Best Seafood Restaurants in Mercer Island

It was unexpected and a pleasant surprise that our waitress, Taylor, remembered our preferences from our previous dining time. She brought us unsalted bread and unsalted butter and remembered that we also ordered a bottle of Pellegrino. Again, a pleasant surprise for us that she remembered our salt free preference. We ordered the 12 oz filet and New England lobster roll, with a shared salad and octopus appetizer, all items were perfectly made. Latte was delicious and banana sundae too.

Been going to Duke’s for years. The seafood never disappoints.

The oysters ( Kumamoto) were very good, the hot and sour soup was great, the Chilean seabass was great and we ordered some rice with thai style red curry which was excellent. My daughter ordered Opakapaka and she said it was very good too. a nice bottle of a sommelier recommended Sauvignon Blanc completed the circle for an outstanding dining experience.

We reserved an early time for dinner. The host asked if we were there for a special occasion which we were not but nice to know for the future. There were just a few diners so the noise level was low which we like for conversation. Our server was fantastic. He made us feel like we were his only table, and he had a great smile! All five at the table enjoyed their meal and the desserts were yummy.

The food was very good, large portions. Our waitress was very friendly and tentative. There was no wait time to be seated and our waitresses came over within 5 minutes (after we were seated) to take our drink orders. The food was flavorful (except for the stuffing, but then I only love my mom’s stuffing!😉). The Carrol singers were hard to hear although that may have been because the level of the noise from the crowd was a bit loud. The servers that brought our meals were very tentative and kind. Overall we all had a wonderful experience and we will definitely comeback for the New Year’s celebration!!!
