Of course I had to stop by Duke's to try their award winning clam chowder when I visited Washington for the first time. Wow! That's really all I can say. The food, the drinks, the service, the atmosphere and the interior decorating were all top notch. I had an old fashioned manhattan and a bowl of their clam chowder. 10/10 all across the board. If I ever go back to Washington I know I'll have to stop by again for sure! read more

Loved everything we've ever tried at Duke's. First time there, we ordered the happy hour oysters ($3 each at happy hour price) and a small signature chowder. Service and the taste blew us away so we decided to come back for a special occasion and was really well taken care of by our server Moses, who made sure we had fresh bread on the table next to our waters filled constantly, and bringing the check in a timely manner. The vibe is chill and fun, with the game on in the background in the bar area and the shades raised in the main dining room where you can watch the sunset while you eat, it makes the meal very enjoyable and memorable! Definitely coming back and signing up for their perks so we can come back more often! read more

I'd had heard from other enthusiasts, so decide to pay a visit.Do know that you need to use the free parking across the road and those turns and streets can be a bit tricky. Anyways,, it's on the second floor and the seating looks towards the street, which is a plus. Ordered their specials as they all looked appealing..a cocktail, chowde , seafood boil and some dessert Chowder and seafood boil was exceptionally good The prices are on the higher side though.. read more

Being new to Seattle, we enjoy discovering new restaurants, especially seafood ones! This place is in a very nice location on the second floor of a business building. I like the woodsy decor and casual vibe. The service was great and the food was good. I ordered the salmon with mustard based sauce plate. It was good. The coconut shrimp was also good. My husband had the crab-cake sandwich and chowder which he totally enjoyed. We will definitely be back to try a few other things. read more

3.5 Stars. Great server and expeditors. Really appreciate they serve each dish to the person who ordered it without asking. Our server didn't even write our orders down. The salmon though has always been unimpressive here. Always a tad too dry. Always keep giving it a chance here and there but maybe never again. The fish n chips though is worthy. Perfectly breaded, good size pieces of cod. A must whenever visiting Dukes. Noteworthy is the sourdough bread before the meal. Soft, hot, wholesome. It's kinda "the hook" here to persuade you to return honestly. Always enjoy the ambiance here, decor, overall vibe. Just wished the salmon was better. read more

Visit: 1st Date: 3/6/26 Time: 11:36am What they got right: Friendly server, nice decor, good location and tasty food. Areas for improvement: More education for the food runners. I ordered a half dozen freshly shucked oysters of 2 varieties and when I asked the food runner which variety was which, the food runner didn't know either. Overall the decor and menu items really emphasized their seafood focus. They served their clam chowders in a couple of sizes, including a dinghy size that is just a few spoonfuls so you can get a 'taste'. I thought that was a good idea since they had a couple of chowder variations to try. If you want seafood, this is the place. read more

Really enjoyed the food at Duke's. We stopped by with the intention of watching a FIFA game and grabbing a bite. Good decision! Our server was lovely and helpful. The food was delicious and the portions were good. I loved sitting by the windows where there was more natural sunlight and we were still able to watch the game comfortably. The crab dip is a good shareable!! Love that they had gf free bread. read more

My first time at Duke's and we in on a weekday afternoon for happy hour (ends at 6pm) for an early dinner. Overall a solid experience with good food, great service, and a prime location in downtown Bellevue Food: We split a large (12oz) chowder between 2 people and I had a chipotle havarti burger. The chowder had great flavor and lots of toppings in each bite. The burger was a large portion and came with a side of fries. I personally thought the burger was a little bit dry (I couldn't tell if it was from the bread or the meat) for my liking, but it came with lots of toppings such as bacon and avocado. Service: The staff here was extremely kind and served us extremely well with refills on water and bread Price: I'd say this is in line with what I'd expect in downtown Bellevue. For 2 people during happy hour we paid $~80 to have 2 entrees and a shared chowder read more

