I've been here a few time and it's consistently good. The menu is not the same copy and paste that you see at a lot of restaurants. Service is great. And I like that the front of the restaurant is all windows. Make for a nice and bright room. read more

Great food with beautifully plated. Relaxing atmosphere with enjoyable ambiance. Small menu but everything is top notch. Attentive service. read more

I was honestly losing hope for restaurants that made my tastebuds dance and then I walked into Duck Press. I would love to come back here the next time I am in RI because everything I tried was delightful. The menu is small but everything listed looked wonderful. They make their own pasta, which makes pasta taste that much better. The drinks were fall themed and tasted great. The dessert menu looked as though it would have been amazing but that will have to be saved for next time. The service was great and the space was cozy. Absolutely a place that should be checked out if you're in south county! read more

Last night was our 3rd visit to Duck Press. A little hiccup started the evening due to they wanted to have both my wife and I to order their Valentines price fixe menu, I wanted the the Valentines menu but problem was my wife could not eat much of it. I requested the manager/owner and after explaining he let us order what we wanted. Problem fixed! Food was top notch as always, our waiter was fantastic and best we have had. I would highly recommend Duck Press. To the person who rated this restaurant as 1 because of Uber Eats - you can't rate food quality when it relies on delivery. Like ordering crispy calamari to go and it steams in the container on the ride home, then turns soft. read more

Love this place for date night! My husband is French (aka extremely picky and discerning when it comes to food) and this is one of the only restaurants in the area we continue to come back to again and again. Great service -- we once showed up on a busy night without a reservation and they truly did everything to squeeze us in with only about a 10 minute wait. Our only request would be that they update their menu a bit more frequently. It's a very small one (which we LOVE), but when you go as often as we do, you run out of options somewhat quickly. Overall the best place for dinner in the area. read more

I love this place for date night. The moody lighting makes it feel very intimate. The cocktails are delicious, and the service is top notch. The homemade pasta is out of the world. The seasonal cauliflower is a repeat order. I also love their chips to start. They're very accommodating for someone who doesn't eat meat. read more

Duck Press - Chips, delish! - Wine Bars Near Me - South Kingstown, Rhode Island

Me and my mother were looking for a place to try while we went for our jazz festival adventure. The food was very delicious, I was impressed with how fresh the tomatoes are and the burrata as well. The clam chowder was one of the best I have ever had, it was very flavorful and delicious. The duck was very tender, I was impressed as I'm used to duck being dry & to top it off the gnocchi was phenomenal. The peach's sweetness with it was delightful and the brown butter with the pesto mixed so well with the gnocchi it was my favorite. The ice cream was very delicious as well and the chocolate mousse was me and my mom's favorite. Coffee was good, and the service was great, we received our food very quickly and the staff is very respectful. If we ever comeback to Rhode Island for the festival again this is the spot I will be going with all my other family members. Highly recommended. read more

Crowded but sat down and served quickly at bar. Knowledgeable staff. Bartender was on top of everything even with the crowd. Food was amazing. Dessert was insane. read more

Food was very good, as was the service. Regrettably we sat at the bar and the bar stools were some of the most uncomfortable chairs I have ever sat in. The back of the stool was perhaps at most 6" in height. Just awful support. read more

Long wait times without reservations are common but worth it. Service is great, menu selections are diverse and there are always great specials. read more

Sat at the bar and ordered s couple of special appetizers. Great service at the bar with good descriptions of the special small plates. When I heard that there was a rib special, I went for it because a waiter had told us that the chef or owner does his own barbecuing out back. Maybe it was an off night, but the spare rib special included four very salty and chewy ribs--think jerky--with hoisin sauce and excellent cole slaw. The ribs were either overcooked or repurposed from earlier in the week. The only moisture came from the hoisin. The pork belly and clam special was much better with a sizeable helping of broccoli rabe in a light creamy sauce--delicious. Service here is consistently excellent, the pastas & sauces are delicious, but I don't think I'll order the ribs here again without getting assurances from the waiter that they're juicy and falling off the bone. read more

We were in South County for Mother's Day and my mom didn't want to get a reservation ahead of time. We stumbled across this gem and everyone loved their meals. The server, Garret, was awesome! Super personable, hardworking, attentive, and on top of things. The meat in my ramen was the best meat I've ever had in a ramen dish. I feel like the meat is usually almost an afterthought, but not here. The cauliflower dish was perfect with the butternut squash hummus. We ate every last bite of the shaved brussel sprouts salad and the arugula, beat, and goat cheese salad. My dad got the scallop and shrimp tortellini. He thought the shrimp and scallops were going to be on top of the tortellini, but they were actually the tortellini filling. He said it was really good, but as a large man, he wished the dish was a little bigger. The atmosphere is clean, cute, and comfy. Overall, I'd say we lucked out by just happening on this place and getting in without a reservation. We will definitely be back this summer when we are in the area more frequently going to the beach! read more

