    Went to the Sitting Duck in Stratford, place has various locations across CT. Just got a few bites to eat and sat in the bar area. Shared some Philly Egg rolls, steak tips and a Bird Cage chicken sandwich. Everything was pretty good, the steak tips were my favorite, came with a good pepper aioli to dip in. The Philly Egg rolls were different, almost had a Mexican vibe to them with adding the green pepper, they weren't bad, just different, enjoyed the dipping sauce those came with. Fries and chicken sandwich were tasty, nothing special. Good place to grab a drink and snacks.

    Z Bar Calamari

    We started our meal with the Zbar Calamari - which had hot cherry peppers, basil and hot oil. This was just enough to take those hunger pains away. The calamari was fresh and the hot oil was a nice addition. Our meals - mine the cadillac burger had both bbq sauce and chipotle ranch with cheddar cheese blend and fronions. Just enough topping so your not all messy but enough that the burger tasted really good. I asked for my fries well done so they had a nice crisp and were so good I used no ketchup. My husband's meal was a swordfish with a nice sear with a creamy pesto pasta. My husband does not have the opportunity for swordfish often. However, he was very happy with his swordfish today. His meal came with a large portion of pasta so we shared it. A small but well done menu.

    Got the Thai salad- lettuce was wilted and salad was small and skimpy- nothing to it. The sitting stir fry was ok, too saucy and you have to tell them to go light on the sauce as it is otherwise it just tastes like pure salt. The kids pasta is soaked in butter. My kids wouldn't even eat it. Broccoli was inedible. I would never go back. Wait staff were friendly but really very bad food.

    Lime chicken salad

    Noooo! Ordered takeout from here for the first time! While I was pretty happy with my salad that was "Tex Mex /lime inspired, it didn't have any lime flavor. The cheesesteak egg rolls didn't taste like anything, you really could say it had any filling because I could tell cheesesteak at all. But the most disappointing was the boneless wings, $15 for 5 and they were sooo dry!! They were over cooked and you really had to drink water to get them down. The "mango habanero" flavor was undetectable as they were dry rub and flavorless. Bummer!!

    The service was great here but sadly the food was not the best; the soup was great, the portion for the beef plate was underwhelming, and the beef tips were a tad bit over-salted. I have been to the Trumbull and Oxford locations and although the menus vary I think it's better to go to one of those locations! However, the homey feel and warm ambiance is lovely here in the Stratford location

    Stopped in for an impromptu early dinner for the first time. Cute little tavern with a small dining room & bar area. They also have an outdoor patio area. Music was spot on in this feel-good vibe dive space. Our server, Sean was super attentive to our needs while also watching the bar. I would have liked to see a bigger dinner entree selection, but they had some unique fare on their menu. We had the Pierogies, fabulous mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, cheesesteak egg rolls, and the birdcage chicken sandwich. Food was amazingly delicious & prices were average. We would definitely stop back again when in this neck of the woods!

    Pork Cutlet

    We came to Sitting Duck Tavern this weekend for my dad's birthday. I had previously tried their food (and loved it) through take out when COVID first started and was excited to finally go to the restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the inside of the restaurant was and our waiter did a great job of seating all 6 of us at a large table, far from anyone else. For drinks my sister and I got the espresso martini with baileys, my mom got a cosmo, and my dad got a draft beer. The espresso martini was phenomenal! I kind of wish I had saved it for the end as dessert as the Bailey's made it extra creamy. They also had a large selection of local draft beer. For apps, we got the duck wings, bacon brussel sprouts, and truffle fries. Everything was great but the brussel sprouts really stood out to me! They were so crispy and had this lovely maple glaze on top. Even my boyfriend, who hates brussel sprouts, enjoyed them. The duck wings were also super tasty and a unique item to see on the menu! For dinner I got the bacon cheddar mac and cheese. It was excellent! I loved the addition of the peas in the dish and bacon and breadcrumbs were perfectly crisped. Other entrees that were ordered were the Cali burger, chicken Milanese ciabatta, pork cutlet, and Buffalo bomb. I tried a taste of each and everything was fantastic and high quality! Overall I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the valley. Great service, drinks, and food - all at an affordable price. I am excited to try their outdoor patio area once it warms up! Thank you for making my dad's birthday dinner a great one!

    This is my medium rare Sitting Duck Burger.

    I guess I haven't learned. Decided to try take out again from Stratford Sitting Duck. Sitting Duck burger medium rare? Sorry but not again. I'm the dope.

    Food and service (Ryan) was phenomenal. The Salmon was the best I ever had. And the Beef tips was another 10 out of 10.

The ahi nachos were good, I didn't eat many of the wonton chips because I thought it would be way too heavy, but there was a decent amount of fish. The Brussel sprouts were SO GOOD. The glasses they give you for water are really small, maybe like 6-8ounces and they leave a carafe at the table, but that was tall and skinny, maybe 20ounces. Since it was hot, we were drinking it and it quickly emptied. That's my only minor complaint. This was a very nice spot for a casual lunch by the water.

The restaurant is great for special events indoors and features lovely outdoor seating complete with a koi pond and outdoor bar. Over the summer a pair of osprey had two to three babies in a nest you could see from your table. Some of our favorite items on the menu have been their salads, the smash burger (ask for lettuce, tomato and fresh jalapeños) as well as the chicken sandwich. On one occasion they had gyoza as a special and it was delicious. On this past weekend we shared the smash burger with a side house salad. This house salad did not disappoint. Service can be iffy as it was on this visit, but food and ambience are great.

You could tell moms were being celebrated everywhere, families were out enjoying themselves, and despite the crowd, the atmosphere still felt fun and lively instead of stressful. They offer an all-you-can-eat menu with a huge variety of sushi, seafood options, and buffet station, which definitely felt worth the price considering how much food is available. Without a reservation, the wait looked pretty long, so I'd definitely recommend calling ahead on holidays or weekends. Even with how crowded it was, the service stayed good throughout the night. The ordering system uses tablets at the table, and because of how busy it was, a few of my orders didn't go through the first time. I mentioned it to our server and he immediately addressed the issue, made sure I reordered everything, and continued checking in to make sure our food was arriving correctly. I also appreciated how accommodating the staff was. I asked for a chicken sushi roll and they made one for me I did have to reorder the seafood boil before receiving it, but the servers stayed attentive, communicated with us, and handled concerns professionally the entire time. What stood out most was that despite the chaos, everyone still seemed to be enjoying themselves. The staff was clearly working hard, but they stayed friendly and attentive throughout the Mother's Day rush. Overall, the food was good, the vibe stayed positive, and it still ended up being an enjoyable holiday dinner with friends and family. Definitely a spot I'd come back to; just with a reservation next time

They also had a dessert buffet in the bar area of their place that was self serve. Everything else was ordered via an iPad and they'd bring your order to your table. Their sushi was great quality. My favorite thing I tried on their menu was their lotus leaf seafood sticky rice. SOOO GOOD. Like I'm still thinking about it. I need to have it again. Evelyn my server was sooo cool and so funny I don't think I've ever liked a waitress more in my life, like I liked her. I wanna see her too next time I go. One thing I will say that was disappointing was their green tea cocktail. I mean I had six of those things and NOTHING. So I'm sure you can pick up what I'm putting down there .. and they were 9 bucks each. Total waste of calories and money. Other than that, fire place, no doubt that they'll see my face there again. I loved it. Thanks Sushi Kingdom !
