drive up from Chicago for a weekend retreat. read more

O.M.G. You're not going to find better food in Milwaukee. Fight me. EVERYTHING on their menu is either amazing or fan-f#%*ing-tastic. If I were a richer woman, I would walk in and get one of everything on the menu. The first time I tried it, I was so impressed, that the next night when I had reservations to another "foodie" Restaurant, I left after appetizers and came back to Odd Duck. This place makes me want to bring them little duckies. And I don't say that lightly. I want to hold them and love them and make them mine. The restaurant, that is. Not the ducks. Those I could leave or take. BUT I love the place so Much, that I accept and respect their love for the ducks and will take them just as they are. Am I proposing to a restaurant? Mayhaps. Try it and tell me you're not in love. read more

Where to begin? The food, the service, everything is fabulous! I love choosing the small plates, it's almost as fun as eating them! Servers give solid suggestions on what to order and how much. Each plate is thoughtfully organized to give you the best experience. Dishes are timed so well, and you never feel rushed! We are so fortunate to have such a gem in Milwaukee! read more

Lives up to its reputation. Nice atmosphere, quality service, well prepared food, and appealing to foodies. You know who you are. Get a reservation, you'll need one, possibly well in advance, if aiming for weekend. We ordered: $12 Glass Chenin Blanc, $24 Full Medames, and $38 Steak, the last two items sized for two people. The Medames was outstanding and paired well with the steak served on the bread that came with the Medames. read more

What a gem! The food was amazing-just the right amount. The bartenders were friendly and skilled. Highly recommen.

Solid spot in Wisconsin...it's hard to find a good spot here. I had a solo dinner here and it was good. The octopus was great and the sweet corn crème brûlée was unexpectedly good! Cheese plate was just ok. read more

A great dinner spot. This uniquely decorated place gives off good vibes and tasty tapas. For the table we tried a 4 cheese spread of charcuterie ending up with an aged cheddar, two types of blue cheeses and some other white cheese. Hands down being a girl from Buffalo the creamy blue cheese was my favorite. We ordered a few tapas to share including the octopus, pork belly, queso fundido, heirloom tomato salad and shishito peppers. Hands down the octopus was cooked to perfection. I am a glutton for octopus though and this was flavored perfectly and crispy on the ends while tender in the meatier parts. Another really good mention was the pork belly- perfectly sticky and charred on the outside and tender in the middle. Shout out to the lamb chorizo queso fundido! Cheese, cheese, cheese. The lamb wasn't super present and honestly probably could have been taken out. The creme brulee was weirdly not cracking on top so I would skip this. read more

Enjoyed my dining experience at Odd Duck. Service and ambiance was great. The food was very good and I enjoyed the variety. The foie gras duck confit croquettes and the oyster mushrooms were amazing. The lamb and pork dishes were okay. We also got the crème brûlée which we found to be a little too sweet but a huge portion. Aside from that, it is definitely one of the best tapas places in Milwaukee. I am definitely going back to try more plates! read more

One of my favorite spots in MKE. Everything is fantastic, drinks are excellent as well as the food. Servers are polite and do a good job being around but not lingering, and the atmosphere is intimate and inviting. If you haven't been since they relocated to Walkers Point you must see their new location, and all the lovely ducks. read more

My boyfriend and I have gone here for our anniversary 3 times and have never been disappointed. They were so kind and gave us a note saying happy anniversary and a free glass of champagne for both of us. The food and ambiance were wonderful! read more

You will have to make reservations if you want to dine in, but the patio seating is a first come and first serve basis. My friend and I called beforehand to see how long the wait would be for the patio seating and they told us it would be a 30-40 min wait on a Saturday evening. We decided to check it out and walk around the neighborhood as we wait. Luckily, when we stopped by to put our names on the list, we were seated right away! We didn't have to wait after all. The only bad thing is that there were a lot of bugs where we were seated. Some flew into our drinks and food. We ordered the following items. Their menu is more like a tapas style. They suggested ordering 3-4 items for two people. Chef's Choice Charcuterie Board - if you are in a mood for a surprise or don't know what to choose for your cheese and charcuterie board, select this option Crispy Fried Cry Baby Cauliflower - Warning. This dish is SPICY, but I love it. They fry it really well where the texture is very crispy. This is my favorite dish. Nihari Gajar Gosht - the braised beef short rib is cooked to perfection where it melts in your mouth. The sauce is not overbearing and doesn't have a heavy taste which is perfect because they give you the green chili chutney which is amazing!! Their garlic naan bread that comes with this dish is toasted where it has a slight crisp to it Springtime Cassoulet au Canard - we got this dish bc the place is called "Odd Duck" so we thought it would be necessary to get a duck dish. It's a heavy and starchy dish and the taste is more on the bland side. It is served in a mini cast iron skillet so it keeps it warm for a long time. The smoked duck breast was cooked nicely, but it didn't have much taste to it. The duck sausage has an interesting texture and the fava beans are huge and it has a potato taste and texture. read more

Not my cup of tea. Too many better options in the area. Parking can also be challenging.

