From the moment we arrived at the hostess stand, our expectations quickly started to descend. I suspected that they were short staffed We decided to hang in there and got a seat outside. Great spot on a beautiful day to enjoy drinks and a meal. I let our waitress know that I had a birthday email to enjoy on the house She took our drink order. We started to notice that the restaurant was severely short staffed. Orders were going to the wrong tables I think there were three waitresses and a bus guy. We asked for a large fry, the oysters were great, a bowl of chowder, Caesar salad, crab dip and a Bibb lettuce salad with crab. First order of fries were in a small tin cup. Flagged her down to get the larger order of fries. Ten minutes later and they were cold!!! My Bibb salad had the potential to be ok. Sadly, it was DRENCHED in dressing and the crab tasted like water The crab dip was really spinach dip with a hint of crab. We order a second drink, when she brought them to our table, she tried to take our other drinks away even though there was still beverage left. We left very dissatisfied. The sun had come out and it would have been a great addition of celebrating my birthday month. Having mediocre food and bad service lends itself to people leaving dissatisfied.

Stopped by for a quick snack and the food was delicious. Fries were crispy without being drenched in oil. The vodka cucumber drink was refreshing but not over the top. I had a beer after.

Lake Union

After several years, we visited Duke's on South Lake Union for a birthday dinner. Duke's has returned to this lake front location after the restaurant had shuttered for a few years and other businesses occupied the space. There are a couple parking lots and on the street parking is availablebforvthe adventurous. Duke's has stairs and an elevator that lead you from the entry level upstairs to the main dining area. The view of the lake and surrounding area from the restaurant is great! We started with chowders (New England and Lobster) that were quite tasty Next up were our entrees. Three of us went with salad entrees ((un)chopped seafood and the Dungeness Crab). The (un) chopped arrived with skewers of shrimp and scallops. I added a tiny lobster tail to my version of the salad. None of the seafood was overcooked. The Dungeness Crab salad had bibb lettuce, bacon, almonds, bell peppers, tomatoes, and a honey-raspberry vinaigrette. The other person in our party of four went with fish and fries and appeared to thoroughly enjoy it as not a speck of food remained on his plate. For dessert, we chose the carrot cake and the Peerless Pier Pie. The service was great and the front of the house and waiters were welcoming. An all around nice experience! There were other options from the menu that I look forward to exploring on return visits.

Had a reservation (booked online) and was seated right away on a Saturday afternoon. Parking is $8 or so, so plan accordingly. Service was quick and friendly and we had a heated outdoor table (heaters were a little toasty on the face but still a nice addition). Food was amazing and felt light and fresh. The dessert was great too and it's well worth the visit to try this place!

Happy Hour Menu (2/2026)
Ren H.

We came here after a visit to MOHAI. It was happy hour which was perfect. We sat at a table across from the bar and ordered some drinks and snacks to share. I got their Blueberry Lemon Drop martini which was perfect for my sweet tastebuds and my friend got the New York Old Fashioned which he also enjoyed. For snacks, we were brought complimentary bread and then we ordered their Dungeness Crabby Deviled Egg and Wildly Delicious Alaska Salmon Sliders. Both were very tasty. The views here were great and staff were friendly. I would enjoy coming back again to try more of their food.

Exceptional service, good food and beautiful view. Many things to choose from including many salads, make choosing a chore but always a reward. Strong flavors and good bar and wine choices. Marionberry pie was fantastic. Unfortunately at the time there wasn't a good wine pairing with it, but I appreciated the staff not just trying to push random wine on me in lieu of a good match. Now I got to find a gym though.

Great views...good food...wonderful service. I would highly recommend the clam chowder paired with the warm bread that they bring out to you. It's heaven. I wasn't a big fan of the crab dip, but my husband and son loved it. For dinner, I would recommend blackened halibut even though it is not on the menu. The grilled trio was yummy although I would recommend asking it to be blackened as well. Duke's is located in a nice area and gives you a choice of sitting outside by the water or inside where you could have access to tv's. We shared a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and had a very relaxing evening enjoying some seafood overlooking the water.

The atmosphere is great with a nice view and friendly staff. The background music has that 80s to 90s vibe mixed with Heartland rock and rock and roll. It fits the place well. The restaurant is a little on the fancy side. My wife talked me into going. I felt a bit uncomfortable at first because the crowd did not seem very mixed, maybe because it was during lunch. We did not see much of the usual mix of people who go out during the day. Even with that, the vibe and atmosphere were good and I was enjoying it. Our server came to our table about 5 to 7 minutes after we sat down. The appetizer arrived around 15 to 17 minutes which was fairly fast considering the place was not busy. The food took much longer, about 43 minutes from when we arrived. It was slow at first but then started getting busier. Maybe that explains the delay but it still felt like a long wait for just two plates. The place is mellow and the parking lot has plenty of space. The only issue is you still have to pay for parking even if you are dining there. This is the first restaurant I have been to where you pay to park just to eat. Overall it is a good place with a nice atmosphere and decent service but the long wait and parking situation bring it down. I give it a 7 out of 10.

