Husband choked. Not one staff knew Heimlich maneuver. He’s ok. But charged us full price for all at the table.

Family friendly, great food and good bartending! We really appreciate their support when they donated a prize for the fundraiser we held for the Down Syndrome Association of Connecticut.

Finally made it to Sitting Duck...started with the Bang Bang Shrimp...was very light and crispy...we had the blackened chicken over pasta Alfredo, very good...also had the bacon macaroni and cheese...both dishes were tasty and filling.. took home leftovers from both meals, so portions were very generous. Very satisfied with establishment.

Overview:Sitting Duck is a great restaurant with an interesting menu that is very fitting for the name. Nevertheless the food comes out amazing and has several classic dishes that are a staple to this place, like the beef tips.Food:- The food here is awesome, and with their specials that seem to rotate, you'll always be able to try something new that isn't normally on the menu.- I had one of the specials, which was a steak with a special sauce, gorgonzola, potatoes and spinach - cooked excellently and was delicious.- The beef tips are awesome and never let down, a go to if you aren't sure what to get!- The new substitute for the pub chips, Disco Duck, is awesome! Try it out, its a great dish for a family or numerous people!- Prices aren't bad at all for the portion sizes and the quality.Drinks:- The drink menu here is nice, with a great local selection of beers and local distilleries such as Litchfield Distillery.- Prices are above-average for the drinks, meaning better bang for the buck and since they're supporting local places, try out a new brew or whisky!Service:- Staff here is nice, and always check up on how things are. Not a bad thing about the service, timing, or accommodations.- Great effort on the team for handling going up and down stairs every time to serve numerous tables!

As a visitor to Stratford from the south every few months, I'm always looking for great places to eat. Sitting Duck has never disappointed. Got the salmon last week and was blown away. Perfectly cooked. Spinach was absolutely excellent, as were the potatoes. Service was phenomenal. Craft beer selection was very good (I like higher ABV beers, so that might be the only knock I have, but it's not a big one).This kind of thing has been my experience every time. Couldn't possibly recommend this place highly enough. You'll love it.

Food was good. Our waiter Zack was great in making sure we were well taken care of.

enjoyed the historic building while munching on their famous beef tips with a glass of vino....service was very good too..highly recommend

Easily one of my favorite spots around here! I do miss the Crispy Fish Tacos a lot though! Hope they make a comeback :)

I was in town for a funeral recently. I stopped in for lunch a day prior to the event and also booked an after funeral reception with them. The food, service and staff were all great! They even pointed me in the direction of good accommodations in the area. One tiny snafu was worked out with no real problem. I was able to relax after a stressful event and talk with my family, relax for a bit before getting on the road to home .Thank you to Matt and everyone.

Friendly bartenders. Great staff who offered to keep my to-go meal under the heat while I finished my drink. Great food.
