Enjoy our Midtown Manhattan restaurant

With the atmosphere of a 19th century New York City eatery, the Black Duck’s warm ambiance is a product of the cozy working fireplace, alabaster bar, live music, Sunday night James Bond movies, hardwood floors and French doors opening to outdoor seating.

Only the freshest and finest ingredients are used at the Black Duck. Chef Hector Tice honed his skills and shaped his passion for preparing food while working as a cook in some of New York City's busiest fine dining restaurants such as Tribeca Grill, Layla, and Icon. Chef Tice’s signature dishes include the Black Duck Surf and Turf with sesame crusted wasabi tuna and espresso rubbed filet mignon; roasted East Coast halibut with sweet corn risotto, sautéed spinach, and orange beurre blanc; seared sea scallops with sautéed black grapes, toasted almonds, shallots, and port wine reduction.

The restaurant serves breakfast and dinner, and is open seven days a week. A live jazz band entertains on weekends.

The Black Duck was a rum-running boat involved in a notorious incident in 1929.  The vessel was smuggling "hooch" off the coast of Newport, Rhode Island, when it was engaged by a Coast Guard patrol.  A number of the Black Duck’s crewwere killed and the incident caused a public outcry. The resulting congressional hearings helped bring prohibition to a close in 1933.  The main restaurant dining room commemorates naval history with a collection of original artworks depicting famous warships and their battles.
