$29 for this bowl of lettuce. Menu says 'caesar salad'. Had to go up and and ask for bacon to be added to the salad. They offered to bring a bowl of bacon separately? On what planet is a bowl of lettuce and sauce $29? Absolute joke, would definitely not recommend. Gave 5 stars for atmosphere because Milly Joel was playing but otherwise AVOID.
***Updated 13 July: I left a Google review a few weeks ago after a poor experience for dinner at The Duke. The lovely manager Grace responded and asked me to email them re: a complimentary meal. My partner and I were welcomed back last Friday and received a complimentary drink and dinner for two. It was really lovely, Grace looked after us so well and the food was great!*** My boyfriend and I popped in after some late night shopping in the city yesterday. I have been there twice for work events I had planned and it was great. However, the dinner was horrendously overpriced and the food quality was really poor. I ordered the prawn & chorizo linguine (which was $40!!). It was the blandest meal I have had in Melbourne. I couldn't even eat it, the chorizo was bright pink balls randomly thrown in the pasta. I ate the prawns and left. My boyfriend ordered the chicken burger & chips. Again really really bland. We could have saved ourselves over $80!!! and cooked at home. Good venue for a drink and watching a game, but that's it. Probably won't be back.
Dropped into the Duke of Wellington on a Sunday arvo for a drink in the main bar before heading up to the rooftop for a meal. Despite the drizzle and bursts of sunshine, the rooftop felt welcoming — plenty of space, greenery, and a relaxed vibe. We did have to wipe down our own table, but once settled, it was a great spot to unwind. The roast of the day was perfect, with rich, flavoursome gravy, and the chicken parmy hit the mark too. The salad was a bit soggy, but honestly, who comes here for the salad? Great Sunday atmosphere overall.
Had a lovely dinner at the rooftop, Some sides that were okay. But the prawn pasta with chorizo was a win. ☺️
Really enjoy dinning at The Duke, often having lunch and the occassional eveing meal with my wife. The food is excellent and the staff are friendly and attentive Its also our regular wednesday after work drinks venue.
