    Food was ok. Have had better. $15.00 for a cup of clam chowder seems a little expensive, and a do say less than 8 oz.

    Found this gem on the search for a kid friendly restaurant and it exceeded my expectations. I had the best Salmon I have ever had! My 18 month old devoured her salmon dish as well and my husband loved his award winning clam chowder. Definitely on the list to return to when visiting Seattle again in the future and recommending to all of my friends visiting as well!

    Pricey, but worth it!!! We got the Maple Bacon Seafood Bites starter (bacon wrapped Prawn & Scallop with an herb maple butter sauce - DELICIOUS The chef special mac nut encrusted halibut was AMAZING! Dessert was good but could have been better. Again, we got the special - lemon pound cake with strawberries and cream. The cake was quite dense and neither the cream nor the whipped topping were memorable, but the sauce absolutely made the dish. I would totally go back if I'm ever in Seattle again!

    Arrived alone - seated by the kitchen (had a reservation). Restaurant was very busy, high noise level, server preoccupied so service was very slow. Lobster roll was meh!

    Easter Sunday a bit chilly but we enjoyed sitting on the deck under heaters and supplied blankets. More enjoyable as less noisy than inside and we could enjoy their great view over Lake Union. Food is always consistently good at all Dukes.
