    Great time on the deck. Trevor was a great sport in serving our group. Fun place to take visitors to see the sea planes take-off and land. Good family style food and vibes.

    Lots of great reviews so we went. Drinks were 50/50. Chowder/s good. Cod Fish was tasteless. There was problem with service on last course waiting a long time. When I received my rockfish fish taco, it was fishy and tortilla was hard. Sent it back.

    Had lunch on a Friday @ 1PM with friends. Parking lot has limited spaces;I found 1 space, 7 for 3 hours. Food very expensive for the amount/quality of seafood that you actually get. I had Un Chopped Seafood Sale $ 29.9-way over-priced for mostly lettuce & sub-par seafood. Not worth the price. Lunch & dinner menu both the same.

    Duke’s was a great place. I would highly recommend making a reservation. We made one for 8:30p on a Sunday night and the restaurant was packed. If the weather permits, the outdoor seating was great. Everything was delicious. Staff were great an attentive.

    We LOVE Dukes on Lake Union! The food and view are amazing! Lots of choices on the menu, especially for lunch, and we weren't rushed at all! Our waiter wasn't very attentive and we had to ask other waiters to track him down a couple of times, but we're going to mention this to management. Other than that, it was a lovely experience!

    Duke's is an absolutely delightful experience, especially during nicer weather when you can sit outside on the deck. They offer a good variety on the menu and the service was excellent. Our server Gwen did an exceptional job waiting on a number of tables. I would highly recommend Duke's. Their happy hour is really special.

    We enjoyed a lovely meal with friends, we arrived early for happy hour at our table. We did wish the server had asked before happy hour was over if we’d like anything before it was over. It seems like at most places this is customary. It might be nice if they’d also ask if we’d like separate checks.

    We come to Seattle to visit my 100 year old Mother-in-law. Duke's is her favorite restaurant, otherwise we would eat elsewhere. Duke's is crowded and obviously popular, the setting on Lake Union enjoyable. Duke's failings are its seeming disorganization in seating arrivals and tasteless food. In two visits I did not care for the Shrimp Louie or a daily special pasta with scallops. My spouse sneered at the fish and chips and agreed with my assessment of the pasta dish, Mother-in-law likes the one piece fish and chips. The beer and wine are good and the price is reasonable for Seattle lake front.

    Beautiful location on Lake Union. We both had the fish and chips and -$28 for two smallish pieces of fish and 10 chips. There was no taste to the fish but the chowder was very good. Disappointed in food taste but nice ambience on a sunny day.

    The food and drinks were very good. The $20 crab cake was too small for the price. We moved to a table that was outside, but had a huge spider crawling around the glass by the table. When we wanted to move we were given the same table that we had moved from which was by the stairs and by a kitchen like area, which was less than attractive for a romantic dinner. We were celebrating our anniversary and noted that on the open table special occasion tab, but no one mentioned it to us or did anything special. The waiter did forget my drink order, but didn’t seem to forget the orders around us. Other than that it was a nice night.

    It was a birthday. Our waiter didn’t even acknowledge it. But the hostess did as we came in. Terrible Caesar salad, terrible clam chowder (that was NOT clam chowder was it??), halibut was nice, Chardonnay was nice, view was great. This used to be the place to go for chowder and Caesar salad. We won’t we back sadly.

    Duke's was a great place for food, location, ambience and service. The prix fix dinner was the way to go for us. Soup, salad and a delicious entree. The fish and chips were tasty and the fish was fresh! In addition, it was a special treat to have three choices of Pacific oysters! It was the perfect place to see Lake Union and dine!

    I went with my family to celebrate a birthday. For an appetizer we had the calamari which was ok just a little rubbery. For entrees we got the halibut, fish and chips, coconut shrimp and pesto salmon. Between the four of us I feel we had a good selection of the menu and all the dishes were ok and DEFINITELY not worth the price. In a city with proximity to water I expected more. The best thing about it was the water view.

    The view was great, food was good but not memorable. Happened to be a beautiful day so they were very busy. I had made a reservation 2 weeks in advance and the day of called to ask that our reservation be for outdoor seating, I was told not a problem and they would see us tonight. When we got there and checked it we were a couple minutes past the reservation because the parking lot was packed. It took them 15 min to seat us, even with a reservation, and they took us to a table inside. We asked to be outside because we called ahead and requested it. They checked the reservation and said they didn’t see it on the reservation but that they would seat us outside. Overall I gave a 3 because of the time to sit us, even with a reservation (they sat multiple before us), and the addition of wanting to be outside not being added to the reservation when I was told it was. If they hadn’t been so busy I would give the experience a 2.
