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.

Executive chef: Katarina Petonito

    An absolutely wonderful dining experience! The service was warm and attentive, the atmosphere lively and unpretentious and the food! Oh the food. The luscious trumpet mushrooms, the incredibly fluffy pumpernickel bread, and that duck…just wow. Terrific night for our party of six.

    This is an amazing restaurant, food is world class, and service was excellent. If you are making this a first date, make sure your date likes duck first if you plan to order it for the table! The duck was the best that we’ve ever had, they do offer a variety of meats. 10/10. Best duck in D.C. and for the price, very high quality place. Note: They accept Apple Pay!

    Absolutely wonderful menu, fantastic service and delicious food prepared perfectly. Four of us sat outside on a very nice table near the street fountain. We shared the Duck Feast and the 36oz steak, and all was absolutely a delight. Also had a nice bottle of bubbly to start, and a medium red for dinner… topped with two incredible desserts to share. Do not hesitate, we will be savoring this for years to come.

    We have been to restaurant in the past. There is parking right there, but there is a parking lot 1 block away and street parking is available. The entrance sign is covered with vines, so it might be a little hard to spot for a first timer. The ambience is great and the service is excellent. The menu is seasonal, so it is limited, but adequate for most. Whatever you choose to order, it will be very good to excellent. It certainly is expensive as our dinner for three was north of $400, with two glasses of mostly priced wine. That being understood, you are in DC and overhead is costly. Try the pumpernickel bread as an appetizer. You won't be disappointed.

    Was expecting overall to have a better experience. Server was not super engaged and very minimal information provided given it was our first time there. Trumpet mushrooms were super tough. Duck was decent but nothing to write home about. Overlap under impressed for the price and won’t be coming back.

    We enjoyed our meal and our experience. The restaurant was located nearby our hotel and was easy to find. The food was amazing but the service was second to none. I'd go there again in a heartbeat.

FAQs

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.

Yes, The Duck & The Peach hosts private parties and can accommodate group events. Guests have held larger celebrations and praised the team for attentive service during private gatherings. Contact the restaurant directly to discuss group menus, space options and booking details.

Yes, guests report getting outdoor tables for weekend brunch on pleasant days. Outdoor seating appears popular for brunch service, so reserve ahead if you’d like to sit outside. Availability can vary by weather and peak times.
