unless you guys are planning on fish and chips, you had better pick a resturant, get a loose head count, and make some reservations.

I think early dinner would be fine with me, like 4:00 or 5:00? I'll check with my better half (we have some plans for that day), but I think it would workout fine.

The last time we were there, we stayed downtown, so I'm clueless for a location, but it sounds like Duke's may be a good choice?? If no one can check it out, I can see if my wife's folks can do any of the leg work.

lookin forward to meeting some new 914'ers!

Duke's Restaurant looks pretty good. Their address is 2516 Alki Ave SW... I notice that there's a Spud Restaurant just a block away, at 2666 Alki Ave SW (Spud is owned by Ivar's).

I'll go to both places this weekend, to see what hours they serve lunch and dinner (to find out when they switch to the dinner menu), and to compare menu prices, seating, location, and parking. I'll post that info asap. Any other West Seattle by-the-water restaurants to consider?

Geoff, looking at Duke's menus made me hungry! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The food is good Seattle type fare, lots of seafood, pasta and meat, salads.
The VIEW is the really best part! The parking is on the street and can be tough but there is lots of it! Just be prepared to drive around until a spot frees up.

Damn!.. What can I say, folks.. Geoff sure knows the good places.

I have nothing but superlatives for Duke's. The layout is perfect, the food looks great, the people are classy and laid-back, and there's a good beer selection and a full bar. And the view is incredible! The assistant manager said they can comfortably seat 20 or so people together out on the deck with the awesome view, and they will reserve an area of tables for us. He also said they can squeeze in a few more people if necessary. What a terrific place!! I was really impressed.

The only other place worth considering is right next door to Duke's. It's a place called Christo's, and the menu is the same, but it doesn't have a hip-cool laid-back energy and the view is not as good.

Please consider attending this event, everyone. Believe me, you'll be glad you did!!

Geoff, this location is closer to me. I can handle the arrangements...

Since when is classy people in a restaurant important to this group. Remember February in Freemont, we were checkin out the hair in the waitress' armpits. Good food is important, good beer is important, good view is nice. Clientele doesn't matter unless it's a biker bar where a bunch of Porsche people might get beat up. Personally I would prefer that waitresses didn't have hairy pits but I may be in the minority. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

Nope, I didn't like the hairy pits. West Seattle is fine by me, not as far to drive.

Book em Danno! Roger, you da man! Thanks for putting forth the effort, it should be a great time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

What's a good time? I put up 4 or 5, but I don't know how this works for everyone else. However, if Roger is doing the leg work then Roger can call the shots! Whatever, I'm in, and looking forward to it.

ps I guess I'm a little too "American" for hairy armpits, but I did graduate from high school in the 70's

Bad Timing! I’ve got a family vacation scheduled for July 15-21 at Lake Chelan … and I live only a few blocks from Dukes!

Dukes is great! The parking situation sucks on any weekend afternoon/evening (only on-street parking).

Sounds good, will this be a wife/partner event? Kitsap peninsula folks caravan? Or Iam a few minutes from the Southworth ferry. Iam not sure Spuds has room for a larger gathering but the food is great.

I went ahead and made the reservation:

July 18th - chat/drinks/appetizers starting ~ 4:00, and dinner starting ~ 5:00... it's a loose format.
That gives people time to find parking, and even arrive a little late. No stress, no worries.

We have a prime group of tables on the awesome outdoor deck (as seen on Duke's website), and they are expecting about 20 of us, but they can put up another table for about 6 more people, if necessary. At this point it looks like we should be okay for room. Oh by the way, everyone on the outdoor deck has to be 21 or over, since the deck has a bar built into it..

Bring the wifes and girlfriends as this is a good spot to eat at. Wear sunglasses so the wifes can't see you looking at the girls across the street (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Spuds has gone downhill IMHO (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

Ok, who is going???????
I am with Monique