My mom and I actually planned to go to another restaurant nearby, but was told it would be an almost 2 hour wait. We decided to try our luck down the block, and it was definitely fate intervening to set us up with an amazing meal! Everything was absolutely delicious, service was amazing, and the whole vibe of the place is just really nice and upscale cozy. We each had a pasta dish that was insane, and the Spiced Pear Martini and the Fig & Haze were two of the best cocktails I've ever had. We were too full for dessert but I'm definitely planning on coming back to try it! read more

Delicious food, attentive service and an atmosphere with great vibes! The french onion soup on special was to die for. Next time we are visiting, we will definitely be back! read more

The food was amazing. Quaint atmosphere. Very busy for the winter months so definitely make a reservation before you go. We will definitely go back. read more

Just can't beat this on a Weds night for dinner. I was alone last night, so ended up just me and 3 other women eating at the bar. Watching Stanley Tucci (in ITALY!) on the TV and not sports. Pasta dinner and glass of wine special for $30.00. It was the perfect solo lady's night out for dinner. Just happened in on a very rainy night and so enjoyed it! Great ambiance. Emily the bartender was lovely and attentive. read more

Duck Press - At the Bar, pasta with mussels, glass of Pino and Stanley Tucci in Italy. Heaven. - Wine Bars Near Me - South Kingstown, Rhode Island

After a ferry ride over and back to Block Island, our new hotel is in South Kingstown off of Tower Hill Road. Not knowing the area at all, we used our Google search to find a restaurant that we thought we'd enjoy. Duck Press was our choice. I checked on line to see when the earliest reservation would be available. 8:00 was the earliest even though it was only about 6:30 when I checked. Instead we thought we'd just show up and see what they might be able to do. We showed up around 7:00 pm, and within minutes were seated. Great! We ordered a drink and we're taken care by Jim who explained the menu plus a couple of specials. My wife had the oysters to start and I had the Brussels sprouts. Both were delicious. We each had the scallop carbonara pasta dish. It was truly excellent. Even though I was kind of full, I ordered one scoop of the maple ice cream. Not sure it was really maple, but it was very good. We were really impressed with this restaurant. Good environment. Great service. People enjoying themselves. We made a great choice! read more

Delicious duck confit arancini and incredible cocktails! The bartender, Erika, gave amazing service and is such a talented bartender! Highly recommend read more

It was the 2nd time I ate there. I was not impressed with the food. My 3 dinner companion also agreed with me. The service was good.

FANTASTIC! After being turned away at Purslane (they were having a private event) I spotted this place from across the street, read the menu, whispered f#%k yes and walked in. Beautiful old cafe style ambiance with dark wood and dim lighting. SUPER nice waitress that was patient, and gave great suggestions! All the drinks we ordered were perfect and I had the best clam chowder I've ever had (it had GNOCCHI!!) this is only the second restaurant I've ever been to that had grilled calamari (which was local, yay!) it was tender and I loved the char. The short rib was cooked perfectly and that elote style polenta... wow. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town! read more

Perfect place to have dinner before a show next door at the Contemporary Theater Company. Strongly suggest you make a reservation! The spiced pear martini was outstanding, and cold! I hate when bartenders are lazy with the cocktail shaker. I could hear the bartender from across the room giving it a good vigorous shake. Thank you! Husband said his clam chowder was fantastic and our oysters Rockefeller were some of the best we've ever had. A generous 6 oysters come with the order. Not at all heavy on cream and cheese and loaded with flavor. My black bass entree was so delicious. Two nice filets were perfectly seared and on a delicious potato purée with a few shelled mussels for even more flavor. The sauce was spectacular. We were too stuffed for dessert, but the dessert menu sure looked creative and tempting. Just one minor criticism. Waitstaff, PLEASE do not wear heavy (or any, really) perfume! It's so off putting and interferes with the enjoyment of the cuisine. The restaurant was packed and the staff handled it all with grace and smiles! Duck Press is awesome! read more

We came here at the recommendation of a family friend. So glad we did! We had a great time. Gotta love a place that has ample parking in back of building for it's patrons. Service was top notch. Loved the decor of the place. It was pretty busy but it did not feel like it. Our server was attentive and made sure we were taken cared of. The food was delicious and so filling. The Brussel sprouts for appetizers were so yummy. We ate so much we didn't have room for desert. Definitely will come back. read more

Went there the other day with some friends. Every single bite (we all shared) was so delicious! The bolognese is the best I've ever tasted. Yummy cocktails and a super sweet server - I'm sorry I don't remember her name! This place is a gem. read more

Nice Mello spot, great drinks, food & staff!! Good specials and conversation right in downtown Wakefield!

