    I do not think there is a better venue for a Seattle summer afternoon or evening than Duke's Lake Union and the seafood is the best, from ingredients to prep. Service great. I'll keep going on about my experience! Always a winner.

    Dinner was very good, but beware if you are making a reservation. You will still wait 20-30 minutes. Expect high prices ($28-$49 for entrees). If you are good with a $200 bill for a family of four, then go for it. Like I said, the food is delicious. Just super pricey.

    Beautiful restaurant, we were seated outside with a wonderful view overlooking the bay. The lobster risotto appetizers were delicious. Drinks were great. Our server was knowledgeable and perfectly timely. Had some oysters on the half which were delicious. We had seafood tacos and a seafood combo platter. Scallops may have been the best I've had in a restaurant. Second round of drinks were even better than the first, they have an impressive cocktail list. Unfortunately we were too full for dessert, so no comments on that. Definitely recommend.

    Small mishap at the beginning, Duke’s was great and solved the issue quickly and made our visit and meal one to remember. Definitely would go back.

    The food was fantastic the service was speedy but the prices were unfortunately too high. The crab cake meal came with two crab cakes a a small side of vegetables and cost $45. Lovely place but will not go again due to the price.

    Poor service and bad quality foods. Our server checked on us only once or twice during the whole meal. Water was not refilled so we had to go and grab the water ourselves. Halibut was dry. Fish tacos was just some fish and coleslaw.
