WOW! Is all I can say and that's not just for the amazing food but for the service and how the place is run. To say they care about their food and their business is an understatement. We got there about 5:30 on a Saturday and the place was busy but not a wait. We were seated on the covered side patio next to a table of 20 rambunctious bachelorette party goers that chanted and clapped to several rounds of "We Love You (insert name here)" and drunken toasts. The hostess and our server Stephen assured us that they would be leaving in 10 min. because they were on a pub crawl of sorts and had a schedule to keep to. We got it and decided to stick it out. We understand that this restaurant is a business and big parties are their bread and butter 5:30 is a time where they transition between HH and the dinner crowd. However, the big rowdy didn't actually clear out until 30 min later. But to the restaurant's credit they didn't make the big party uncomfortable about leaving slowly and also kept checking with all the tables that were sat close to the big party, apologizing and saying that that things would quite down soon and even gave us a small plate on the house in addition to what we ordered for our patience. Once the ladies cleared out from the restaurant and on to their next destination, we started to receive our food and the party was just a distant memory (we did bond with our fellow diners around us and had a good laugh at the whole ordeal). Now, to the food. The Redfish ceviche was fresh and amazing, Pretzel (youm!...probably should have ordered two), Crab pimento also fresh and tasty, Nachos (a yummy surprise), Sunny duck egg, brown rice, and goat sausage bowl (don't get me wrong, this was GOOD but was over shadowed by everything else we ate), the Achiote marinated pork chop (OMG! Just order this. DO. IT. sooooooooo good!....seriously order it). We order apple cobbler and blue cheese a la mode for dessert but before we got that our server Stephen surprised us with the butter nut squash cake with butter scotch ice cream (as a consolation for putting up with the loud table earlier) and dear lord this was good! Again, the cobbler was tasty but do yourself a favor and get the butter nut squash cake. We will definitely be back. Thanks Stephen and the whole Odd Duck team:)
