Duck Duck Goose Dupont Circle

It was my first time coming to the duck duck goose best restaurant in DC. I loved it the quality of the food the service the drink it was amazing. Will be back soon.

After a meal, many restaurants leave me feeling noticeably poorer. I actually walked out of this one feeling rather wealthy...!I happened upon this spot during an inadvertent tour of Dupont Circle; I was looking for a bagel shop across the street from my hotel and ended up with my head turned around, but I found Duck Duck Goose on the return trip.From the outside, it looked inviting enough, and any photos you find online are bound to be accurate, but lacking in the sublime goodness of being there in person for obvious reasons.After examining the exterior (and what I could see of the interior), I scanned menu stationed outside, set up a reservation online on Resy and at 6pm that evening we were greeted by a welcoming and very competent mature gentleman who offered some great guidance on meal choices, as he led us to our seats.After taking in the floral decor at the entrance and the clearly audible, but tastefully subdued music, we sat down at our table and began to sample their burgundy escargot (in the shell) and their rather savory french onion soup. The rest of our party joined us for our double date, but I 'd be lying if I said I remembered what they had; outside of the surprisingly tasty broccolini appetizer, as my face was buried in the soup.The wife enjoyed a branzino special our server suggested, and I enjoyed their duck breast pithivier. We washed it all down with a tasty riesling they offered and some Saratoga sparkling water.Nearly three hours in, I really wasn 't ready to depart, but a short stroll would get our metabolisms going again, so the wife and I ordered their bread pudding (very tasty) and a chocolate tart (not too sweet and even tastier) before we said our farewells.Two days later, we had to go back to the restaurant one last time before leaving the area to indulge in those desserts again and the manager; a rather sharply dressed gentlemen, greeted us warmly after recognizing us from the night before.He asked for our feedback, and I 'm gonna tell you like I told him: "The place is sublime, and only someone looking to nitpick could find much to criticize. "And I stand on that....

Such an amazing French meal in the DuPont Circle area! Inside of the restaurant was very upscale but hip. Very busy in a good way! Service was great throughout the entire meal. Two highlights of night (although everything was delicious) were the duck fat fries and the duck confit (their specialty)!! The duck just fell off the bone and was perfect moist and flavorful. The fires were probably the best I have had in a while. Lastly, the croissant bread pudding was a perfect way to end of the meal! Would definitely recommend coming here for dinner.

Service was outstanding. The food is too pretentious and under delivered, except for the desserts that are absolutely delicious. Portions are small and we got charged for a substitution because we don’t eat garlic, not something a good restaurant usually do. We didn’t try the hamburger but I have to admit that it looked really good. Maybe next time?

Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and made a wonderful suggestion when 1 of the appetizers we ordered were not available!! The restaurant had a fun vibe while still having a romantic atmosphere. The staff was very attentive to our needs and requests.