On my recent trip to the Pacific Northwest, a pang of seafood craving hit me like a ton of bricks. It was a balmy and beautiful evening in Seattle when I meticulously researched every single restaurant in the area and decided on Duke's. Beautiful views, fresh seafood and an hour to sunset? What's not to love about this decision. From the moment I entered this establishment, it was pure joy. The host, server and staff were all incredibly kind to a solo diner like me. I was seated on the outside patio facing the water and soaked the views of the marina in as the sun began to set. It was so incredibly beautiful and memorable. I started with half a dozen oysters - they were fresh and shelled perfectly with the liquid intact and served with a lime granita that was out of this world. These were the best oysters I had on my entire trip! My only regret? Not ordering more. I also ordered the crab "un" cake - a signature dish from what I gathered. I enjoyed this very much and really appreciated the refreshing avocado tower it came with. The crispiness on the outside of this crab cake really did it for me! However, my east coast Baltimore crab cake fanatic self did wish there was more lump crab meat in it. For my main I went with a blackened salmon filet on a blue cheese salad with fresh blueberries. The chunks of cheese, the dressing and succulent blueberries were absolutely out of this world. The server told me they soak the blueberries in juice before adding them in?? Just. Wow. The salmon was fresh as ever, prepared perfectly with the right textures, flavors and seasonings. This is one of the best seafood restaurants in the city, and with an unforgettable view and ambiance, it has to be your no brainer choice for a beautiful meal that satisfies all the five senses!

Lobster & Seafood Cavatappi Mac 'n Cheese

I got the Lobster Mac and Cheese. Immediately after getting it served, the lobster was very cold and chewy as if I was eating a rubber ball. The pasta lacked seasoning and I was very underwhelmed for the price.

Duke's has a great location with awesome views! Our server was amazing, and did a great job helping our table. Overall the food was okay at best. The table wasn't impressed at all. The food is overpriced and the portions will leave you moving on to the next spot to get a satisfied belly. It's also disappointing that the owner supports some unpopular national policy. We learned this post meal, if we knew before we would've skipped Duke's altogether and avoided the disappointment in the barely okay food. The money question, would I visit again. NOT IN A MILLION YEARS. Oh yeah the drinks were mediocre too.

Ordered the dessert from Summer Sweet Tooth
Melinda L.

On this visit, we ordered the unforgettable seacod tacos, Kodiak Island Halibut Macadamia and Fresh Berry White Chocolate Shortcake. We were served water and hot sourdough bread with butter. It was about 3pm and we had better service than dinner time. The views were great, service was good and we had an enjoyable meal. The Halibut was fresh but the potato, rice and vegetable dishes were so so. We also had the clam chowder, grilled wild salmon with rice and vegetables on another visit closer to dinner time. This time, we sat outside. Although the soup was great and the fish fresh, the side dishes were so so and we felt rushed by the server! On another visit closer to 7pm, we tried the lobster mac and cheese as well as cod fish and chips. The lobster mac and cheese dish was delicious. However, the cod fish and chips was dissappointing.. The fish was a bit hard and not like the South center location. Maybe the quality dropped as it was very crowded and busy. Views were great and we sat inside. What drew me back was curiosity over the large menu of fish dishes. Last but not least, I love their sourdough bread!

We shared a 3 piece cod and chips and a large chowder. It's nice they give a senior discount when you are over 60 (yikes!). The service was quick and friendly and we got our food quickly. The fish is cooked up perfectly with a golden crust and was delicious. They serve it with their house tartar sauce and a very small side of coleslaw. The chowder was very hearty and tasty as well.

The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

We ended up waiting a little over an hour, even after the restaurant officially closed, but they still served everyone who was already in line, which I appreciated. Once inside, the staff were very friendly and apologetic about the wait. Service was a bit slow, but that's understandable considering how packed they were. The restaurant itself is also fairly small, which likely contributed to the wait. We ordered the fried fish sandwich, salmon sandwich, chowder, and fried oysters. Overall, everything was good, but the standouts for me were the salmon sandwich and the chowder. The salmon sandwich was served cold, which initially caught me off guard because I was expecting it to be hot. After taking a bite, though, I understood why it was served that way, it was fresh, flavorful, and worked really well. The fried oysters were also delicious, especially paired with the dipping sauce. The chowder wasn't quite like the style I'm used to, but it was still rich, flavorful, and worth ordering. The fried fish sandwich--the item I was most excited about--was good, just not my favorite of everything we tried. The best way I can describe it is as an elevated Filet-O-Fish. It wasn't bad by any means, but it's probably not something I'd order again. As for the long line, I wasn't upset about waiting because I knew they were busy, but I probably wouldn't wait over an hour again. I would definitely come back if there wasn't such a long line, because the food and friendly service made it worth another visit.

If not considering the event itself, then this place is just the storefront with their kitchen in the back, and their interior is essentially all the seating inside the Armory itself. They're conveniently sandwiched between The Little Chicken Teriyaki and Big Mike's Sandwich Co., not too far from the doors leading to the restrooms. They serve seafood baskets, fish and chips, poutines and samplers on their menu, and you place your order on a kiosk at the front. Staff were ready to answer questions, and had a lot of good energy when serving orders to me and their other customers. I split with two others in my group the sampler, which consists of two pieces each of fried cod, oyster and shrimp, all on top of a bed of French fries. The tempura batter for all three came apart a little too easily, though it was even more so with the fried cod, as it was hard to use a spoon and fork to scoop up the easily broken pieces. Shrimp and oyster were both really good and not too salty on their own. French fries were also really filling, and were very fresh - they were on the verge of being too salty. Overall portion was relatively big and all three of us got full from splitting this.
