    Always a nice time at Duke’s. Sat outside under the heat lamps and it was fresh and enjoyable. Oyster menu was fresh and reasonable-very good. Love their staple clam chowder. Had the warm berry pie of the day with the ice cream-fun. Great service from Gwen.

    Our server was not very attentive. They missed bringing over our appetizer completely. We had to ask a second time for side lemon wedges we’d ordered. And then they never brought over a second drink we ordered, then still charged us on the bill. It took 20 min to get the check delivered and paid. Very slow and mediocre service for the price we paid.

    4 old friends getting together for the holidays. Our server/bartender was efficient, knowledgeable & kind. The halibut never disappoints. I love that I can have a “dingy “ of chowder because I want to try more than one! It was a beautiful view & a lovely evening.

    Food was lacklustre. The fish was under seasoned and slightly overcooked. The cioppino broth was quite underwhelming and the fish seemed flavourless. The fish tacos were large, but were stuffed with a lot of salad. Drinks and service were both outstanding.

    My two daughters and I dined here for supper. From start to finish it was awesome! Not only did we order from the happy hour menu but also the regular menu. We tried a variety of items. The Dungeness crab deviled eggs were a fun new thing to try and were delicious! We also had steamed clams, the clam chowder, oysters on the half shell, and one of the salmon dishes. Everything we ate was so good! Our service was spot on as well! We would definitely visit Dukes again!
