    My wife and I had a great time at Duke’s. We sat on the patio with a wonderful view of the water. Our server Lilly did a great job answering our questions about the menu. To top it all off the food had great flavor and was perfectly cooked!

    I ordered a steak sirloin, it cooked perfect (medium), but the steak is full of tendons. I asked for a replacement (the second one was good), and waited 30min for the dish. The manager brought the second steak to me, not even saying “sorry for waiting”, just walked away. All my friends already finished their dinner and I had to be rush. No discount no apology, even made me feel I brought them trouble.

    Really fantastic across the board. View of the ocean was fabulous. I didn't really know what to expect food-wise since its sort of a Hawaiian/Surf vibe, but all I can say is "wow". I had mahi mahi with crushed macadamia nuts on top...just order it! Also my daughter wanted a mocktail and not sure if it was on the menu but bartender made her a lavender colada that was not overly sweet, but just perfect! Service was outstanding too and we made our reservation same day. Only knock is that to see the sun itself setting, you have to walk up a few step because (well at least during March) the sunset was a bit obstructed. So people just took turns walking up and taking awesome pictures. Highly highly recommend!
