              We loved the view, ambiance and food. Ahi tuna and macadamia nut Mahi Mahi dinners were excellent. Nice salad bar:)

              We were disappointed that the music was downstairs, we could barely hear it When we ate at barefoot bar the day before, music was upstairs, so we ate there to hear. Bummer

              I had a fantastic birthday at Dukes. It started with easy valet and nice hostess staff. Went downstairs for a few cocktails with great bartenders that make Rockstar skinny margaritas. The great service continued upstairs with our wait staffers. It's refreshing to still find a place where they are fully staffed with friendly people. It was Sunday night, so it was surf & turf night, and that didn't disappoint. The salad bar was a pleasant surprise, as was the hula pie.

              Food was quick, tasted as expected, server was courteous and helpful, atmosphere was pleasant, slightly warm so having the ceiling fans on would have helped a bit.

              Overall a nice experience. Service was great, views great. Unfortunately, food portions and quality have dropped off some since we last ate there 2 yrs ago. Overall value was just satisfactory.

              We were so relieved when we saw our reservation confirmed on OpenTable. When we arrived, we were overjoyed! A few minutes later, our lovely server greeted us and we were seated. We ordered, and the salad bar was amazing. The Teri sirloin was delicious, and our Hula Pie was yummy. My wife looked stunning, as always. We had a wonderful time with our impromptu date.

              Do not go to Duke's and eat their salad bar -- especially before a flight. Made me violently ill and had to endure a 5.5 hour flight very sick.
