    Love this restaurant. Been going for years. Food and drinks always good. My scallops could have been warmer. My husband loved his smash burger. Great waitress. Very limited menu. Maybe because it’s so early in the season? Not one salad offered and only a few entrees. So if you are a very fussy eater I’d check the menu on line before going.

    Wonderful food, attentive service, but very noisy. Cries out for a carpet or any sound abatement that might allow conversation at a table for 2 to4. Miss the old original Gurney’s corny Italian rococo decor that was a relief from the now ubiquitous “ zen”running to “ Amish “ look of un inviting plain colorless Uber simple gray fixtures. Looks as if it was decorated by Monks who have taken a vow of poverty. Art work is all black, gray and during late fall no view of gorgeous ocean after early sunset. No music either but the noise would drown it out anyway. Very pricey for teensy portions.

    The owner, Leya, is so friendly and energetic. The wait staff is very friendly and accommodating. I'd mention my server, but I forget his name. Sorry because he was just awesome. Loved talking with him. The food, drinks and entertainment were great. Even surprise guest Jason Momoa promoting his vodka, Meili (which is fantastic!) was an added bonus. I honestly have nothing negative at all to say about Duke's. All around it was a great experience! Hope to return next summer.
