A search shows nothing, so I'm asking: has anyone eaten at the Blue Duck Tavern at the revamped Park Hyatt DC yet? This is the restaurant that takes the place of (the late, lamented) Melrose. Same chef (Brian McBride), new floorplan and menu.

The PH has sent me a 100 dollar gift certificate, to be used for dinner for 2 before the end of September. They've only been open since mid-June, so there haven't been too many reviews. The one posted on Chowhound is mixed. One diner liked it, one didn't, another has been twice and liked both meals.

The menu looks interesting. Especially pleasing: knowing that most of the food served is grown locally, and that almost every item on the menu includes a description of where the food was grown, farmed, or raised.

Their website is still under construction, but a search found this. http://www.heatherfreeman.com/webpag...ucktavern.html

I don't know if that's the real pricing on the menu, or just a mock up.

(I'd thought about posting this in the DC forum, or in Dining, but thought I'd start here, as PH guests are likely to have checked it out.)
