    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.

    Being from Maine and living now in Alaska, the dishes you served with the Halibut from Kodiak, Alaska were superb! You made that fish taste exquisite. Bravo The chowder was to die for.

    Unbelievable! We have been enjoying Dukes at SLU for over 8 years and have never been disappointed. The real bonus for us is enjoying time with the same people. Willow, Michelle, and Amelio are special people.
