I was taken to Duck's Restaurant by a friend of mine for a late brunch after some hard morning work. This is a place he had been going to since he was a kid, and was on a first-name basis with most of the staff.

Duck's Restaurant, inside of the Holiday Inn hotel, is very nicely decorated with soothing colors and cushy booths. During the mornings, a buffet is available with breakfast favorites and a chef to cook up your own personalized omelette. A variety of desserts are also included.

The service was very friendly, though a portion of this may be attributed to the staff's familiarity of my friend. Our drinks were always full, and we had everything we needed. I also saw, for the first time, an automatic soap-dispenser in the restrooms. Classy!

Duck's Restaurant is located at 915 E. Apache Blvd. in Tempe.
