Our Chef’s take inspiration from Billy Madison who drew a blue duck because he had never seen one before, and he wanted to see a blue duck! Well, since our chefs love classic Adam Sandler humor and innovative cooking, we thought that Bleu Duck was the perfect name to showcase our fun environment and staff as well as our unique and creative menu. Just like Billy, we like to try things that you’ve never seen before!

Bleu Duck Kitchen and Oyster Bar is a full service restaurant that provides a fun and welcoming atmosphere where white linens meet a casual feel to create the new concept of “fun-dining”. Co-Owners Erik Kleven and Jennifer Lester regard each customer as a welcomed friend, and aim to provide them with an experience that is both personal and unique every time they visit.

Our second visit to Bleu Duck. As before, very friendly and polished professional service. We had appetizers as small plates this time. The meatballs, potato skins, mussels, and especially the crab cake were delicious. The Rose Frost cocktail was wonderful and the old fashioned was sublime. The Rieseling was a.perfect accompaniment for my seafood. The sherry with dessert was luscious. Pricey, but another wonderful visit. We will return.

We read an article about Bleu Duck in the Minnesota Star Tribune. Since we had to spend a night in Rochester, we made a reservation. Great experience! Highly recommended.

Perhaps the best restaurant in Rochester. A bit pricey but the food is good and well prepared. The rolls are Hawaiian rolls that can be purchased at a grocery store, not what one expect from this type of restaurant. The wine list is abysmal. It really needs to be upgraded. Food was very good, well prepared. We had the steelhead and halibut. Both were moist, not overcooked.

Every meat was way overcooked. Service was fine but nothing more than taking orders and bringing food. Value not there given they charge big city prices without big city flavor nor service.

A very nice night in comfortable, pleasant surroundings. Delicious foods - the uniquely prepared stuffed delicata squash and very flavorful and tender fried clams were highlights, along with excellent, fresh, delicious oysters. The only place in MN I've found Island Creeks from Duxbury MA, which are simply extraordinary Our server was attentive, personable and upbeat. Easy to park in the immediate vicinity, as street meters are free after 5pm. We will definitely be back for more.

The waitstaff was very good with their service. The manager was very understanding with my displeasure over my dinner. He understood my concerns with what they were presenting. My husband’s dish of duck was very good. My dish was supposed to be fried clams and it was not up to my expectations. I am from New England and was anticipating having the experience that was advertised on their special menu of fried clams from Maine. What was served was not authentic fried clams. It was chopped up clams and real fried clams are whole and you have the experience of biting into the briny taste.
