Fresh and hot Sourdough bread along with chilled butter were excellent! Our party had mixed reviews of the "award-winning clam chowder"--half of us thought it was overly seasoned/salty as were most of the seafood entrees. Great service but just average and pricy food overall.
Menus
Good seafood selection; fish and chips are a bit on the small size; but very tasty. Staff was great; would go back..
It's a bit loud (I can hear other people's conversations) â Fine. The server was fine, but had an odd 9-second linger after every verbal exchange ended. Also, she put her hand on my back to point out a menu item â OK, but a bit odd in the current environment. The food: The macadamia-crusted halibut was extremely-overly sweet... to the point of being almost inedible. Parmesan-crusted would (likely) be a much better bet. The crab "un-cake" was excellent; served with a cube of guac seemed a bit odd but was a great call. The main thing is that this place is just extremely overpriced across the board ($28 for two tacos??, $22 for a breadbowl of chowder?, $28 for fish and chips?). I get what they're trying to be, it's just that the quality of food and service (3 visits over) just doesn't quite meet that intent. It feels more on par with a Cheesecake Factory... that focuses on seafood. Amend prices by 30%-60% and I'd keep coming.
Decent middle-high end seafood restaurant that's located across the street from Bellevue Square Mall. It was very convenient to just call and meet up with the crew after an afternoon of shopping. A simple walk across Bellevue Way and you're there. Reservations at Cheesecake Factory was booked until 930pm, so we tried out Duke's instead. We had to wait a few minutes but was soon ushered to our table. The decor was nice and our group table had a nice window view of the mall and the busy Bellevue Way Street. Nice of them to prepare a special birthday plate for the birthday boy.
Overall the food was pretty good! The crab cake and scallops were excellent. The prawns were good but not amazing. Portion sizes aren’t the biggest for how pricey things were. Free bread was included and the service was really great!
My favorite restaurant in Seattle!
Great food, friendly service. Wish the tables and seats were updated and less cramped.
It is great seafood restaurant. We loved oysters and stuffed shrimps. Even housemade cocktail-sauce was really good, we finished it even after food was gone. Good choice of cocktails, I loved my Bloody Mary.
Staff should be trained on where the wines come from. Fish and chips very disappointing. Tiny piece of fish. Over priced.
Service was great, atmosphere welcoming - staff remained alert to our needs, kept water flowing long after we finished dining. Appreciated that we had to ask for the bill as opposed to being rushed out. Noise level in the restaurant was pleasant. Food was great!
