Duke's Seafood Greenlake

Duke’s Seafood Greenlake is a casual seafood restaurant in Seattle’s Green Lake neighborhood, positioned beside one of the area’s popular walking destinations. The restaurant offers a relaxed setting for lunch, dinner, drinks, or a stop after time spent around the lake and nearby shops.

The menu centers on sustainable seafood, with fish and shellfish joined by meat dishes, burgers, and choices for vegetarian and gluten-free diners. The cooking is approachable rather than formal, making the restaurant suitable for a range of occasions, from a quick midday meal to a longer dinner with friends or family. A children’s menu adds to its family-friendly appeal.

Seafood remains the focus, while the broader menu gives mixed groups plenty of flexibility. Appetizers, salads, main courses, desserts, cocktails, and wine provide options across a full meal. The restaurant also serves a dedicated happy hour menu, with food and drinks available during two daily periods, making it a practical choice for an early evening gathering or a later casual bite.

An outdoor patio provides views toward Green Lake and gives the restaurant a seasonal option for lake-facing dining.

The combination of a familiar neighborhood setting and a seafood-led menu suits diners looking for a polished meal without a formal dining room atmosphere.

Reservations, pickup, and delivery are available, and the restaurant has a dedicated parking lot with an entrance on Densmore Avenue as well as street parking nearby.
