    It was last minute decision to go here! So glad we did. Gorgeous place. They did a special dessert for our anniversary. Service is superb. Our waitress Lauren was very knowledgeable. Pricey but worth it for a special occasion.

    We dined at Duke's before heading to the airport to return home. What a wonderful "last meal"! The specialty Mai Tai was wonderful and the featured macadamia nut encrusted Mahi Mahi (featured fish of the day) was perfectly cooked and served with an amazing sauce. The service was very attentive and efficient. The view was stunning and dining room very comfortable and lovely. Be prepared for pricey - I thought more so on the drinks than my entree, comparatively speaking. I would definitely return.

Discover Lihue

Lihue, the capital city of the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, is home to arguably the most diverse array of restaurants on the island. The restaurants in Lihue serve everything from authentic Italian cuisine to organic pescatarian food to "ono local grindz." However, all of the local eateries have something in common: the fresh seafood. The locally caught shrimp is especially popular with visitors. Known throughout the Hawaiian Islands as some of the tastiest shrimp around, the shrimp of Kauai is much sweeter and softer than the shrimp sold at mainstream grocery stores. As a special surprise, Kauai shrimp is usually served with the head on.
