Hello,
My name is Fernando Maese. I reside in the city of Whittier, CA. I wanted to write to you because I am suffering of the meanest Tuna Wasabi Quesadilla craving and it's ALL your guys doing!!! My wife Veronica and I visited your restaurant on Wednesday the 5th of September of this year for dinner. Our dining experience at Dukes was tops in comparison to all the other places we visited. The food and service was outstanding. I found your restuarant in the dining out magazine that our hotel provided.
Well, that was my first visit ever to Seattle and all I can think about is your Tuna Wasabi Quesadilla! I had your Seafood Cioppino and my wife had your Halibut Macadamia for dinner. Everything we tasted at your restuarant was great. And the Clam chowder is the best. I have been boasting about Dukes to all my friends and they tell me that they are going to stop by your place and see if it's true about how good the food is there. I've even printed out a few of your menu's for a couple of business friends to tuck away in their briefcases.
Regarding your Quesadilla, my wife and I are hosting Thanksgiving dinner here at our home for both our families and I though it would be a change if we were able to offer our guest a sampling of your Dukes Tuna Wasabi Quesadilla's as an appetizer before the main course. So, I was kind of hoping that you might be so kind as to share your recipe on making this dish with my wife and I. I promise that I won't try and pawn it off as my creation and I'll even go as far as displaying your menu in our kitchen so that everyone can see all the other wonderful dishes you folks prepare and serve.
Believe me, I look forward to my next visit to Seattle and I definitely will be stopping by Dukes a few times during our next trip. My best regards to your staff and Happy Holidays to all.
Sincerely,
Fernando Maes
"Just wanted to let you know, my husband and I went to your Ruston Way restaurant Sat. night. (He’s never been.) He said it was the best tasting meal he’s had in years. One bite of the Stuffed Prawns and all he could say was “Oh Holy Hell” in a very good way. And your chowder has now beaten out his mom’s as his favorite. Congratulations! All the employees were in great spirits and yes the bathrooms were clean! Thought I’d let you know! It was wonderful!"

Hi Duke,
I've been to your Ruston/Tacoma Waterfront location twice now, and thought you should know, I am hooked!! Both times I have been there, I have very friendly waiters, and the hostesses are pleasant when entering and leaving. Also, the food I've had was exceptional. My first visit I had a cheeseburger, and it was one of the best I have ever had. My second visit I tried the coconut prawns and the smoked salmon lettuce shoots. The portion was very fitting to the price and they were delicious, and very well presented. But my favorite part of it all are your Bloody Mary's!!!!!! Keep up the good work. Can't wait for my next visit.

"I swear I woke up dreaming of Duke’s cheeseburgers. Sad that Barbie dolls and mink coats no longer top my list to Santa. Just cheeseburgers.'

"I'm going to keep on drinking Cucumber Mojitos until I get my name on your menu."
~ Rich Carr
"The Dungeness Crab Chowder was worth the
cold walk from my apartment and warmed me
right up. I got seated even without having
a reservation (it was Valentine's Day) and
the hostess was very nice about it. I can't wait for warmer weather so I can
sit outside and watch the parade around Greenlake."

"I've liked Duke's for their chowder and
having explored the menu over the last
few months, am more and more impressed.
The burgers are great, and for happy hour
you can't beat their quesadillas."

"The Lake Union location is a favorite of
mine. During the Summer it's a must stop
kind of place. The patio is great! During
the winter it takes on a cozy element and
the chowder is just the thing to warm those
hard to reach cold spots!!"
~ Munny
"Have to say, I've seen other claims by
many restaurants that "their's" was the
best - Duke's was by far the BEST I've
ever had anywhere!"
~ Chall
"For the money, for the view, and especially
for the food, you can't beat a meal at
Duke's on Lake Union. I joined their email
club and was sent a free dinner email back
right away, used it the following weekend
on the best Salmon of my life, and have
become a three times a month regular because
of it!"
~ Merlin F
"I have been to Duke's for lunch twice in
the last month. The service & the food
have been flawless. The food has been excellent,
the chowder and fish nicely prepared & flavored.
The waiter couldn't be better if he tried."
