$$$$Price: Expensive

• American • Rochester

Booked 20 times today

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”. Co-Owners Erik Kleven and Jennifer Lester regard each customer as a welcomed friend, and aim to provide them with an experience that is both personal and unique every time they visit.

We are from out of town and needed a quiet bistro setting to just recollect ourselves. Our server was excellent, we asked not to be rushed and he brought food in that slower pace. Everything we ordered, tuna tartar, Caesar and walleye were just above board. Absolutely delicious, I wonderful experience.

My experience was awesome. I have celiac and just love coming here as I know I won’t get sick after eating. I don’t go out to eat a lot as I’m 30 minutes from Rochester. I am so very thankful for the safe environment to eat it! My heart is full of gratitude! MJ
