Waited around 5 minutes at the door to be seated. When someone finally acknowledged us, they tried to sit the party that arrived after we did (they were proper and allowed us to sit first). We were seated, given menus, then we waited 15 minutes for no one to come to the table, not even an “I’ll be right with you” as they walked by. We were on a time line, so we left. I can’t comment on the food as we never got any, but the service was non-existent. It was not overly busy and there were several servers around.

Had to wait 10-15 minutes for a table when the place was empty. Another 20 minutes for server to come ask us for drinks. Servers were eyeing each other, questioning who was going to serve us. Another family left because the service took too long. The drinks took a long time to come out. Partial of the food was burnt. There were only 5 tables and plenty of staff. Despite them being nice, the place needs a manager.

Not sure what happened but took over an hour to get our food and then the steaks were cooked wrong. 😞
On a Sunday morning around 10:30, with maybe 10 people the service was slow, there were dirty tables and staff standing around talking and not doing their jobs.

First time ever coming here food was beyond amazing mussels in garlic wine sauce was spot on could have consumed the broth itself! Had the 12 oz NY strip, by far best steak in a long time, would rank my top 5! Atmosphere was great and staff was amazing! Executive chef came out to visit and see how we liked our dinner!
Listen, food was superb. Service was slow, but are short staffed. I honestly felt bad for our waitress but the live band/tasty food made up for it. Management should acknowledge/reward to those who show up to work. Ended up tipping extra because I felt bad for a busy night with 3 waitresses.

The wait staff are friendly and competent, and the atmosphere is pleasant. But the food seems mediocre for the price.

Someone had recommended that the pub did great burgers so we checked it out. Nobody came to the table so I went to pick up a menu. A short while later a waitress took our drinks orders and orders for food. The drinks arrived and maybe 15 minutes later our food. I asked her for some ketchup and we ordered some more drinks, a beer and a glass of wine. After well over 5 minutes nothing had arrived. I called the waitress over to tell her to forget about the drinks and bring some water. This arrived together with the drinks we had just cancelled and the ketchup (I was half way through my meal). She was apologetic and explained that she’d been in the rest room. Maybe she was just having an off night. The atmosphere at the Dukes is somewhat lacking and altogether it was an experience we would sooner forget.

Food sucks. Who sends out burnt hamburgers? Don't waste your time eating here. If you can't cook hamburgers you shouldn't work on a restaurant.

This used to have an omelet bar with a breakfast buffet years ago that was amazing. My son and I went here for breakfast a couple weeks ago after working night shift and I seriously could not believe how bad the food was. The eggs tasted horrible, the potatoes had no flavor, and I asked for crispy bacon which was so hard I couldn't eat it. I was just so shocked that it changed that much. The people were nice and it is beautiful inside but I will not return to eat.

Food was amazing!! Service was even better. Definitely a place to stop on the way to the airport or getting off the plane!

We were considering dine in however upon entering there is a really concerning, bad, bar funk/drain smell. We had a drink outside and opted not to eat due to the smell. Service for drinks was slow despite having only one other table. Definitely do not recommend.

My boyfriend & I came here for my Step-Dad's small 70th Birthday dinner. Him and his best friend come there often and highly suggested we should too. I honestly could not ask for better service, drinks, or food. It was great (and I'm pretty picky). Mike and Julie were two of the most attentive, kind, and professional servers/bartenders I've had in years.
Highly recommend this place. I cannot thank them enough for the dining experience we had and how accommodating they were to my Step-Dad Ron and his best friend Mary. They went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The drinks did not taste "watered down" and the food came out hot and excellent.
Please give this place a try and ask for either Mike or Julie. You won't be disappointed!

Terrible service. Went in for breakfast and ordered immediately. Waited 40 minutes for eggs and pancakes. Left without eating because we were going to be late for a tour of UVM.
