Reservations didn't work – I made reservations for 9:00 and we were seated at 10:20 or so. They did give us a couple of free appetizer's but not until I went to them and asked them what the problem was. The food was ok. I will not go back there based on my experience. There were 7 of us and I felt quilty that I suggested the place based on previous ratings.

mmmmmmm dumplings – I can't say enough about the D&D. Visually you are greeted with wall panels and a deep bar of beautiful cherry. The lucky color red is reflected in the lights and behind flowing fabric panels concealing the rough stylings of the ceiling. A low wall topped off with glass partitions helps separate the dinging area and the bar area. And then there's the food. The pork and shrimp dumplings were succulent, the vegetarian spring rolls were snacktastic, the filet chinois in a garlic sauce was tender and tasty, a... read more

Watch this place take off! – The warm red hues and cool urban interiors are delightful. The Asian Fusion is high on quality presentation and nutrition. Then there's the service: quick and efficient. We asked for sauce to jazz up the house fried rice and the staff kept bringing us sauces until we had every sauce in the house!

Disregard any negatives. – It's simple, new restaurants aren't perfect and need time to get to where they want to be and anyone who can't see that is only trying to destroy small business, like the review below mine. I went in for lunch yesterday and was very please. The prices are fair, if not somewhat inexpensive, service was fine, the restaurant is very cool and hip. I recommend it, you will have a good time and enjoy your food.

Four Fabulous Courses!! – From the half fried dumplings to the filet to the green tea icecream--everything was heavenly. We felt very taken care without feeling smothered, even with the chef himself making two appearances at our table. The wine suggestion was right on the money and while the portions were plentiful, none of the four courses we enjoyed were overwhelming. I thought the kung-pao shrimp was perfect as my main dish, but closely followed by the duck and the filet. The best part about the ambiance, I believe, was t... read more

Don't be fooled by the hype... – The restaurant looks beautiful, food is perfectly presented...and then it all fails. The service SUCKS...big time, and the food is such a let down. The owner should go back to the type of food he was preparing when he was in Cameron Village. It's got all the potential...trendy...good seating...but the food needs to be improved before I'll go back.

Needed atmosphere in downtown Raleigh – The Duck and Dumpling is a class act restaurant with a huge touch of NYC chic that goes down to the menu design of corrugated cardboard and mylar. The ambiance couldn't have been better, from the soft jazz floating into your ears to the view of the square in downtown Raleigh through the large street side windows, very nice. The food was exquisite (Moo Shoo Duck!!) all combining very unique combinations to tantalize the senses, the presentation was very aesthetically pleasing, and the m... read more
