Blue Duck Tavern

Editorial Review

Wood burning oven puts everyone's face in a good light, makes dull jewelry sparkle. Open kitchen humanizes corporate Park Hyatt home. Local means a pick of the farmers markets and pleasantly seasonal. Chesapeake ambiance and Appalachian goodness served with fine French flare: fries fried in duck fat and the kind of apple pie that Martha Washington used to bake. Serious work gets done at lunch and dinner. Do you recognize the back of your congressman's head?
