Did not disappoint after a long day of work!! Everything our group order was so yummy; the Mac & cheese, risotto & Caesar were so good! Very nice view of the marina.

Dockside is an iconic venue and is the epitome of a curated Seattle experience. We had not been to Duke’s prior to beginning our wedding planning, but they were highly recommended by our planners. We chose Duke’s based on their values: commitment to sustainability; a livable wage for its employees; and exceptional customer service. When we first came in to tour the space, Danae realized that we hadn’t been in and treated us to a crab cake. We were extremely impressed with the customer service and the kindness of the staff. Staff was clearly briefed beforehand, and thoughtfully greeted and congratulated the bride and groom by name throughout the night.

The venue itself is situated along the waterfront, which allowed us to divide up the ceremony, dinner, and dancing sequentially, making the venue feel cohesive. Our 130 guests were comfortable with both the outdoor and indoor spaces. They loved photo opportunities on the patio at golden hour overlooking the marina. Duke’s catered a plated dinner for us, and was incredibly accommodating to our guests dietary needs, including gluten-free, vegetarian/vegan, and food allergies. Several guests actually chose to go back to Duke’s to dine again the day after the wedding, which is perhaps the best possible endorsement of the food! Thank you Danae and Duke’s for making our day special and for facilitating a fantastic meal.

I recently had a great dining experience at Duke's on Lake Union. The combination of a delicious meal, a stunning sunset, and a seat on the balcony with a view of Lake Union made for a truly memorable evening. The menu offered a variety of seafood options that were expertly prepared and bursting with flavour. To complement the meal, their cocktails were outstanding. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that every aspect of the dining experience was enjoyable. I highly recommend Duke's for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic meal with a breathtaking view and fantastic cocktails.

Had the most beautiful wedding at Dockside at Dukes last weekend. I can’t rave about it enough. From our first visit over a year ago we were sold by the views of the water. Throughout this year we worked with Venue Coordinator Katie and she was a DREAM. Any question I had she answered, responded quickly, and was an overall joy to work with. We really leaned on her with help of timing and she had it all under control.

Come the day of the wedding it was raining all day but had our heart set on an outside ceremony. We were able to make the decision just a few hours to have it outside and so glad we did! The sun came out right on time. Jessie and the rest of the staff were incredible. Kind, thorough, and so joyful throughout the day.

The food is amazing! If you're wanting true PNW food for your wedding this is the place. The crab cakes apps were a huge hit. And the signature cocktails we were able to create with our drink package came out perfect. There are so many food and drink options we could have at our wedding. Loved having so many options!

Overall cannot recommend Dockside enough. If you’re wanting a by the water venue with fantastic food, amazing staff, and stunning views this is the place to have your celebration!

Love the happy hour and desserts here! Great fresh seafood! Cool interior and friendly service!

We had a bunch of the single service happy hour items and the stuffed shrimp and clam chowder to all share. It was so tasty! Coconut shrimp were great! The shrimp and crab cocktail was the best. Loved the shrimp ad scallop screwer.

The desserts were excellent. We tried the mulberry pie and the chocolate/mocha ice cream desserts. Both were excellent!

Award winning chowder and crab and shrimp gnocchi is amazing!!! Sat out by the water and with the heater on it was a great atmosphere. Service by Tatum was 5+ stars.

We recently had our happily ever after party at Dockside at Duke's, it was nothing short of magical! The venue is perched right on the water of Lake Union, offering breathtaking views that made our special day even more memorable. The combination of the stunning scenery and the flexible indoor/outdoor spaces allowed our guests to seamlessly flow between the two, making for a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

The wait staff at Dockside went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. From going the extra mile by laying out cheesecloths just as I envisioned to lighting the candles, they were attentive to every detail, no matter how small. Their dedication truly made the day stress-free for us and our guests.

The food was a highlight—an exquisite representation of Pacific Northwest cuisine. Everything was delicious, flavorful, and presented beautifully, impressing all our guests. Our guests could not stop raving about how good the food was! Calling it nothing like the generic wedding food they had past receptions.

The bartenders were equally impressive, expertly crafting our specialty cocktails with ease and ensuring everyone had what they needed throughout the evening.

The bridal suite was a perfect, convenient space for getting ready, adding to the ease of the day. Wait staff came in and brought us drinks and appetizers - it was the most perfect and stress-free experience. And when it came time to clean up, the staff handled everything, taking care of all the garbage and leaving us with nothing to worry about. I even asked if I could help and they said no.

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding. Dockside at Duke's provided not only a beautiful setting but also exceptional service that exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking to create a truly unforgettable wedding experience!

Dockside @ Dukes was our dream wedding venue. The location on Lake Union is just magical. The outside area was perfect for our ceremony and cocktail hour and the inside was the best for dinner and dancing. The food was amazing we picked the Duke buffet package and were told by many guest how this was the best wedding food they have had and we agree. All the servers at our wedding were attentive and made sure our guest were taken care of. Katie is the venue & catering coordinator. She was very communicative and made sure all our details were documented so the day of wedding went smoothly. She responded to all my email questions quickly and efficiently. We were happy to find a venue that was all inclusive (catering, tables & chairs, linens, etc.) it made a huge difference and we didn't have to rent or hire too many vendors. I would highly recommend having your wedding or event at Dockside @ Dukes
