"Kevin Hickey, chef-owner, is a neighborhood native done good, returning to his haunts at this homey-yet-luxe “gastrotavern” that feels at turns personal and superlative. The Duck Inn is named after Hickey’s great-grandmother’s Depression-era restaurant, once located not far from the tavern’s present location—and the food is a nod to that history. Depending on your dining style, opt for the Ultimate Duck Experience, a five-course tasting featuring tableside preparation (along with a tableside dessert and cocktail presentation), or spring for several upscale comforts a la carte." - Nicole Schnitzler, Brad Japhe
