    Food was “meh,” which surprised us since we have eaten at Dukes, Kimos, Leilani’s and Jake’s in various places and always loved the food. Best part of this Dukes was the salad bar . We were disappointed as we had saved this for our last night on Kaua’i as a special last treat.

    It’s always a pleasure to dine at Duke’s. The food is always delicious, the servers are accurate and spot on, the AYCE salad bar is the bomb, and the ambience is the best w a beautiful view! Valet parking is comp, just tip the valet. We celebrated a birthday and the birthday gal was surprised w the famous Hula Pie and candle. We all shared it! It’s the best dessert ever!!!

    Great service. Great ocean view table. Good music. Menu is more limited than in past years. The food was good but not memorable.

    Celebrating 2 birthdays & a 56th wedding anniversary with family, we made reservations with Open Table. I did need to change something on our reservations & tried many times to call the restaurant. The voice mail box would not accept messages. I finally got through to someone at the restaurant the day of our reservation. Our server was wonderful, thorough, friendly & very helpful. She acknowledged all the celebrations as did the gentleman who seated us. Salad bar was wonderful, filet was tender & tasty, chicken & ribs were good & the macadamia nut crusted fish was wonderful. There was a special not on the menu & not offered initially that was coconut shrimp. Only when my Sister asked about the appetizer vs the dinner was she told about it. She ended up getting it & loved it. Our hula pie celebration was delicious too. Overall a wonderful way to celebrate anything or even nothing. We were happy to see 2 different cruise ships pull out of port from where we sat - fascinating.
