The food is amazing! Perfectly prepared, creative flavours and the seasoning on every dish was spot on. This is food you can't wait to swallow so you can have another bite! The staff is knowledgeable and attentive. The wine sourcing and pairings are also excellent. They do a lot of things different from traditional restaurants but the results are all for the better.

One of the worst dining experiences ever. The server asked if we're sharing food, he said their dishes are meant to be shared, but look at the portion... and they said the ravioli is a reversed version, that it's very juicy... nope, I don't taste any different from those I had before. Ribs, very dry, not much taste, small portion; carrots and mushroom, taste good but expected, small portion, pricy; oysters, too small, pricy. I mean, it's okay to be pricy, but with this tiny portion, at least make it up with some really innovative flavours, but nope, I can basically make most food much better myself (and I don't even cook a lot). In conclusion, very pretentious, most work done on the surface, nothing special except especially expensive, overly charged, mostly, feel like I got scammed. Oh, and they said they don't charge tips, as if it's very noble of them...

holy moly what a great experience! service was beyond incredible. Sam hooked us up with an eating order for our plates that was amazing. each dish came out looking like a work of art and tasting like I need it again asap. already was in love with the concept of the place, and now that I've tried it I am a true fan ?

Excellent food, service and ambience. The menu changes at least a couple of times a week so we are already anticipating another visit soon as we're curious about what other splendid concoctions they will come up with.With each item on the menu there are suggested wine pairings but we don't like alcohol. So the bartender/mixologist created a couple of non-alcoholic pairings for our sturgeon and duck dishes. The drinks were very creative and perfectly complemented our shared dishes. We will come back for the drinks alone.We ordered four dishes for two people with average appetites - two vegetables (vegetable dishes tend to be smaller) and two meat dishes. The vegetable dishes appeared small in portion but they packed a huge taste.Everything about our experience was top notch, unique, and creative. The staff was friendly without being obtrusive. "Sam" was our server and she was absolutely delightful - not because she just knew the Odd Duck offerings but because she was so proud of, and excited about, being part of the Odd Duck team.Odd Duck feels like a team effort amongst the entire staff and the folks there all feel a sense of ownership and equality and respect amongst one another.If you want to understand just how unique Odd Duck is, check out their website and read their Code of Conduct. If every restaurant functioned like Odd Duck, they would thrive and do well, and serve their customers and staff well.There's only one thing I wish was better - the chairs. I have a delicate derriere so sitting on a wood chair for a couple of hours was painful. They probably had cushions somewhere, had I asked, but who wants to admit that they have a bony behind?

Go for drinks. Only drinks. They’re expensive but that’s fine and to be expected for something above your dive bar buck a beer type place. The food though… NOT worth it. It tastes good, but they claim each plate to be “shareable” when the entrees are in fact an appetizer for a child at best. You’ll pay about $30-$40 for these “meals” so that they (as you’ll be told in the opening speech) can pay their staff a livable wage without tipping. So at least there’s that.

I absolutely love Odd Duck. Wes, Jon and their whole team have created a welcoming warm environment where folx can come together to create memories over delicious savory creations. Wow. The food. You need to take your time and enjoy every single bite. We ordered two dishes each and shared them so we could taste most of the menu. Drinks! Don't forget to order drinks. Yum! Thank you for the amazing evening.
The odd duck offers more than just food. It's a whole experience. We ordered 4 plates between two people; the beef prime rib, the carrots, the leek and the pasta option. All of them were amazing. I was going to attempt to describe it but I'm really struggling I can only say the food was amazing.The staff was excellent they were incredibly attentive, to the point where the server knows you by name based on the time you arrive.They mixed drinks they served as well were fantastic. I ordered the "some like it hot" bourbon based drink and the "Some romantic name" gin based drink. Both were amazing and we're incredibly high quality.Something to call out, it's pretty expensive. But you're paying for an experience on top of premium food and service. Another callout - They pay their service staff a livable wage so there's no tipping culture here. Which I think is admirable.
My partner and I went to odd duck for the first time on Valentine's day. We had been highly recommended by family, and it stood up to the reputation! Our server Samm was lovely and attentive, and despite it being such a busy evening the food came quickly and consistently. They had a special menu for Valentine's day which was super fun and made the dinner into an experience. Definitely affordable for the quality; every dish was a flavour combination I never tasted before.Will definitely be coming back here :)

Exceptional food, hands down some of the best in the region. Phenomenal flavors and presentation. Expensive but well worth it to pay a living wage in a no-tip setup. Service could have been quicker and more attentive.

Our first time visiting this great little place. We live downtown and finally got a chance for a relaxing night out so a quick walk to this place and we were amazed. It's very unassuming from the outside. But inside its tasteful decor and amazing staff make you feel like you're going to have a great dinner before you even sit at the table. The food was amazing. Wes was fantastic at explaining everything. For once, I feel like I got a meal where the portions were appropriately sized and for the money the food was right up there in terms of quality with any fine dining in the region. Compliments to everyone there. We will be back!!
