"Stopped by Alki Beach for the day, and my family and I were looking for a lunch spot. Based on Yelp reviews and the internet, we chose Duke 's seafood. The interior is on the smaller size, and I could see this place filling up quickly during dinner time and the weekends. We were seated quickly, and we lucked out getting a table by the window. It was a good spot to people watch. The waiter was very enthusiastic and eager to assist us with recommendations and getting us started with drinks and appetizers. I loved how the menu was easy to navigate with items marked gluten free clearly. I was most intrigued by the all chowder options, and they are all gluten free!! I wanted to order a flight to sample them, but I decided to try the lobster one first. It was amazing, like some of the best "lobster "chowder I 've had. The chowder part was perfectly creamy and had a good texture. It contained a lot of Argentinian shrimp and other veggies. I cannot wait to try the other chowders on my next visit. When our chowders came out first, the waiter brought complimentary sourdough bread. Since I have a gluten free diet, they accommodated me and brought out my own gluten free bread. Each time my food came out (chowder, bread, and entree! , the manager served it to ensure that it was prepared as carefully as possible. For my entree, I ordered the dungenes crab salad. The salad part was average, nothing to really say about it except the vegetables were fresh. The crab part, however, was delicious. Serving size is generous, and I felt so full after eating it. The salad was the perfect vessel to carry the crab . The other two people had the crab cake sandwich combo. For the price, it 's a great deal to get the sandwich, fries, and a bowl of chowder. Both said the crab cake itself was good and should have been served by itself. The sandwich had a chipotle aioli, bacon, and avocado that took away from the flavors of the crab cake. In that instance, less would have been more. I look forward to returning the next time I am at Alki Beach. It 's a great place for seafood!"