This was my first time dining in at Duke's--I've only ever gotten takeout before, so it was a different experience. The restaurant is actually pretty large, with a big menu and a solid selection of seafood options. It's casual, but definitely not cheap--more of a once-in-a-while kind of place. My friend and I decided to share a bunch of items: clam chowder, calamari, a lobster roll, and the honey scallop and shrimp skewers. They also bring out a bread basket when you sit down--sourdough with butter--and it's really good. Pro tip: save some for the chowder, which is a must-order. Overall, everything tasted great. The clam chowder stood out, and the calamari was crispy and well done. The lobster roll was a pleasant surprise--it had a generous amount of meat, which we weren't expecting. Also, kind of random, but the sweet potato fries were really good too. The only dish I was a little unsure about was the honey scallop and shrimp skewers. They were still good, just not something I'd necessarily order again compared to everything else. Service was another highlight. The staff was friendly and attentive, and when we ordered a large chowder to share, our server offered to split it for us without us even asking, which was a nice touch. Overall, a really solid dine-in experience with good food and thoughtful service. read more

Honestly.. terrible. To start off, there was a thin layer of dust on the table, likely from an old washcloth. Not a dealbreaker, just dissatisfied. The food is the real dealbreaker. I honestly don't know how you can call this place a restaurant, when (respectfully) a crackhead down the street could make better seafood. The service was fine, efficient, and respectful. No huge complaints other than the food being brought out at different times, making the table feel disorganized read more

I came here for Mother's Day brunch and everything was delicious! I was happily surprised to see blueberry scones and bread & butter offered! I got both and it was very tasty. I got the lobster roll and it was delicious, filled with lots of lobster with a nicely toasted bun. It came with sweet potato fries and yummy ranch & another sauce that I don't know the name of but it was good too. The area and bathrooms are clean, service was great as well! read more

Came here for a corporate dinner, so it's a good spot to accommodate large parties. We got a few appetizers to split with the table, with the most memorable being the lobster risotto bites (highly recommend). The crab dip was also good. For the main course, I decided to get the seafood mac and cheese. This was a $40 dish that tasted extremely bland... emphasis on extremely. It was creamy but lacked all other flavor. Even the protein (salmon, halibut, lobster) barely had any flavor. For the prices, the food here did not feel worth it. While the appetizers were good, they are priced around $20-$30. Not sure if the other entrees were better (my colleagues seemed to enjoy them), but the mac and cheese was a definite miss. read more

We found Duke's Seafood by chance when searching for raw oysters after shopping in Bellevue Square, and it already becomes our favorite for oysters in Bellevue. The restaurant locates in Lincoln Square, just across the street. We usually come here for brunch/lunch and always get seated right away. Except for the bar area, most of their tables have a very nice window view towards the Bellevue Square across Bellevue Way. The tables and booths are spacious so we can sit comfortably. They serve warm sourdough and butter here the moment you sit down, and we enjoy that very much. Their menu has many seafood options ranging from fish, clams, to crabs, and lobsters. There are occasionally some seasonal options as well. Of course our favorite is the oysters. They usually have 2-3 types of fresh oysters daily and we always try all of them. We especially love the combination of the sauces that come with the oysters that we cannot find it anywhere else. The oysters are sweet and fresh, pair greatly with the sauce which strengthens their flavor. They are also famous for their chowders and crab un-cakes, but we are not as impressed as the oysters. In overall, Duke's Seafood is a decent restaurant with a very good location right in Bellevue Downtown. If you don't want to reserve ahead of time or stand in line for a table after hanging out nearby, this is a pretty good option for seafood and fresh oysters. read more

The food has unique flavors to traditional fare. The chowders are an example, unique and tasty. I loved the seafood chowder.

Their crab cake sandwich never disappoints and the chowder is so delicious! Lighting is on the darker side but good ambience overall!

