The staff were very friendly, the drinks were great, the food was delicious. I had the Crispy Pork Belly and it was so good, it was beautifully crispy and probably the best I've ever had, not too fatty and perfectly marbled and the couscous and veg that accompanied was was so good, my husband had the daily special which was fish with linguine and he really enjoyed it. We had starters (not pictured) these were small and pretty expensive but tasty. The mains were bigger than expected I would say. The puddings were also very generous in size and very sweet. I would recommend this place and would go back for sure!

We had a table booked for 5 for a birthday, we didn't have to wait to be seated as the table was free. Staff made a birthday very special by putting a birthday card on the table signed by all of the staff whoch was such a lovely touch. The food was absolutely incredible and the cocktails were superb. I want to thank every member of staff for being so incredibly kind and orofessional. The duck is very much recommended. Thank you 😊 💜

Had an amazing evening out for my wife's birthday.
The atmosphere was great and the staff were so welcoming, polite and friendly.
The food was second to none, every bite was pure bliss, haven't had a meal nearly as amazing in many years!
The attention to detail was very much appreciated and we can't wait to return!
Most definitely the best place to eat on the island!

Absolute wonderful evening. Staff are very friendly and efficient.
The decor is very sleek and modern which makes for a lovely eating experience!
The food was delicious I couldn't fault any of the dishes we had. Additionally the price was excellent for the quality of the food!
Overall I had a lovely time and would definitely come again!

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch celebrating my friend's birthday. The dishes were well presented and very tasty, hence only one photo of the food, the atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxed, the wait staff was competent and warm and the cocktails we had went down a treat. Reservations are a must.

Very happy with our decision to visit, we could not get a dinner booking so visited for lunch. I don’t think the lunch menu is different, i had wanted something lighter for lunch, but was absolutely full after the mains.
The sea bass was fried to perfection and the gnocchi was nice but I would have happily have less of them.
The desserts were fantastic too, especially the vegan option for my partner, which looked amazing.
Would love to return to try other dishes!

Had an amazing Sunday lunch at The Duck yesterday. The focaccia and various butters as sharing nibbles was a fantastic intro. A great selection of starters, roast beef cooked to perfection and topped off by an incredible chocolate dessert. Staff were very attentive and friendly and food was excellent. Would highly recommend.

Spent another birthday meal here and have to say it was probably better than last time. Food was amazing and absolutely worth the trip from the West Wight. Lovely atmosphere and layout of the restaurant, staff were friendly, an all round fab experience and I would highly recommend trying The Duck.

Stunning menu, I had the steak and it was cooked to perfection (and I usually find rump to have a thick line of fat in it, this was pure meat!) the cocktails were very pretty and tasty, the restaurant was very clean, beautifully decorated and well laid out. And the staff were lovely. Very clever that they change their menu every 6 weeks (my only disappointment is that there was no delicious mushroom sauce with the steak this time BUT what it came with was just as lovely!) Took my best friend who in 14 years of friendship has never finished a meal out, she cleared her plate! Very fast becoming my favourite place to eat �

So good!! Bit of a wait but the restaurant was full so totally understandable.
Absolutely perfect food. Cannot fault it at all.
The service was fab. Really attentive and friendly staff. My new fave restaurant on the island....plus its only 10 mins from my house!

The Duck had come highly recommended to us by friends , so on visiting the Island to see family we decided to celebrate our 1st Wedding Anniversary there . We were not disappointed, what an amazing meal we had last night , the surroundings and customer service were spot on . The food was so beautifully presented and will go down as one of the best meals we have had out . We will definitely be returning ...perfect �

The Duck recently hosted an afternoon tea for a hen Do group I was involved in organising. From the very first contact, to on the day, Helen could not be more helpful. We had the top room to ourselves and it was perfect (with beautiful views!) great venue, great tea. Thanks very much Helen x

The best dining experience I've ever had. If you want to have a posh dinner , all freshly made then this is the place for you! Everything was perfect: modern, light venue, friendly staff, and delicious food. Will we be back? Most certainly!

Visited the Duck on Saturday evening, 7 in our group all first time & with great expectations as we had heard great reviews. Lovely place, spotlessly clean & nice friendly staff. Sadly three roasted lamb meals were ruined by raw in the middle, apologies from the chef & a free drink were offered! Rest of meals were good, hasn't put us off going again, but obviously needs to be checked in future. Appreciate some people's preference is pink with lamb, but this was red raw!🙁

Held my late husbands wake at The Duck, as this was our favourite restaurant.
From the first contact with Charlie and Helen to go through the menu with them it was carried out with great professional service everything was first class as always.
Thank you both and your staff for a lovely wake

Do you know what we like about The Duck? On each and every visit the food and service has been good. This is what makes a good restaurant, forget that it is nicely located, is a comfortable restaurant to sit in....the restaurant is consistently good. So go for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner and you will know and trust that the most important elements are going to be good. That is hard to beat, and impossible in Ryde! Nothing else compares I’m afraid. And you can take your baby, your child, your 90 year old relative or your business colleague there and everyone is catered for which is rare on this little island. Well done everyone!
