Our Chef’s take inspiration from Billy Madison who drew a blue duck because he had never seen one before, and he wanted to see a blue duck! Well, since our chefs love classic Adam Sandler humor and innovative cooking, we thought that Bleu Duck was the perfect name to showcase our fun environment and staff as well as our unique and creative menu. Just like Billy, we like to try things that you’ve never seen before!  Bleu Duck Kitchen and Oyster Bar is a full service restaurant that provides a fun and welcoming atmosphere where white linens meet a casual feel to create the new concept of “fun-dining”. We treat each customer as a welcomed friend, and aim to provide them with an experience that is both personal and unique every time they visit.

    Fantastic contemporary Thai fusion/inspired cocktails, appetizers, and mains. We sat outdoors so the noisy lively Historic Third Street atmosphere was in full swing. Indoors is quieter, barely. Service friendly, straight forward and quick. Have the sprouts, beans/tofu and cauliflower appetizers and duck duck curry or creative fried fish with spicey Thai lava sauces. Never disappoints.

    The staff were absolutely amazing. Very warm amd welcoming. They accommodated a full kitchen tour for my son, who is a social media chef. They went above and beyond for us, and created a life changing impact on my 11 year old. Food was cooked perfectly. Overall, this was the highlight of our trip.
