Canard Beaverton — Restaurant in Beaverton

The food and atmosphere are wonderful. I’ve been waiting a year since I first saw the article about Chef Gabriel opening a Canard restaurant in Beaverton in Fall 2025. I wanted to bring my family here to celebrate my birthday. My mom made the reservation, and tonight we arrived excited and thrilled for a unique experience I’ve come to trust from my previous visits to Le Pigeon, Canard next door, and Little Bird before it closed. We were seated immediately, and our waiter (Ryan S.) approached to take drink orders. I told him I'm over 21 and that I'm actually celebrating my 36th birthday tonight—that's why we’re here. I’m not sure if he thought I was being sarcastic, but the rest of the night he didn't smile; in fact, he looked irritated and grumpy, as if he wanted to leave but couldn’t because his shift wasn't over. His body language showed he was unhappy, and his attitude was less than friendly. It felt rude how he set my dad’s beer down, and several family members noticed and asked if my dad had said something to offend him. I told them no, and I also picked up on his poor attitude. What should have been a 1.5-hour meal turned into a three-hour wait with minimal check-ins. I would have expected a five- to seven-course meal in the same amount of time it took us to order two appetizers and one entrée each. It was embarrassing, and the worst part was that Ryan never wished me a Happy Birthday or brought out a dessert or a glass of champagne on the house to celebrate. The whole reason we came was to celebrate my birthday and share an incredible meal with loved ones in a friendly, welcoming environment I've come to know over the years of dining at Gabriel’s restaurants. I can't imagine he would want his guests to be treated this way, and I hope nobody else has to go through a similar experience. Sadly, I don't think I will be returning. This is not how I wish to be treated at a high end restaurant that I view Canard to be of. This was very disappointing, and I'm so bummed about how much I hyped up the restaurant to be and then to have this horrible experience ruin it. I hope Le Pigeon and the Canard restaurant next door to it still have the level of respect and hospitality Gabriel is known for in his...

Happy Hour first time visit. Atomosphere like those of New York, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle. Friendly, professional, clean, on the up and coming pricey side. Good drinks and ample wine list. Childrens menu. Not the biggest of fresh oysters but well displayed. Flavorful burger. I only saw two faults to compete in this competitive industry...I didn't find a signature dish or item (they could easily have one with their fine food selection), and lack of advertising that reaches me. I saw their outside signage and knew that they were new and the old place wasn't inviting, otherwise it looked liked it had been around awhile. Wasn't too busy for a Thursday 4PM diners. We are going back for dinner next time, plenty of handicap parking too. It will do good if it can haul in the Beaverton...

We were excited to eat here for my husband's birthday during their opening week and try the duck frites. Service was very attentive. We lived in Toulouse for a while where we often had magret de canard, so that tends to be our standard. The duck here is a smaller breast and well cooked, including the fat (not burned and not tough). We could have handled an even more rosé color, but it was very tender and tasty, and we scraped up every bit of the mushroom sauce with the rest of the fries. We enjoyed dessert (they thought to add a birthday candle), including a delicious Sauterne. They have a Calvados--but we're saving that...
