American Cooking Around a Wood Burning Molteni Oven
Settle into dinner at Blue Duck Tavern after half past five, with the open kitchen in view.
🔥 Follow the Open Kitchen
Turn a late afternoon pause into an early dinner at Blue Duck Tavern, inside the Park Hyatt at 1201 24th St NW. The room looks into an open kitchen, where seasonal American cooking revolves around a custom wood burning Molteni oven. That view gives you something to follow between conversations, with the culinary team at work in front of the dining room.
Dinner runs daily from half past five PM until 10 PM. Make the late afternoon your own, then settle at the table when the evening service begins. The cooking draws on classic American recipes, while a floor to ceiling wine cellar supplies the bottles.
In fair weather, the terrace adds an outdoor option to the meal. Outdoor tables cannot be reserved, and the dress code is smart casual. Keep those two details in mind before heading over, then leave the rest of the evening unhurried.
