World Class Chef, Staff and Food!!

I stopped in last year to Duck City Bistro after a recommendation from a business colleague. The main purpose that I went is that I was looking for a local place to possibly host a business dinner. Duck City Bistro is now a personal favourite restaurant. On my visit I walked into Duck City with no reservation. I got lucky as they had a place at the bar where I could sit. I was warmly greeted by the head Chef, and he took the time to go over some of his featured dishes. The Chef asked me if I liked Spicy food, and helped me order my meal. The bartender was a very knowledgeable fellow and helped me select a wine. That Night I started with one of my favourites, Matzo Ball soup. As I have lived in a Jewish area of Toronto for years and have many Jewish friends and family, I could not pass this opportunity up. The Soup was fantastic, It had a real depth of flavour, the soup base was not too salty or overwhelming. The Matzo Balls had a great flavour to them as well. This is a great starter!! My Main dish was a Cajun Style Beef and Shrimp dish on a bed of rice. Yes it was spicy, Cajun spicy but the spice did not take away from the flavours of the meat or the shrimp. It was a feature that night so it may possibly be a one off. The interior has very nice ambiance and elegance to it, though dimly lit, it still has just enough light to be able to see and read the menu. This is a great little spot in Downtown Davenport and I will be back next time I'm in town.
