    Great food, & superb service, when we ordered, some of our party indicated to the server he actually asked the kitchen to split the dish into 2, that’s over & above. Very thoughtful. Thank you.

    Great service. Food was a little lackluster. Lobster Mac and cheese had lobster that was more like lobster jerky.

    If you are looking for a place to eat with a view, this has it. However, between paying for parking (minimum $7 USD) and very expensive prices for casual food in small portions, I would suggest there are many better places to go. On top of that, I had a $25 OpenTable credit and my server said "he didn't know how to ring it in" because he'd never seen that before. He took my phone, along with my case that had all my ID and credit cards (lol) to show his boss. He came back and said he couldn't get it to work because it required a zip code and the zip code of the restaurant wasn't working. He then stated that the restaurant doesn't usually take prepaid MasterCards. He said I was out of luck and to use the OpenTable credit elsewhere. I advised I couldn't, because the dining credit was attached to the reservation I made and it would disappear after the reservation was done. He was still holding my phone at this point. I asked for it back so I could look. Right on the screen under server instructions, it said in bold writing: "Enter ZIP CODE: _____". I pointed that out, then he rang it in and it worked. Bare minimum effort for very expensive, okay food... With a good view. It was a weird experience. I won't be back... and I do wish I could use that dining credit elsewhere!

    I love Dukes. I was the one who suggested we dine there before our attendance at PNB’s last performance of the Nutcracker. But, wow, soooo expensive. I had two appetizer prawns, two half deviled eggs, one cocktail, tax and a generous gratuity. I paid $60.00. That seems unreasonable. Food and service were great but it’s hard to justify $60.00 for so little food. I will need to reconsider in the future.

    Always a nice time at Duke’s. Sat outside under the heat lamps and it was fresh and enjoyable. Oyster menu was fresh and reasonable-very good. Love their staple clam chowder. Had the warm berry pie of the day with the ice cream-fun. Great service from Gwen.

    Our server was not very attentive. They missed bringing over our appetizer completely. We had to ask a second time for side lemon wedges we’d ordered. And then they never brought over a second drink we ordered, then still charged us on the bill. It took 20 min to get the check delivered and paid. Very slow and mediocre service for the price we paid.
