Duke's — Restaurant in Bluff

While visiting the area, my husband and I went to Dukes both days we were visiting. The 1st day, we had the house salad, mushroom ravioli, sage infused chicken, and ended it with Jordan's Palm Coffee and carrot cake. On the 2nd day, we split the filet mignon, cauliflower soup, ended it with cheese cake, and Jordan's Palm coffee. Our meals were presented in an artistic way with an edible flower topping them, and the plates were warmed to help maintain the temperature of our meal. Every single bite was absolutely delicious. If we come back through, we will return to Duke's. We did recommend Duke's to another couple at our lodge note. They came too and also loved. The service was fabulous. They were quick and checked in on us. Very hospitable! I'd definitely recommend the Jordan's Palm coffee!! They really need to add a coffee shop to their amenities because it was the best I ever tasted by far! Carrie was our server on our 2nd day, and she was amazing! She made the coffee, and she definitely has a passion and love for coffee and needs to start her own coffee shop!!! Kudos! 1st day, our server was Synessa. She was so sweet and answered all of our questions to help us with our 1st day there. Please don't miss out on this caliber of a meal and service. It's affordable, and wow, I'm so glad we didn't miss out on this gem! Very light relaxing low-key music playing through the restaurant. Very clean....

The place is clean and spacious, very well kept. Service is excellent. But the food... it might be that I’m European, but both in the U.K. or in Italy it would be deemed unacceptable.

First thing I did not like: a substantial gratuity is added even for very small groups of people - we were 3 - and this is probably a bit excessive considering that everything on the menu is expensive... in most restaurants such high gratuities are only applied to large groups. Secondly, the food. Our pancakes were just one big thick pancake per serving. Literally one, despite on the menu you’d read ‘pancakeS’. They were undercooked and this emphasised the inadequacy of the pancakes’ thickness. As a result, these pancakes looked more like a frittata. Moreover, the topping we chose (berries) barely covered 1/10 of the pancake and it would have been nice to see more for what was being paid for. I don’t care if the cost of berries has gone up due to adverse weather conditions, if you just put two berries on top you’re gonna look frugal. It would be best not to use berries at all if you’re just gonna put a couple, or maybe use...

Dine in. Saw the place on our way to Monument Valley. Stopped in at 4:25 on Wednesday, April 12th. Sign on door shows hours of 5 pm to 8:30ish pm Wednesday thru Friday. Decided to wait 30 minutes to open. We were unable to research the menu as we didn't have cell service. So glad we stopped! We were served house made rolls with whipped butter when seated. The rolls and butter were fantastic! The menu had 4 appetizers, 5 entrees, and 6 sides to choose from. We ordered the Caprese salad as an appetizer and each had the 8 oz Fillet mignon with Foie Gras, truffle aioli sauce, saffron rice, honey-glazed baby carrots. The salad was tasty and enough (when shared). The steak was perfectly cooked. It was seasoned well. There were edible delicate greens and flower on the truffle aioli sauce, which added a local feel to the dish. We were unable to finish the entire but overheard the dessert menu from a nearby table....homemade chocolate mousse! Had to try...it was amazing!!! Overall, it was a 5! We...