To each their own, but I don't think Duke's lives up to the multi-star hype. A group of 5 of us dined there recently, food was average at best for some dishes, below for others. The crab cake was tasty, but not quite $27 for one crab cake level of tasty. They did live up to their promise that it was more crab than cake, so that was nice. My wife had the cioppino. It was a watered down tomato soup that was semi seafood flavored. I had the fish and chips. These were actually tasty and well fried. It was the most dense panko batter though, if it was panko at all. Again though, $35 for two pieces of fish and a cup of fries. Our server was nice and professional. But we did wonder why every table in the restaurant had what appeared to be a complimentary basket of bread except us. read more

DUKE's SEAFOOD @ BELLEVUE I've been here twice already and have always really enjoyed how delicious everything is. I'm a huge seafood lover! Parking can be a hassle since it's at the heart of Bellevue Square Mall, I'd recommend parking for free by Macy's and then taking the cross walk to this place. The service is great, they have amazing service and you can get seated fairly quickly. We decided to get the clam chowder, which was good but it definitely could be seasoned a bit more, it's also hard to eat the whole thing because once you do, the bread is left soggy and sad. Still overall delicious however. I would definitely come back, it's a spot i want to try overall again! read more

I've never been to Duke's before, but I've seen it around Seattle. I finally got to try the Bellevue location and I ended up getting oysters to share as well as the crab cake sandwich combo with a side of chowder. The crab cake sandwich had a really good amount of crab and the sweet potato fries were good too. I'm usually a regular potato person but they do the sweet potato ones well. And the chowder was tasty as well. Very attentive wait staff as well. I enjoyed my time here! read more

Tiny portions of overpriced food. Service was excellent but can't get beyond the tiny portions.

I came to Duke's Happy Hour at the invitation of my girl friend. There were a few customers inside the bar area. We sat at a comfortable booth around it. My girlfriend ordered "Peaches for me" from a Happy Hour drink menu. And we ordered the fresh oysters we wanted. On this day, there were Kumamoto oyster and another type of oyster. We ordered six oysters each. I recommend this season's oysters. Kumamoto oysters had an exceptional aroma and flavor. You should eat seasonal oysters. I also ordered Dungeness Crab "Un"Cake and Wild Alaska Salmon Bites. The crab cake was delicious, but the price was a little high. Our server provided the most pleasant service. read more

Needed to grab a quick bite after shopping around Bellevue Square and found this gem! Absolutely delicious food at a reasonable price. This place is one of the better seafood restaurant experiences I've had since being in Washington. The service was quick, staff were very attentive and welcoming, and the food was great. The restaurant itself is themed with fishing poles, boats and many fish statues. All that was missing was a great ocean view ;) Will definitely come again. read more

Stopped in for a light cool meal after seeing Hamilton at the Cinemark Reserve. - Seafood salads: Tasty, though the warm seafood on chopped "cool" greens kinda conflicted with each other. I was expecting a cold salad. Plenty of grilled seafood though. - Drinks: Red wine, N/A passionfruit tangerine "soda" - Service: Attentive - Ambiance: A little noisy, but we sat near the entrance. Maybe further in is more quiet and cosy? read more

The food is to die for! It's delicious. The fish and chips are thick pieces and perfectly cooked. The chips are also fantastic and taste almost of truffle fries but they're just potatoes, salt pepper and oil. The drinks are good and note weak. Thanks bartender. Bread with butter pre meal is fresh and delicious. Parking is a breeze. Got to level 3 or lower and take the elevator to floor 2. Parking is validated. Special kudos to Beto, our server. "Beh-To" is a fabulous server with create smile. We hope you get to meet him. Fantastic table service and the family run business is worth visiting. The music is light, the restaurant is not too loud, the views are good and this is a semi casual place, great for kids too. read more

Strong lunch option. Expensive but great bread and crab cakes. Rockfish tacos were a little dry and overly sweet. $80 without drinks for two tacos and a burger were pricey. Nice service though. Get a window seat. read more

We had an excellent meal the other night. I had cod and chips as well as the chowder and my wife had the cod tacos. We also shared some deviled eggs. It was all very good. We also appreciated the service. Genuinely friendly and prompt. For a mall restaurant it has a good feel as well. Duke's Restaurants are a Seattle fixture. Their consistency is remarkable. This would be 5 stars were it not for it being on the pricy end and their odd price tiers that tend to jack up the price of the base item. read more

Service was exceptional. I came for a birthday dinner and I wish I could have tipped more because the server respected our space when he saw we were having a heated discussion.

