All five of us had exceptional meals, and at times we were so focused on the food that the table went pleasantly quiet, always a good sign. The cocktails were outstanding, especially the margaritas were absolutely delicious, and the mussels in Thai sauce were a particular highlight and one of the best meals we had during our stay.
A special mention to the owners for their kindness at the end of the evening, it made an already wonderful night even more memorable.
Fantastic food, great atmosphere, and friendly, attentive service throughout. We would definitely go back again and would highly recommend the Muddy Duck to anyone visiting Jersey.
The steak was cooked perfectly and other dishes were delicious!
Front of house staff are so nice!
A must visit!
I personally recommend the crab & lobster bisque. If you get the whole crab for your main course, be prepared to stay for a while, as it is absolutely massive (and reasonably priced given its size). They give you a bib to protect your front while you eat it, and seeing the staff put it on our friend who chose it was hilarious!
