The Blue Duck Kitchen & Bar — Restaurant in Livingston

My husband and I wanted to try something new and so we went to this place we got seated right away got our waitress to greet us and ask us if we wanted a appetizer and the waitress took our drink order and she left us while we looked over our menus got our drinks 10 minutes later and she took our orders and took our menus and I told her my diet dr.pepper tasted off and gave us our appetizer a few minutes after that by a different waiter and my husband drink was empty the waiter and our waitress never ask if we wanted anything I raised my hand a couple of times and they passed me by like I was a ghost I got mad so I went to the person that showed us to our table the situation and she jumped and got me another drink and got my husband a refill everything was ok with us then our waitress comes to the table and confronts me and says that the hostess was not responsible for our table and that they was busy and that she got a cloudy mind and basically forgot about us. That made me even madder and I am a type of person when I get mad I cry I was crying at the table on how mad I was I had to go to the bathroom and cry it out I ask for the manager when they gave us our food 30 minutes later and explained what happened and I was so upset the manager was nice enough to pay for our food that's the only reason I will go back because of the manager but if I get the service I got by the waitress and waiter I will never go back. And what's funny is I get paid to try restaurants and I got paid to try that one and they messed up big time I will be reporting them to my...

Came in last night 2/4/21 with my family. We were not greeted upon walking in. I asked the lady if we seat ourselves and she appeared surprised as if she didn’t notice 4 people standing there waiting to be seated. After being seated we waited for 15 minutes possibly longer, for a server to speak with us. It was an odd feeling as it seemed intentional however, I won’t know if it was an honest mistake or not. Finally a server asked if we had been helped or not yet. The server approached us and took our drinks. I ordered a whiskey old fashioned and the server asked if I want anything in the drink with my whiskey. It’s a whiskey old fashioned are you not familiar I said. I let her know to ask the bartender if they can make a whiskey old fashioned and if not to let me know I’ll order something different. She had a smug look as if I was the one being rude when we just sat there for 15 minutes straight without so much as a greeting from anyone. The restaurant was not busy at all so this wouldn’t be a good reason for this terrible experience. She brought us our drinks and I let her know I’ll pay for the drinks and that would be it. Clearly we weren’t welcomed or wanted in this restaurant. This might be a great experience for others however we were ignored and treated as if we shouldn’t have walked in. I won’t be back nor will I recommend this place to...

I ordered the blackened chicken, came with a side of wild rice and vegetables. $13. The seasoning on the chicken and veggies were good. The wild rice tasted exactly like Uncle Ben’s Wild rice you make in a box. It was just okay. The chicken was very dry and hard to cut even with a steak knife. Portion sizes were spot on. Value of the meal was acceptable ONLY IF the chicken would have been not so tough and dry. I ate it anyways, with zero complaint.

My husband ordered the fried fish. $13. He said the fish was some of the best he has eaten in awhile. He received a side of wild rice as well. The quality was good, however, the portion size of wild rice was lacking. Actually, with such a small portion, this meal should at least have 2 sides, instead of one. Please consider adding an additional side item, if even a small house salad.

The decor was unique and quite fascinating. Located in a very old building on the square. The service was top notch as one would want. It was very surprising as a customer to be greeted with a smiling and welcoming gentleman extending his hand. Very impressive. Also, our waiter a young man, was very informative with our questions and also extended a hand as well.

Overall, we will definitely give it another shot especially after seeing the hamburgers being delivered to...
