Consensus it is then.
No doubt at all that Dukes wins by consensus. Ironically, I made my money and retired here in my mid-30s by taking on public consensus!
It's been fun fellas, even if I have had a bit of a keyboard ass-kicking tonight.
Keep posting the recommendations, as I'll try them all even if I reserve the right to disagree. Best of luck to Dukes (though they don't seem to need it), they are undoubtedly a CM institution even if they don't cater to all tastes.

lol
Don't they do green smileys?
Come out to Highlands pal, I'll sign you in as a guest and talk you through it over 18 holes. I'll bring my passport if it makes you feel better....

So, the conclusion is that Dukes is a very good, value for money, well established restaurant, that can't please all of the people all of the time.
point of order --- I think you mean "the consensus is"
Consensus is indeed a much better term...

Like I said ....
You are missing the point. the tenor of your posts suggest that nobody else has an opinion that can possibly be valid. (over-rated --- the people who like it are easily pleased all the time.) I don't see anybody suggesting that you aren't entitled to your opinion .. I do however, see you suggesting that if people hold an opinion contrary to yours, that they are wrong.
I mean really .... for all I know you are some guy with a personal axe to grind against the place (this is an anonymous -- relatively --- forum). Does that bother me? No. Do I think people will avoid the place because there is a dissenting opinion? No. The CNX crowd actually tends to be hard to please when it comes to food and almost everyone here likes The Dukes.

But that JD simply mirrors my argument...
How can one side of this argument conclude that:-
'Dukes is a very good, value for money, well established restaurant' based on the posts in this thread?
I have absolutely no more an axe to grind than perhaps you are a shareholder. Irrespective of how you choose to interpret the tenor of my posts, I do not at all believe that any opinion other than mine is invalid, in fact I welcome well thought out arguments. Unfortunately the conclusion drawn above does not fit in that category.
