    I wish I remembered the servers name. He was spectacular. Lunch with elderly, hearing impaired mother and he was patient, attentive and just made the experience. The food was great too 😜

    We always come here for delicious food and we were not disappointed. Who can beat a lovely bowl of Lobster Mobster Chowder and a fish and chips. Just the best. Layla was our excellent server. Very attentive and sociable.

    Had the Parmesan encrusted halibut and salmon nuggets for an appetizer. Delicious perfect crunch and perfectly done halibut. Cioppino and smoked scallops butternut squash raviolis with my guests. Perfect blend of fall pasta and seafood. Cioppino was huge and loaded with seafood.

    I made a reservation for my husband's birthday. I mentioned it in special instructions as well as what we were celebrating. The host didn't mention it or tell the server. We requested a table inside but tried to seat us outside. The server did a good job and our food was really good.

    Food was very good. Service was good, except for the fact that we felt rushed. Main course was brought to the table when we were still eating our salads.

    The view was awesome. The food was quite good as was the service but prices are pretty high considering how meager the serving of slaw was with the fish and chips. Same goes for the veggies with the halibut. Skimping on sides when asking top dollar tarnishes the overall experience.

    Note to the Servers: Let people just sit and enjoy the views and their food.... If I wanted to eat more, I would have shown up 2 - 3 hours before the place closes to give myself more time to eat more. But I only expected to be there in the final hour before close. Some people like to eat more slowly than others...leave people alone for awhile if they have food in front of them at the table. Don't bother people as much when they have food already... Let them just enjoy the meal

    We have been to this Duke's 3 times and we're disappointed with quality of the food. Their clam chowder, which is normally good, was thick as mud and clearly from the bottom of the pot. Other aspects of the meal we're just average and I don't expect that from a place like Dukes. When the warm sour dough bread is the best part of the meal, you know that something has slipped.
