    We had an excellent visit last evening. The food was superb as in our past visits, the atmosphere perfect and our server Sam was knowledgeable, engaging and made our visit a memorable one. Two of us enjoyed the mixed grill and a vegan friend raved about the vegetable stew. We will definitely be back!

    The food and service was good however we specifically asked for a booth and were brought to a 6 person table for 2 people. We don’t believe the person who seated us cared about where we were brought and basically ignored our request. Anthony’s pays more attention to our requests like this than Dukes did on this occasion.

    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.

    Duke's is a special place to take a customer, business contact or just an old friend to enjoy beautifully prepared food, served by a terrific person in a relaxed, fun nautical atmosphere.

    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.
