Duck And Drake Kitchen

We usually have a good experience with Duck & Drake so hence 3*. But this time, not so much. Pizza was burnt. Tried to eat anyway but still have charred flavor in mouth. :(. Disappointing. Already home or would drive back & ask them to try again.

I was really excited to try "Duck and Drake" after I saw some reviews online about it. I live on the corner of "The Drake" which is their second store which I have been thinking about to trying soon. I love an origin story so I canceled my original plans and decided to go try "Duck and Drake". When I pulled up to the property, I saw a small food truck in the corner and at first I was like this is it? I contemplated leaving because I found it hard to believe that the quality of food I heard about came out of such a small truck. But I had already committed. I looked over the menu, They had some nice options and before I ordered, I wanted to look over where I would be sitting. The inside is very nice open in spacious comfortable seating mix variety of bar lounge, high top and patio. An array of wine bottles is throughout the inside with an additional private dining area, again arrayed with bottles of wine.I chose to sit outside since it was a beautiful day. I asked the kitchen for recommendations and got three of their items and one of my choosing. I got Wagyu sliders, crispy shrimp bao, truffle fries, and their pizza. I am saddened to say that nothing impressed me. I wouldn't rate anything over a 7. I also wasn't told that the wagyu sliders and shrimp Bao came with fires. If I had know I would have asked for a different side or skipped the truffle fries. My table looked like a mountain of potatoes. When I went back to the truck to see if they can give me another side, I stated they didn't let me know that everything came with fries. they suggested I just get another side and pay for it. Which I wasn't doing because everything I had was mid at best to me at this point. Everything was a decent portion size I just wasnt undone by the flavor. The wagyu sliders, taste like regular prime beef. Dijon mustard heavy. The Truffle fries were good. I just expected better based off what I've heard. The crispy shrimp Bao was probably my favorite I give that one a 7 if I ever join some friends there, I would order that. The pizza was crispy cheesy and spicy all the things that I like but the flavor profile just didn't work for me for some reason. I can see how some people would like this place. I just happen to enjoy really good food, and this just doesn't hit anywhere on my list. I personally wouldnt recommend to a friend who knows the type of food that I eat. My wife and I got boxes, packed it up and went somewhere else to eat. We gave our leftovers to a person in need on the way. Ambience 5/5 service 3/5 Food 3/5

Amazing 9 course dinner at the cellar! Highly recommend this artfully crafted and beautifully paired chefs table experience.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando. I like the food so much, I'm worried I might get sick of it, so I try to only go once a month at most. Situated in a food truck outside Digress Wine, they serve what I would describe as French-inspired Spanish tapas. You can sit inside the wine bar and order via their website directly to your table or you can order from the food truck itself and they'll bring it to you.A definite must is the Marinated Olives ($6), pitted green olives in an inventive citrus-y and spicy brine with capers, carrots and pearl onions along for the ride. It's so good I sometimes order 2 for the table. Another must is the Wagyu Beef Sliders ($17), two plump and juicy sliders, cooked perfectly, topped with a mushroom sauce and raclette cheese, served with French fries. It's so buttery and decadent- probably the best burger I've ever eaten. The fries are expertly cooked, extremely crispy and wonderfully seasoned.Their menu changes frequently and I always try something new here (steak frites, empanadillas, summer rillette, hummus). I'll be back many times this year (it's August, so 4 in fact) !

5 stars for absolutely delicious food and beautiful presentation. I finally stopped by Duck & Drake after passing them MANY times and being intrigued by all the wonderful smells coming from such a small food truck. My friend and I ordered several items and all of them were fantastic! When we ordered, the staff let us know that they were a little behind so our food might take a while. We ordered, found a seat in Digress' outdoor garden area, and expected to wait about 20 minutes. Either the time flew by or our food was out much faster than that, because the wait seemed on par with any other restaurant. As each plate was set on the table, we took a minute just appreciate how pretty it was before diving in. We got the chili fries (thick sliced potatoes with a chili sauce and cheese), braised rib (the MOST tender beef in a complex sauce with a hint of... cinnamon? I'm not sure), wagyu sliders (so much yes...) and the tapas for two (rice croquettes, meatballs, and an assortment of other items, all delicious!) I can't wait to go back!

Incredible food! Family operated. Ingredients are locally sourced and everything is homemade - sauces, bread, chips, etc. Menu changes based on what's available locally and in season, but fan favorites usually remain. The Braised Short Rib with Risotto never misses. Save room for dessert!
