    We had a great experience at Duke's. The Northwest Clam Chowder, Salmon and Filet Mignon were all done very well, we enjoyed the desserts, and our server was a true professional. The menu has so many great options! Fantastic water views. All in all, we had a fantastic time and will definitely be back.

    One of our favorite spots in South Lake Union. Appreciate the view and the food is always excellent. Tonight we enjoyed the fresh sheet BBQ ribs, one of the best dishes we have had here. Service is always great and the view enjoyable.

    LOVE the Holy Halibut Macadamia!!! A harmony of textures and tastes! The halibut with macadamia and hazelnut beurre blanc sauce is nothing short of a flavor symphony. The halibut, perfectly cooked and tender, serves as a delicate canvas for the rich, nut-infused sauce. Halibut is the star: delicate, fresh, and moist. Cooked to perfection, the halibut is tender with a subtle sweetness. It pairs beautifully with the beurre blanc sauce that is luxurious, creamy, and nutty. The sauce is elevated with macadamia and hazelnuts, adding buttery sweetness and earthy notes that blend seamlessly. The Holy Halibut Macadamia is visually stunning. The golden-brown crust of the halibut contrasts with the creamy, nutty sauce, creating a visually appealing and texturally delightful dish. This vibrant dish is a delightful fusion of flavors and textures. The rice pilaf, cooked to fluffy perfection, forms the comforting base. Infused with aromatic herbs and spices, it boasts a subtle yet flavorful profile that complements the sweet-tart bursts of dried cranberries scattered throughout. The cranberries add a delightful chewiness and a touch of natural sweetness that enlivens each bite. Accompanying the pilaf are tender stalks of sauteed broccolini. With a satisfying char and slight crispness, the broccolini provides a fresh, slightly bitter contrast to the rich and nutty undertones of the pilaf. The green hues of the broccolini create a visually appealing contrast against the golden rice and crimson cranberries, making this dish as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. This dish is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, perfect for those who love gourmet cuisine. It's sure to leave you satisfied and craving more.

    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.
