From the OpenTable editors: From the same group as the beloved La Collina, restaurateur Hollis Wells Silverman's The Duck & The Peach digs deep into local, seasonal produce alongside rotisserie-grilled meats. Get comfortable in the industrial-chic dining room and consider going all out with the showstopping crispy duck feast that's served as part of a three-course meal that might include chèvre-filled dates and pumpkin gnudi. It's no wonder the New York Times named the restaurant one of the 25 best in DC.

Yes, The Duck & The Peach is a popular choice for date night. Guests frequently praise the restaurant’s warm, airy dining room, thoughtful plating, handcrafted cocktails and an elevated yet approachable New American menu. The signature rotisserie duck (and the Duck Feast with wine pairings) is a favorite for special evenings. Expect a lively but intimate atmosphere on weekends; for a quieter, romantic meal consider a weeknight reservation.
Portions vary by dish, but many guests find the rotisserie items generous. The Duck Feast and whole/rotisserie duck are noted as plentiful, often enough for two to share or more with sides to take home. Some plates (notably certain seasonal entrees like black cod or a few brunch items) have been described as smaller. If you’re sharing, the Duck Feast is good value; for individual mains, expect restaurant-style portions that pair well with sides.
The Duck & The Peach serves weekend brunch and weekday/weekend dinner with a bar. Brunch: Sat–Sun 9:00 AM–2:30 PM. Dinner: Tue–Thu 5:00 PM–10:00 PM; Fri–Sat 5:00 PM–10:30 PM. Bar: Fri–Sat 5:00 PM–10:30 PM. There’s a Happy Hour Tue–Sat 5:00 PM–6:00 PM. If you need exact holiday hours or special events, call ahead.
Yes, many guests report the team makes accommodations for seating needs and families. Parties have been seated with extra space, armchairs or room for walkers and strollers; staff often help arrange seating for groups. That said, a few guests had mixed experiences around stroller handling, so it’s wise to call ahead and request accessible or family-friendly seating to ensure your preferred setup.
For a lively vibe, weekends (brunch and Fri/Sat dinner) are ideal, expect a bustling atmosphere and full service. If you prefer a quieter, more intimate meal, try weeknights (Tue–Thu) or an early dinner seat. For brunch on a pleasant day, guests report enjoying outdoor seating. Reservations are recommended for busy times or special occasions.
The restaurant offers bar seating (the full menu is available at the bar), a spacious dining room with tables spread for comfortable conversation, and the restaurant can host private parties. Guests often comment on the airy layout and well-spaced tables; staff will also accommodate seating needs for larger groups or special requests.
Warm, modern and welcoming, a fine-dining yet approachable neighborhood spot. Guests describe a bright, airy space with soft lighting, good table spacing for conversation, and friendly staff. On busy nights it can get lively and a bit noisy, while weekday or early dining is quieter and more intimate. Overall the restaurant balances special-occasion polish with a relaxed, convivial vibe.
Business casual. The restaurant describes itself as fine dining but approachable, and guests commonly dress smart-casual for dinner and brunch. If you’re celebrating a special occasion, smart attire fits the setting; for casual brunch visits, neat weekend wear is perfectly appropriate.
Yes, guests commonly request seating for accessibility, extra space for strollers/walkers, and accommodations for dietary restrictions. The staff is frequently praised for helping with substitutions and special requests, though a few guests advise calling ahead to confirm. For large parties or private events, reach out in advance so the team can prepare.
Busiest: weekend brunch and Friday–Saturday dinner, guests often describe a lively, full dining room. Quietest: weekday evenings (Tue–Thu) and early service times tend to be calmer and better for a quieter meal. If you prefer lower noise and faster pacing, book a weeknight or an early dinner slot.
It depends on your goal: for a special, celebratory evening with a lively atmosphere, Friday or Saturday is ideal. For a quieter, more intimate meal or efficient service, choose a weeknight (Tue–Thu). Weekend brunch is also popular and pleasant, especially on nice days when outdoor seating is available.
