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.

    Twigs is always a fantastic experience, especially being a sensitive celiac! The holiday special peppermint cheesecake was amazing! This is a must eat at restaurant whenever we come to Mayo.

    Great food and impeccable service. Our drinks were taking a little long and the server, without us saying a word, comped our drinks. The steak was cooked perfectly. The tuna tartar was the best I’ve had. Very good sablefish. The focaccia bread was homemad and “chef’s kiss”. Cocktails were delicious. Will be back!
