Normally you need to let them know in advance if you're going to be having Peking Duck, like a few hours ahead of when you're due to arrive.  At least, that's what my in-laws always do when we order it.

My favorite place for Peking Duck is Hunan Delight in Olney, MD.  I know that the place was mentioned a couple of weeks ago regarding Olney restaurants. This is where my in-laws are taking us for our anniversary this coming weekend. I believe that the price is pretty reasonable as well.  I know that it's less than Tony Lin's in Rockville, and you get a bigger, better tasting dish.

Try the Eat First, on the west side of 7th St. NW, just south of H Street NW. IMHO, their duck is superb. And at about $8.00 for half a duck (easily enough for the meat course for two diners) it's a good value.
