Duke's Kauai offers stunning ocean views, "amazing food," and "excellent service." Diners love the "beautiful atmosphere" and the famous Hula Pie. The salad bar is a hit, while standout dishes include macadamia nut-crusted fish and prime rib. Some found the food overpriced, but overall, it's a "must-stop for dinner" with a "relaxing and romantic" vibe.

    I'm normally not a big fan of buffets, but Duke's Sunday Brunch is the exception. There was a beautiful array of so many choices - from fruit to Hawaiian "staples" to egg dishes and more - all delicious and plentiful. Plus, the view cannot be beat! Very comfortable seating, great service and a great start to a Kauai morning. Come hungry!

    We eat at Dukes frequently on Kaui and home in Malibu. We have always had a great experience. This time the food was not good at all. My plate was served cold and the fish overcooked. The server Rebecca was great offered to make it again and the manager came to apologize as well. The second plate was better but not great. Very disappointed it was my birthday dinner and I was looking forward to it

    Our server was great. The wontons we ordered tasted really bad but everything else was solid. The sirloin was pretty great with the teriyaki.
