Great food! Great service! Rico was a great server. Did Thanksgiving there tonight and plan to do it again. Moist sliced turkey, with their signature Brussel sprouts and all the trimmings, including stuffing, mashed taters and a perfect cranberry sauce. We’ve been several times and the food has always been stellar, with one small exception being the pumpkin Oreo cheesecake, which was a bit hard and dry on the top layer of cheesecake. But Rico made it right by treating us to the chocolate lava cake with salted caramel sauce over vanilla ice cream, which was the bomb! Perfectly indulgent.

Excellent food, service, view, and experience for Thanksgiving. We have gone to Dukes for over 15 years on Thanksgiving and it never disappoints. The Thanksgiving dinner with side of lobster as well as the view can't be beat.
