I went to Duck & Waffle with my team from work, 5 of us had a table book for 4pm (although I'm told this place is open 24/7). The first thing that catches your attention, especially if your not keen of heights, is the ascent to the 40th floor via the super-rapido glass elevator. wow

Being seated at a big round table the place feels relaxed and informal with people sharing plates of food and big dishes. This is also reflected in the menu which takes a little getting used to. Forget about any formal 3 course meal with people having there own dishes - generally you order for the table & everyone digs. This was initially a concern for one of our party who was particularly hungry, but the staff were friendly & helped explain things.

We were there just before Christmas & the place was fully booked with large parties. That said the service still seemed reasonable, yes they were busy but we we're forgotten about after we order & the food arrived quickly. The only negative was that I completely stuff afterward, I'd completely over eaten & should not have gone for the dessert. My fault, but it wasn't help by the fact that all the dishes were so rich - be it the ox cheek doughnut or the maple syrup poured of duck legs & waffle - this is pig out food.

Great for the glass elevator ride up to the 40th floor, fab views of the city, lively atmosphere, the sommelier (if you like your wine) & very rich super tasty, everyone shares whats on the table food.
