Duke of Kent is one of my "last-resort" kinda bars. I find the food and drinks fairly overpriced and the ambience isn't anything that special in my opinion. The food portions are small but I will admit I love the idea of the snack portions. The steak was very good, cooked wonderfully medium rare and seasoned nicely. The calamari was meh, not crispy as the batter was very thin.
Last time I came here with my boyfriend we were seating in a horrible spot downstairs close to the side door and almost every time someone opened it, it would stay open for a few seconds making it very chilly! We left our jackets on the whole night. I also had a fly fly into my beer - ew! I came here another time with a bunch of friends and my table was seated upstairs and we were left freezing cold whenever the AC cranked on - we do believe they had issues with the AC as it felt like winter. I'm not sure if I'm just really unlucky with this place but I definitely haven't had great experiences (or seating arrangements!) here.
