Best Seafood Restaurants in Mercer Island

This was my second time dining and we had a great experience. Very attentive and friendly service. Food was served promptly and delicious. We were a group of 6 who ended up spending almost 3 hours there and did not feel rushed. Highly recommend for seafood and friendly service.

The oysters ( Kumamoto) were very good, the hot and sour soup was great, the Chilean seabass was great and we ordered some rice with thai style red curry which was excellent. My daughter ordered Opakapaka and she said it was very good too. a nice bottle of a sommelier recommended Sauvignon Blanc completed the circle for an outstanding dining experience.

We reserved an early time for dinner. The host asked if we were there for a special occasion which we were not but nice to know for the future. There were just a few diners so the noise level was low which we like for conversation. Our server was fantastic. He made us feel like we were his only table, and he had a great smile! All five at the table enjoyed their meal and the desserts were yummy.

The food was very good, large portions. Our waitress was very friendly and tentative. There was no wait time to be seated and our waitresses came over within 5 minutes (after we were seated) to take our drink orders. The food was flavorful (except for the stuffing, but then I only love my mom’s stuffing!😉). The Carrol singers were hard to hear although that may have been because the level of the noise from the crowd was a bit loud. The servers that brought our meals were very tentative and kind. Overall we all had a wonderful experience and we will definitely comeback for the New Year’s celebration!!!

Excellent service…prompt, friendly and great energy. Ambiance: Natural light, comfortable and festive. Food: Always solid Dukes has been around forever and there’s a reason. Cheers to management that keep this place running like a well oiled machine. Merry Christmas!
