I celebrated my 60th birthday here in 2021, and after my experience in 2020 when I had just moved from Melbourne and arrived on December 8th, I found this year’s experience disappointing in comparison. On the bright side, the restaurant was quiet with few patrons, and the weather was cool and breezy, although that meant we couldn’t enjoy the deck.
The staff were friendly, but I had hoped for a bit more enthusiasm for my milestone birthday—perhaps a sparkler on my dessert would have added a nice touch to the customer service. Even a simple strawberry to accompany the sparkling wine would have made a difference.
On a positive note, I truly enjoyed my lobster cooked in garlic and butter, tho...
What a wonderful evening! It was my partner’s birthday, so I wanted something special and we certainly weren’t disappointed! I had the barramundi and my partner had the seafood/vermicelli. My fish was cooked perfectly and so was the prawn/vermicelli dish. The service was friendly and efficient and our table overlooked the ocean and was perfect. The sticky date pudding was really nice and rounded off our meal nicely. Best service I’ve had for a while and lovely friendly people. Will definitely go again and would recommend for a special evening out.
I booked a table for my husband and I to celebrate his 60th birthday at The Blue Duck and we were greeted pleasantly before being seated at a lovely table outside overlooking the beautiful Cottesloe beach. Our food was very prompt in arriving as well as delicious, my husband enjoyed a glass of champagne with his breakfast and we enjoyed it all so much we decided to order extra drinks so we could sit in the sunshine a bit longer.
The food was excellent, but the service from one specific server was lacking. There was a long wait for the juices, although I do appreciate that they are freshly made. The coffee had a good flavor, but the milk wasn't hot enough, resulting in a lukewarm drink. There's definitely room for enhancement.

Lovely setting unfortunately accoustically very noisey regardless of the building work still going on. Waiters very attentive. Menu exstentsive. Seafood board should be changed up a bit to not just have fried fish varieties and include some chips. Overall a good experience
We were excited to visit for the iconic Blue Duck experience, but instead we found a modern space that felt empty and noisy. The service was average, and while the food was decent, it felt overpriced. I wouldn’t recommend it, and I'm unsure if we’ll return any time soon.
Food was delicious but not good value for money. Service was acceptable but not exceptional. Dated and neglected interior. Can certainly use a fresh coat of paint and some new tables and chairs.
Good food in a beautiful location. The waitresses were helpful and pleasant and the prices were reasonable.
