This was a great little find as we were leaving the cities. The atmosphere is so cool. Classy and down home. The bathrooms are also very cute. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It’s a short menu, with amazing sounding options. Our food arrived very fast and it was fantastic! We will definitely be coming back.

We’ve never been disappointed in a meal here but this review is about their Mother’s Day brunch (and I’m sure it holds for other special day brunches) – it is unparalleled in Rochester. The quality of every single item was incredible. They’ve really separated themselves from other good options for such functions. Really impressed. Already looking forward to the next holiday brunch!

Excellent food and service. Pictured is just part of our excellent Easter brunch, but have been for several other meals and Bleu Duck has always been a great experience. Must stop if looking for some excellent and higher class food in Rochester. The oyster bar is phenomenal.

This is a cozy restaurant located just west of 4th Street and Broadway SW. They serve dinner most nights and have fun cooking classes, tastings and offer catering.

My daughter, her boyfriend, and I went to their Saturday brunch. It was so delicious and a fun atmosphere. My daughter loves trying new foods and restaurants, and she was very impressed. We will go back when they are in town next time. They had a musician performing (guitar and singing) who was really good and the volume was perfect. There were all ages of people in the restaurant, including children.

We had a wonderful service. The meal was reasonably priced. Oysters were great. Our appetizer was amazing. Felt like both entrees were a bit dry and overcooked even with the sauces. The dessert was delicious, salted caramel crepe cake. Worried about it being cloying or overly sweet but it wasn’t. Chocolate cookies were slightly crisp on the outside and then underbaked inside. Took them home to finish cooking and ate them with ice cream. Overall, this will be a place I could add to my Happy Hour list for the bar menu, appetizers and oysters.

Food was excellent, atmosphere modern and fun, service top notch. Save room for dessert-SO worth it. Only complaint is we were there for our anniversary, and we’re not offered anything “extra”. The hostess wished us a happy anniversary; however, complimentary dessert or something would have been nice. It’s a small thing, but would have put the experience at an A+.

Brunch had a variety for everyone! Avocado lobster toast was delicious and unique, fried rice was savory and had the perfect amount of spice. The waffle was amazing too! We are from out of town but will be back to try dinner. Live music in the morning was an additional perk to the atmosphere!
