 Blue Duck Tavern’s kitchen takes on American farmland fare with a zeal that epicures will appreciate. Note that the menu, now under the direction of Sebastien Archambault, undergoes seasonal changes, so your best-loved salad or side dish in July may be gone in October. The waitstaff explains it all, but you can order family-style --- everything is à la carte and can be ordered to share --- and indulge with such entrées as the slow-braised beef short ribs, so tender that they fall apart with a fork. Even better is the roasted Prime bone-in rib-eye steak, slated for two. Then order the heirloom tomato, basil and goat cheese salad to start, or ask for it with the entrée, a good fit with meat or seafood. The pea soup with a poached egg, or the smoked and cured country pork terrine also merit consideration as appetizers, but saving room for the pastry chef’s desserts makes sense: apple pie, rhubarb and strawberry crumble. Wine aficionados will appreciate the extensive wine list, created with an eye to pleasing a very wide audience. It’s comprised of two lists, the first one of all-American labels priced from $28 to $200 and chosen to work within the tavern concept. The second list is far more comprehensive, with wines arranged by country and by price, with a $350 bottle meriting the biggest price tag. Also inquire about the exotic teas, as featured in their tea room.
