Deliciously balanced preparations and well presented plates. Staff was attentive. Enjoyed the recommended cocktails and wine paired with our meal. Roasted Baby Carrot Salad, Scallops, and Sturgeon. Highly recommend!

Food was outstanding! All of the items were very fresh down to the bread to start (which was fantastic) at our table we got a salmon, duck, steak, lamb, and pork dish and they all had different side pairing and all were cooked to perfection!!! Cocktails were also very good. Would highly recommend Duck Soup. We did come with our two kids 10 and 13 but they are good eaters. If you kids are not and order or want to order butter pasta and or grilled cheese every time I would consider leaving them at home or looking long and hard at the menu!

Lovely place with such beautiful and delicious food! I went here with my parents and niece and we had a great night. The presentation was incredible. The samosas were to die for. I also loved my scallops. The drink had a raspberry pucker right from the bushes behind us. Highly recommend. Duck and pork in photos as well.

5 stars for the creativity! We enjoyed the calamari appetizer - good flavor with kimchi, although the panko was a bit overfried and was tough to chew. The black cod was super tender - almost melts in the mouth; the other ingredients in the dish also pleasantly surprised us - shiitake mushroom, glass noddles, etc. the duck bread was very juicy and flavorful as well. Would love to come back again to try out other seasonal menus!

Read a couple of the negative reviews and I have no idea what they’re talking about. We came here on a whim and honestly just for the clams that we saw on a google review pic. We never expected the place to look this amazing. The lighting, the ambience, the fire place we were seated directly in front of. Amazing. Service was impeccable and beyond polite. The food was incredible. We both ordered the filet mignon which was easily 10 ounces and perfectly cooked. Honestly one of the best filets that I’ve had. It came with potatoes and a broccoli. For the price—fantastic. We had a bottle of wine as well which paired great. My only slight complaint is there could be some more local options for wines. We would absolutely come here again. Especially in the summer so we could enjoy the outside fire pits. Highly recommend this “out of place” fine dining experience.

San Juan Island is our special place/beloved vacation spot. Whenever we visit San Juan, a dinner at Duck Soup is one of the highlights of our visit. Set in a beautiful, indoor/outdoor, laid-back building (on a pond with ducks)... everything about Duck Soup is delightful. Their signature martinis are a must. Their seasonal menu is exceptional & has me coming back, year after year.

Food, service, atmosphere everything was perfect. One of the best dining experiences in the state. The restaurant has a close to forest feel and is set up beautifully. We were seated by the door to the outdoor area and had spiders close to us. Thankfully they were not interested in us or our food. Tables in the main dining space would have been better.

As a food reviewer of Res Menu, I delight in sharing my impressions of places shaping the culinary landscape. Duck Soup stands out for its commitment to fresh, seasonal ingredients and innovative dishes.