I wouldn't mind coming again and trying something else. read more

I've been to Duke's twice now and had a great experience both times. It's easy to make reservations, and we're always seated right away. Lots of great food and drink options. All of the staff are so friendly and attentive. I've never had to wave anyone over, because they do such a great job checking in frequently, and refilling our drinks without us even having to ask. They always give great recommendations for food too. We always order oysters (whatever is on special for the day) and they are always delicious, fresh, and chilled. We've also tried the fish and chips, coco loco prawns, and several of the chowders. Everything we've eaten as been delicious and perfectly prepared. Whenever I'm craving seafood in the Bellevue area, this is our go-to. read more

We went to Dukes for the first time a couple weekends ago, for date night and hands down, we had the best time. From the appetizer, crab cakes, to the best chowder I have ever tasted, to the fish and chips to the dessert, which was out of this world, I had NOTHING but an amazing experience at Dukes in Bellevue. We absolutely loved our waiter. His name was Eric. He was so upbeat, very patient, answered any questions that we had, I thought it was cool that the menu items explained like where the ingredients were from. Highly recommend, highly impressed. We have already made reservations to take our parents here when they come visit from out of town. AND the bathrooms are nice and clean. read more

I love Dukes and I love that there is a Dukes in Bellevue. I see the safety rating is excellent, which is important. It's so dark in the restaurant by the bar. I could barely see the menu not a problem. The menu hasn't changed for a while. We had the salmon sandwich which comes with sweet potato fries. I was surprised I thought it was going to be the regular fries, but apparently the seafood comes with sweet potato fries and the beef dishes. Come with regular fries. I'll have to remember that for next time. We started with one server in the bar, and I got a little nervous when I heard him say that he was going to go on break because our food was already taking a little bit longer than I would've guessed. Somebody else brought our food. I had the mixed green salad with candied pecans and blue cheese and it was so delicious. The bowl of soup was lukewarm. Two people walked by servers that were wearing heavy cologne. I really don't prefer that in restaurants My son ordered a Diet Coke and when it came, it was super flat when we asked about it. They told us that they carry seattle soda. Beverages so he changed to the root beer, which was not tasty but more carbonated. I ordered tartar sauce with my fries and it never came. The food was very good, but everything about the ordering process was a little bit confusing. I guess when we come again will know more about the fries and the soda. My husband really enjoyed his salmon sandwich. I will return, I like their food now that I'm newly versed in the details I hope to enjoy the restaurant with less confusion in the periphery. read more

6/15/2024 Located on the 2nd floor of Lincoln Square South in downtown Bellevue, Duke's Seafood beckons seafood enthusiasts with its sustainable delights! Crab Cake: Brace yourself for a crab cake that's all about the crab--plump, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The zesty lime aioli adds a delightful twist and this is my favorite dish! Seafood Chop Chop Salad: A symphony of ocean-fresh ingredients--think tender shrimp, scallops , and crisp greens. The menu is "unchopped" but I like everything to be chopped :) Whether you're here for lunch, or dinner, Duke's ambiance is cozy and inviting. The bar area might be a little bit dark, but it sets the mood for intimate conversations. read more

It's been a while since we visited Dukes. Stopped in for a quick meal. The atmosphere is great, the drinks are fun, and the service is prompt and courteous. The Dungeness crab salad was plentiful, and while not chock full of crab, the crab portion was adequate and the salad portion was generous - enough to share. The large tureen of ciappino style red chowder was just a large bowl - no tureen, and large chunks of fish but a smaller portions of other seafood. For the price it seemed lacking, and the tomato broth was surprisingly a bit bland. The bill came to $109, which included a beer and a house wine. It felt a bit high for what we ate, but that seems to be the case for alll the restaurants in Lincoln Square these days. I think Dukes has other entrees that may be the better choices, but it may be a while to return given the recent visit. read more
