Classic Italian in all ways. Our waiter guided us with the menu and was wonderful. We had the homemade pasta: the special lobster tagliatelle for me, pappardelle for hubby who substituted the chicken for walleye. The handmade pasta tasted just like my late mother’s. You can request the hand made pasta with other dishes if you wish. You should NOT pass it up. The walleye was a don’t miss also. Lobster was very tender and plentiful. Just a great experience.

We had a wonderful meal. Ruths Chris is our favorite steak chain. We were promptly seated at a nice full sized booth. Service was very good. The cocktail were excellent. We had a seafood tower which was excellent and split a t-bone. The steak was very tasty, but overcooked from our requested Medium rare. However, we didn't reorder it, as the kitchen was getting backed up and we didn't feel it was worth the added wait. An expensive meal, but we highly recommend the restaurant. A great addition to Rochester.

Perfect dining experience for Valentine’s Day! Hot Rock Grilling was great first experience, the food & value were excellent. Carrot cake & chocolate cake were some of the best! 2 people, Hit Rock Grilling at the table Combo meal, x2 desserts and x2 drinks under $100. We will absolutely be back to duplicate our experience!

Great food and easy access when going to Mayo Clinic for care

Our second visit to Bleu Duck. As before, very friendly and polished professional service. We had appetizers as small plates this time. The meatballs, potato skins, mussels, and especially the crab cake were delicious. The Rose Frost cocktail was wonderful and the old fashioned was sublime. The Rieseling was a.perfect accompaniment for my seafood. The sherry with dessert was luscious. Pricey, but another wonderful visit. We will return.
