Really nice outdoor seating space, and the crab cake sandwich I had was fantastic. What I appreciated most is when I had questions about ingredients in some of the dishes, the cook came out and talked to me and made sure I ordered something completely gluten free. We'll be back there again next year!

As someone from just outside New Haven, CT—the (albeit, self-proclaimed) pizza capital—I don’t say this lightly: Duck Pizza is some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. I am gluten-free and am constantly disappointed by the pizza options I try, but Duck Pizza knocked it out of the park. Their GF crust was not only delicious fresh out of the oven, but somehow just as good cold the next day (the true test!). The staff and owners were incredibly friendly and accommodating—going out of their way to get to know us and welcome us to Duck. I was visiting for a week and ended up eating Duck Pizza three times—that alone should tell you how good it is. If you're gluten-free and missing out on really good pizza, or even if you're not, this place is 100% worth it. P.S. Have some extra time? Duck Pizza is located in a great little center with some awesome local shops. I loved being able to place my order and stroll around while I waited—it turned grabbing a meal into a whole experience.

"The Perfect 10" When vacationing, we love to explore local eateries. We were excited to try Aqua and that set high expectations. And Aqua Exceeded every one!! Aqua is not inexpensive and I did not want my guests to feel the need to order based on cost. Staff printed "blind menus" just for my party of 6. Very kind. First "win" for the team. Sat down at sunset, indoors over looking the sound...spectacular view. Win number two. Service was fantastic! Waiter knew foods and how there were prepared and able to make acco.modate two gluten and one dairy allergy. Win number three. Drinks were even better than their descriptions...I LOVED my King Richard and the Pear Martini was sublime. Win number four. Apps were amazingly presented, delicious and good for sharing amongst a party of 6. Crab chowder, scallop ceviche, Banging Shrimp, Truffle Fries...all superb. Win number five. And then dinner comes out. No list of adjectives will suffice! Local Red Snapper, Shrimp and Grits, Sirloin cooked perfectly...Every one loved every bite. Win number five. Desserts including sorbet, ice cream, peanut butter pie (OMG) and Key Lime pie delicious and not too sweet...just perfect. Win number six! We have been to many places but I do not ever recall a finer meal. Aqua was a perfect evening and worth every penny paid...and then some!