Excellent service, great cocktails, and the food was creative, hot & delicious. The new menu is a welcome addition with more dinner choices. Put at the top of your must try restaurants. read more

This would be a 5 star review easily if the scallop dish that cost me $32 took more than 3 minutes to consume and I didn't have to go to Burger King after cuz I was still hungry! 3 scallops were big, 2 were like bay scallops size and 1 was a crumb. Literally. The food was absolutely Delicious and the butternut squash was outstanding. Beautiful place too! Highly recommend to check it out. Mayeb the other dishes will fill you up. If I go back and have another yummy meal and it fills em up like it should for that price I would easily make this a 5. But for having to go order a whopper to finish the job that my scallops and beer did not, i hate to leave a 4 but it's a must. $32 plate should fill me up. And I'm only 170 pounds! Lol. Anyway..... it was delicious and beautiful . Keep up the great job. read more

One of the best restaurant experiences I have had in quite some time. I absolutely love Duck Press. They did a great job with the decor and the food is always delicious. I have been twice now and each time I go, I can't wait to return. The first time I went I got the Crab Pasta - Absolutely Delicious! One of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. The second time, I went with the duck. Man oh man was this cooked to perfection. Literal perfection! read more

Nice spot in Historic district in Wakefield. Drinks are good. Appetizers delicious. A bit pricey but Staff friendly. Great place to go pre or post show next door to the Contemporary Theater. Would return there. Good experience. read more

Took the "long drive" (by RI standards) from East Greenwich to Wakefield a few weeks back to check this place out. Our favorite bartender Kelli recently moved to Duck Press - so we had to check it out. Funny enough - we ran into several other people who were there to see her new post too! Bias aside - the place was unique and great! It is not just another iteration of "The Old Fat Belly's" that used to be there. It's fresh new look pairs well with their current menu and is a breath of fresh air in Wakefield. We HAD to try the duck - which was amazing! Everything else tasted phenomenal and I look forward to trying more! I will be back - worth the "long drive"!! read more

Food is awesome and the staff is great. It's my default go to in Wakefield. Everything on menu tastes amazing

Great food, great drinks, and great service! We walked in pretty early for dinner service & our reservation, but they were still very friendly & accommodating. We had the burger & salmon. Highly recommend both. The drinks were amazing! read more

My husband and I have eaten at Duck Press many times, at this point it's now part of our weekly rotation! There are several reasons we love Duck Press: the food is excellent - not only is the quality and execution high level, it's also really important that the restaurant mixes up their menu and has great specials. Duck Press delivers on both and we always enjoy trying the latest options. As much as we enjoy the food, what keeps us coming back every week is their fantastic bar and most importantly their great bartender Sarah! I have a favorite cocktail that she has perfected. Every time we travel I actively look forward to being home and taking our seats at the bar. If it's Wednesday we look forward to seeing Sarah and Frank at the Duck Press for a midweek treat! read more

My husband and I decided at the last minute on a Saturday to go out to dinner...heard amazing things about Duck Press so we gave it a try. What have we been waiting for?! What a cute place...It was amazing... from the minute we walked in the hostess was so sweet and helpful to the waiter who was so kind with his recommendations ... my husband was blown away with the chefs innovated cooking... we had the crab special and the duck Bolognese along with the clam appetizer not only that we ordered dessert... which we never usually do! From the minute we picked up our forks to the moment we put them down every bite was mouth watering my husband said that it was the best meal he has ever had outside of Europe! Hats off to this innovative chef! It is truly a hidden gem GO you will not be disappointed counting the days till we go back! read more

Tried the duck breast w mango and tamarind sauce last Monday. The sauce was tasteless and the breast was cold dry and hard, kinda like my soon to be ex's. If you're going to serve up last weekends leftovers, think instead of saving to hammer nails into the wall. read more

I come here every time I am in Wakefield! Love the food; definitely try the desserts. Lots of ambiance. Great cocktails!

DO NOT order from here from Uber Eats. Order ordered at 6PM and it is 8:03 and just got message that it will be here in 30 minutes. LAME!

I love this place, especially the kale Caesar salad, the burger with bacon, and the spicy margarita. The portions are perfectly sized and the appetizers are also delicious (bluefish beignets, chips, Arancini). Great location, love that they're open later than most places in the area! read more
