We had the most wonderful ocean view, we were in heaven. Our server was absolutely fantastic and our food was perfect. Macadamia crusted fish in a lemon caper sauce and the prime rib, both were phenomenal.

We have come to Kauai every other year for decades and try to dine at Duke’s every visit, at times as many as 20+ people. We really look forward to it. Never disappointed. It isn’t cheap, but it’s worth the cost. The fresh fish is awesome.

While, they ran out of steaks by the time we got there. They compted us our drinks and were truly kind and apologetic the whole time. Food was spectacular and service was quite prompt.

We had the brunch on a Sunday. Overall it was good, but at $50 each i would expect more than just good. My fav was the fried rice, teriyaki chicken, and macadamia nut pancakes. The beet goat cheese salad was very delicious too!

Wait staff is awesome, vibe is cool, food not great for having higher prices. Prime rib no flavor, mostly gristle. Salad bar $25 and if you eat after 7, lots of stuff is missing. Ribs were dry. Cocktails were good.

We had the prime rib which was good. The potatoes were average. I didn’t care for the asparagus. The calamari appetizer was good as were the Duke’s Mi TI. We are used to getting free bread to start the meal at good restaurants but they did not serve bread.
