    We had a business dinner with an out-of-state colleague and thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Duke's Seafood Tacoma. We had reservations and were promptly seated at a table with great views of the water. Our waiter was great -- both prompt in serving us, refilling beverages, etc, but also gave us plenty of time to talk before placing our order. The food was delicious -- highly recommend the crab-stuffed halibut or the parmesan encrusted halibut. Everyone raved about the quality of their meal. The restaurant was bustling, even on a Thursday evening, so definitely make reservations in advance and know that there will be a fair amount of noise. We will be back!

    The service fell short during a quiet mid-afternoon, even with only a handful of patrons scattered throughout the restaurant.

    Duke’s is our favorite spot for a special dinner and tonight, as usual, did not disappoint. Server, Chris was friendly and attentive. We had everything from drinks to dessert and all were outstanding. We both had the macadamia crusted halibut for our entree, perfectly cooked, and don’t forget the Marionberry pie! Really can’t beat this spot for food, service, and ambience that are always on point.

    Chris was our server, and he was attentive and excellent. (we had a 18-month-old baby with us and he provided the necessary high chair and utensils suitable for that age_ The food: We ordered steamers with side salad. Good Stuffed halibut: good 2 pc cod fish and chips with clam chowder: Fish was cooked too long, clam chowder/excellent Good experience except for the cod Hold on to your cash as it is expensive

    The grilled chicken sandwich was excellent. My son‘s off the hook salmon came out very overcooked, and the salmon was very dry. There was such a weight between our order and the food arriving that we didn’t feel like bringing it to their attention at the time.
