My Personal Quest For The World’s Best Clam Chowder - Duke’s Chowder House In Seattle
I finally got a chance to check out the new Seattle Duke’s restaurant on Lake Union. The establishment has recently relocated one block north from it’s original location to 1111 Fairview.
Here’s my review:
It was a beautiful sunny spring day. I had drinks and dinner on the outside deck. The view on the water with all the shiny new boats was exceptional.
Service was super friendly and very prompt. The atmosphere was very relaxed and casual. (Yes, there was one table of wealthy “exclusive” business-type folks who were speaking in whispers as if they were selling exclusive rights to the entire world, but we all just ignored them…)
I started my feast with a distinctive pale ale suggested by our waiter Tim. Fremont Brewing’s “Sky Kraken” is one of the best beers I’ve ever had the pleasure to consume. It tasted great! Super smooth with a sunny yellow color which is very appealing. Great suggestion -Thanks Tim!
Duke’s is famous for it’s award-winning chowders. It is in fact a “chowder house” so you’ll find some the freshest seafood on the west coast. If you’re visiting Seattle you simply must try the seafood. You’ll never find fresh delicacies like this in Phoenix or Chicago! Oysters on the half shell…
