    Came from California to visit Seattle , we love seafood maybe our dish we chose wasn't it This time . Ordered two drinks I personally didn't like my margarita but my girlfriend did like her other drink she got . We waited for quite a while for a lobster roll that was cold anyway . Not really that good in our opinion .

    Service was great and the wine was priced appropriately. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the halibut Being lactose intolerant we ordered crusted halibut without the beurre blanc sauce. The fish was dry. Seasoning was good though.

    From MN & was In Seattle for a wedding & wanted Seafood. Looked on Yelp & saw it had a good rating so thought we’d check it out. Best decision ever. Had the Macadamia crusted Halibut and it was the best I’ve ever tasted. My husband had the stuffed Salmon & he said it was very good too. Highly recommend Duke’s for a seafood venue when in Seattle.

    Once again, the "A" team (Gregg, Willow, Wiliam and Fernando) out preformed all expectations. The thing I love most at Dukes is the thoughtfulness and creativity they put into all their offerings on the menu. Take your pick and you'll end up a "winner", just can't miss! Thanks Guys!!!