I think it's probably already understood but this place is amazing. One of the best meals I've had in a while! We enjoyed some fresh drippy olives while waiting for the dinner hours to officially start. Also tried a local blueberry kombucha that was extra delicious. For our meal, we shared a perch dish with succotash, a tempeh dish with broccoli, and one that was a sort of Indian flat bread pizza. The latter was probably my fav although my partnered really enjoyed the tempeh. Had we had room, we would have tried one of each dessert, ha, but were quite content at the end. Can't wait to go back & try some more! read more

I go here for the small plates. Lots of selection and variety. The oyster mushrooms and octopus are my favorites. The drinks are also incredible. They have a favorites section which every drink is delicious. The chilli and cornbread is delicious. I like to bring my friends because everything can be shared. Save room for dessert! read more

A great spot serving an ever-changing menu of small plates. There were so many vegetarian dishes to pick from. We started with the cheese board and moved onto a summer farm heirloom tomato salad, which was refreshing and delicious. We then did the summer squash and corn salad which was warm and tasty and had the perfect crunch. The shishito pepper dish was comfort cooking at its finest. The idli sambal was tasty with the perfect amount of indian spices. The staff, ambiance and food really delivered. No dish went wasted. Will definitely be back soon :)! read more

We have always loved odd duck. I'm glad to see they're in an even bigger space but also kept the same vibe of the old location. The evolving menu always has something awesome for my vegan wife, and I always get my meat fix here as well. I don't think we have ever had a bad dish here and it's always great for dinner that's casual or even a special occasion. They always have rad cocktails happening too so be sure to get one. read more

I've only had carry out before, so this was our first in person Odd Duck experience and it did not disappoint. We loved our drinks and everything we tried was absolutely amazing. Our waiter was excellent and had great recommendations. Going with a group of 4 was perfect to try all of the dishes we wanted! We let our waiter basically choose for us and it was perfect. We had a variety from vegetarian to steak and from American to Asian cuisine. One of the most impressive things about this place is the variety of items they create with the highest quality and taste. I can't recommend them highly enough and I am already looking forward to our next visit! read more

Really, really pleased with the new location and the attention to detail to the patrons.

We've been to Odd Duck many times and love it. The food is unique and delicious. The menu changes from time to time but is always good. The service is top notch, the servers know what the menu tastes like and can make recommendations. The restaurant is very nice kind of casual with an upscale vibe. Sitting on the deck is always a great choice regardless of weather. We try to go anytime we are back in Austin. read more

New location and yummy vibes all around. Odd duck has been on my list of places for far too long to check out and I finally checked them off my list of places to dine at. From the drinks, small plates, to dessert, our server Adam made sure we were taken care of and in for a wonderful dining experience. We had a few snack items, a pimento cheese ball, roasted nuts (yum!) and the olives. If you love mushrooms, be sure to order the oyster mushrooms. We LOVED the Moroccan chicken as well! We closed up our meal with their cashew chocolate cheesecake dessert with a citrus sauce. Only complaint is that the AC was blasted so if you run on the colder side, bring a jacket for dining in! read more

Odd Duck specializes in small plates, and their menu is nothing short of creative and delicious. One of their dishes that stood out among the rest was their Seafood Laksa. It packs a punch with flavor and when you're finished, you'll just want more. I'd also recommend the Apple Braised Pork Cheeks if that's within your diet. Their cocktails are sophisticated, and I'd recommend #27 because I enjoyed the combination of gin and elderflower. The service was incredibly accommodating at Odd Duck and that's why I plan on going back. Lastly, due to its namesake, you will find hundreds of pictures or figurines of ducks scattered around the restaurant. Despite what one may think, it actually works well and doesn't seem strange. In fact, their whole ambience is quite relaxing, an ideal setting for a nighttime dinner with friends. read more

Didn't make a reservation, but was able to walk right in and grab a seat at the bar (helped that I was solo). Ordered the bread plate with Beehive cheese + summer squash. Everything tasted good. Was a nice, yet also laid back atmosphere. Would be a cute date spot. Over all I had a pleasant time, but not sure I would frequent it as it's a bit higher end of a place than my norm read more
