One of the most unique dining experiences I’ve ever had! The restaurant itself is cozy and inviting , and not stuffy as one might expect from a restaurant with a Michelin mention. The staff is warm , friendly and extremely knowledgeable about their menu and wines. They recommended we order four dishes for 2 people, we got the leeks, potatoes, crab and shrimp and mushrooms. All of them were fresh and wonderful with some unexpected twists. I was especially impressed with the wine selections, and our server did an amazing job of pairing our dishes with wines I would have never ordered or heard of! Thank you Odd Duck for an unexpected magical evening of food and wine!

I want to start off by saying I'm rooting for the Odd Duck, which recently was recognized by the Michelin guide (and well deserved)! My four star rating is just that I think they're really good, but they could be great. The staff is wonderful, both personable and knowledgable about the menu and ready to ask questions if they don't know the answers. The restaurant itself is charming too - you have a small store at the front and then pass by an open kitchen before being seated in a comfortable dining area. I was with a group of 4: my husband, and then another couple he's friends with that I was meeting for the first time. We were told that we should consider 2 dishes per person, and 6-8 for a group like ours with the intention of sharing. I love the chance to get to try many different things, so sharing seemed like the way to go. With that said, some of these dishes were much more challenging to share than others. We got the fried oyster mushrooms (easy to share), eggplant (easy), leek (difficult), roots (medium), duck (medium), crab & shrimp (hard), and mushroom main (easy). To this point, I would suggest going as a couple or with a friend you're quite comfortable with as the dishes feel easiest shared between 2 and not as large of a group. Minor, I know, but still worth mentioning. The food itself was delicious. Stand outs to me were their mushroom dishes (both fried and the main), crab & shrimp, and caramel apple dessert. I loved these for being incredibly thoughtful dishes, wherein the star of the dish was never minimized, and other elements brought in textural surprises or nuanced tastes to compliment what was being featured. The only thing we had that I felt was a miss was the seasonal pumpkin dessert, and for having had 9 dishes with only 1 being a bit lackluster means to me that Odd Duck has 5 star potential! The things that brought this to a four were the pacing, cutlery, and challenges sharing after it had been suggested we do so. With so many plates, I acknowledge the challenge but sometimes it felt like we were waiting quite a bit of time for the next bite of food. While the staff was attentive and refreshed our plates and silverware multiple times, there were a few dishes (leeks, and duck come to mind) that I wish we would have had a sharper knife. Knowing that we planned to share everything, I also wish that we'd been armed with that sharper knife to help divvy everything up accordingly. With that said, I would absolutely return to the Odd Duck. I love that they use fresh, seasonal ingredients and do a great job with them. I hope that when I return some of the things that made them a four have been easily remedied and the experience is a true five stars!

A really wonderful experience. The staff were all so knowledgeable and attendant. We selected six different dishes to share and everything came out promptly and tasted great. Lots of interesting flavour combinations and excellent wine pairings.

Best restaurant in KW hands down! Have had the pleasure of visiting a couple of times now and always 5 stars. The food is made with such care, and attention to detail, everything is just perfect. In my last visit we were a group of six, and we ordered 11 dishes, plus individual oysters- it was a good amount of food for our group, everyone was extremely happy - and considering the quality of the food served, the price is very fair. You are paying for the quality of ingredients and creativity of the dishes. The service is amazing, everyone is extremely nice and professional.
